The investigation began when the mother of a 13-month-old south Fulton County boy brought him to Piedmont Newnan Hospital about 5 p.m. Saturday, saying her child had ingested cocaine.
The toddler’s 17-year-old mother is considered a witness and has not been charged, Sgt. Lee Gragg of the Palmetto Police Department said.
“The mother of the child is cooperating with us, and we spoke with other witnesses who stated cocaine was open and unprotected on the table,” Gragg told Channel 2.
Officers were told that the boy, whose name was not released, had ingested cocaine at the home of the boy’s mother and her boyfriend in the 200 block of Elm Street, police said.
The child was transferred to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. He was admitted to the hospital for observation and tested positive for cocaine, police said.
Saturday night, Palmetto police executed a search warrant at the boy’s home, and “evidence was found and collected at the residence,” Gragg said.
The grandmother Ebony Daniel turned herself in about 5:35 p.m. after arrest warrants were issued for her and Charlie Martin, charging both with possession of cocaine, cruelty to children in the first degree and reckless conduct.
