According to investigators, a 4-year-old girl was forced to drink whiskey, by her grandmother, who pushed her to complete the bottle while the mother watched.
China Record, 4, died from acute alcohol intoxication, according to the East Baton Rouge coroner’s office, according to The Advocate. Sgt. L’Jean McKneely of the Baton Rouge Police Department said the little child had a blood-alcohol level of.680 when authorities arrived at the family’s house on Thursday. The legal driving age for those above the age of 21 is.08.
First-degree murder charges have been filed against the girl’s mother, 28-year-old Kadjah Record, and her 53-year-old grandmother, Roxanne Record, McKneely said.
When China took a swig from the bottle of Canadian Mist whisky, the two grew enraged, according to the booking paperwork. When she pushed the youngster to drink it on her knees, the grandma claims the bottle was “almost half full,” but we don’t believe her.
According to the police, the mother was “there and failed to stop” the grandmother from “offering the alcoholic beverage.” According to the report, the youngster was put in a bathtub after she had fallen unconscious. After she was arrested, the grandmother reportedly told police that she had “ruined everyone’s life” and that “this went too far.”
