A six-week-old girl in Milwaukee (Wisconsin) who was mistakenly given baby formula mixed with two shots of vodka was expected to be released from a hospital.
Police Spokesman, Bradley Hetlet,
said on Thursday in Milwaukee (Wisconsin), that the baby had a blood
alcohol level of 0.294, more than three times the legal limit for an
adult driver, after receiving the vodka-tainted formula.
He said investigators believe it was a mistake and the girl's parents will not be charged for the alcohol incident.
Hetlet
said the girl's mother told police she filled a container with water to
be used for the baby's bottle, set it on a kitchen counter and left the
room.
He said the girl's father entered the
kitchen, emptied the container and filled it with vodka, intending to
take the water bottle to a friend's home.
Hetlet
said when the mother returned to the kitchen, she mixed about two ounces
of the liquid with baby formula and fed her baby.
"The parents realised the error when the child began acting abnormally. Then the blame game started,’’ he said.
Hetlet
said several fights ensued between the girl's 22-year-old father and
her mother, family members and police as rescue workers arrived and then
rushed the baby to a hospital.
