When her teething infant son would not stop crying, an Arkansas woman called her mother and was told to rub some alcohol on the child’s painful gums.
Instead, cops charge, Lori Sheppard, 28, put bourbon in her 10-month-old son’s bottle, leading to the infant’s hospitalization and her arrest for child endangerment and aggravated assault.
Sheppard’s son Ronald was rushed last week to a hospital emergency room after he was found “limp and unresponsive.”
Sheppard initially told cops that the child “was fine before she placed him in his playpen” inside the family’s trailer home in Mt. Holly, a community about 125 miles south of Little Rock.

ReplyDeleteRubbing alcohol on the baby's gums would be ineffective, but putting it in the child's bottle might have harmed more than it helped.

Yep... The Clinton's.
I think that the phrase "rubbing alcohol on his gums" was using "rubbing" as a verb, not as a noun.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a common practice even when I was a kid in the '50's. But moms didn't put a full shot in the milk bottle.
