A 14-month-old girl ended up in a coma in Pavia hospital. The doctors of the San Matteo Polyclinic have found traces of marijuana in the girl’s urine: that is why the girl, who has recovered and is doing better in the meantime, was temporarily separated from her parents and entrusted to a protected community. The episode, reported by the local newspaper “La Provincia Pavese”, dates back to a few days ago. The girl’s parents, living in Lomellina, had noticed that their daughter was not feeling well and was manifesting a deeper and deeper sleep. Concerned about her state of health, they decided to take her to the Pediatric ward of the San Matteo Polyclinic, where now the little girl has arrived in a coma.
The girl is now well: she has been entrusted to a protected facility
Later, doctors at the Pavia facility discovered there were traces of marijuana in the boy’s urine. At that time they notified the police, who started the investigation to find out what happened to the minor. The most plausible hypothesis is that the girl may have picked up a small amount of cannabis from the ground or from another part of the house, left by her parents by mistake. The child would have ingested the substance and felt ill. Fortunately, within days of being admitted, the girl recovered. Now, while trying to clarify what happened, the Milan Juvenile Court has decided to separate the daughter from her parents and entrust her to a protected center.

The many similar episodes had even led the chief prosecutor of the Milan juvenile court, Ciro Cascone, https://milano.fanpage.it/milano-bambino-di-un-anno-e-mezzo-positivo-alla-cocaina-sara-sottratto-alla-madre/a raise an alarm: “Drugs defined as ‘soft’, and it is not known to what extent they are, now seem to go through customs in many settings, even if by law they are not legal. And this actually translates into increased exposure of children to substances that can have serious or very serious health effects “. But it appears that his warning was ignored.
