Toddlers Fed Spaghetti With Cannabis


Recommended Posts

A man today denied deliberately feeding two toddlers spaghetti with a cannabis laced sauce.

 

Anthony John Patten, 22, pleaded not guilty in the South Australian District Court to two counts of administering cannabis to a child.

 

Patten was alleged to have administered the drug to two girls, aged two and four, in September last year at a house in Adelaide's north.

 

He denied the charges in a brief hearing today and was remanded on bail to reappear again next month.

 

An earlier Magistrates Court hearing was told the girls were hospitalised after allegedly eating spaghetti with a sauce laced with marijuana.

 

Patten, who was caring for the two children of a friend, told police he served the girls a lunch of spaghetti with a pasta sauce containing cannabis, police prosecutor Harry Scherwitzel told the Elizabeth Magistrates Court last September.

 

Patten said he had simply forgotten what was in the sauce, the Magistrates Court was told.

Chances are he made it a fair while back and forgot that he put some weed in it but as far as the media can see he's a monster who is really giving the kids a sample so that they'll get hooked and end up as addicts to this all powerful kingpin. I'll sleep much easier knowing he's off the streets, rather than all the people who abuse their positions of trust like in the church, and the scouts, to name but a couple.
