https://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/boy-dies-after-mistaking-dads-meth-for-breakfast-cereal/news-story/b364827a2551feea104d02b42027c811

Eight-year-old Curtis Collman III woke up early on June 21 and told his dad, Curtis Gilbert Collman II, that he wanted something to eat, the man told authorities, according to WDRB.

Meth can be crystal like, or brownish in colour and could have been mistaken for cereal in low light.

The child ate a staggering amount of the drug 18,000 nanograms toxicology results released this week revealed, the Seymour Tribune reported.

Mr Collman noticed his son was feeling sick about 10am and asked a friend to come over to help check him out, according to police documents obtained by NBC-Wave3.

But instead of taking the boy to a hospital like his friend suggested, Mr Collman allegedly ripped her mobile phone away, pointed a gun at her head and screamed, Im not going back to prison, the Seymour Tribune reported.

He allegedly threatened to shoot her, himself and the boy if she called 911.

The father then picked up his son and allegedly rushed to his mothers house instead of a hospital, according to WAVE TV.

When they arrived, the boy began turning blue and his grandfather eventually called authorities.

The boy was taken to the Schneck Medical Center, where he later died.

The dad is facing a slew of charges, including neglect that led to the death of a dependent and possession of meth, reports said.

A bond reduction request was barred by a Jackson County judge on Friday. He faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted. A trial is set for December 4.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/true-crime/wp/2018/08/06/father-of-8-year-old-who-ate-meth-and-died-refused-to-call-911-police-say

Collman told investigators that his son had waked him up on the morning of June 21, saying that he was hungry. Collman said he told the child that there was nothing to eat in the house and then went back to sleep. Later, he said, his son woke him up again, but was not acting right, according to the probable cause affidavit.

Collman reportedly told investigators that his son was laying there talking to his brother, who was not there and that he was twitching and bouncing his face off the floor.

Collman also told police that his son was hot, burning up hot, thirsty and was grabbing his face and scratching his own face, according to the probable cause affidavit.

According to the affidavit, Collman told police that he called a friend, who came over, looked at the child and told Collman to take him to a hospital, but Collman told her that the child would be fine.

It's 18 micrograms. A tablespoon is something like ~15 grams for water. So not very much.

I'm pretty sure you live in an area where you're more likely to be exposed to it than I am. Which isn't the point of me ridiculing you over that question.

There's no chance the story happened like this. Once the meth touched that kids tongue he would be spitting it out and would never touch it again, its disgusting. The father is obviously unhinged and has to be hiding something. Idk if he intentionally poisoned his kid to cover up something else but damn.

The father could face felony charges for the substance alone. Why would he use that as the murder weapon? It may as well be a confession note.

A child ate a lot of it, so Im assuming it was sweet.

This is a guy who thought he wouldn't go to jail if they didn't call the doctors. He's clearly not that smart.

I have no idea, I'm just speculating. But he could have done something to the kid that made him really sick or gonna die anyways, so he shoved some meth down his throat thinking he could argue the kid got into it and ate it on his own. Again just speculating, I have no idea. What I do know is that that kid did not willingly eat a bunch of meth.

Its probably not an ideal environment. No telling when the last him he ate was. In Venezuela children are dying from eating pebbles because theyre so hungry and desperate to get something in their stomach.

Kids can be stupid, but that doesn't change their taste buds. And yeah I was speculating about what the father did, not about the fact that the kid did not willingly eat that meth. Selective editing to take things out of context is a bad way to be taken seriously bro.

Well one, people would still be killing him for being so negligent and allowing his child to die. And two, yeah there's a difference between the drugs your doctor gives you for medicine and the drugs your dealer gives you for fun.

Yeah this sounds like dad was up to something (more) sketch and covered it up. Or the kid was desperate, which still doesn't make dad seem any better. Dude is prolly gonna get the 40 years, which I'd be okay with. Go ahead and try to live a life after 40 years in the pen, he'll suffer in and out. Prolly get killed in prison hopefully with how unhinged he is. See how tweaking gets ya in there.

Eh, my dad's an ex-con tweaker and my mom left me with him alone as a kid. He was an addict who actually put his family first at least. I'm sure there are more like him out there and not batshit crazy guys like this.

Thinking up cover stories and avoiding calling 911 during emergencies happens because drugs are illegal. Just another reason to legalize it.

Nothing would have changed. The victim is an 8 year old.

You could change the meth out for alcohol . . . a legal recreational substance could have just as easily killed the kid.
Could have been bleach.

The point is the kid was accidentally poisoned.

LSD, psilocybin, and THC basically have no lethal dose . . . but I can't imagine anyone told you that meth can't be lethal.
