A Vancouver father faces criminal charges after his three-year-old daughter drank from a water bottle that contained the dangerous street drug GHB and suffered what appeared to be a seizure.
Vancouver police say the 33-year-old man was at a party Saturday night and left a water bottle containing GHB on the family's kitchen counter when he returned home.
About 8:30 a.m. Sunday morning the little girl was playing and went for a drink in the kitchen, where she found the water bottle and took a sip.
"She started to vomit and then began to choke and appeared to have a seizure," said Const. Tim Fanning.
Her mother called an ambulance and the little girl was taken to hospital. She was released Monday, although Fanning could not say if she had returned to her parents' home.
Police questioned the parents Sunday and have recommended a charge of criminal negligence against the father, who has not been identified by police to protect the little girl and her nine-year-old brother.
