Is it possible to prosecute the 14 yr old who slipped my daughter ecstasy?

This question is pretty ridiculous and proves just how naive and clueless parents really are...

You really think someone could slip a WHOLE pill into someone soda and them not notice a thing??! The pills are a decent amount of powder and if it was dropped into soda... it would sink to the bottom. It also is very bitter/ chemical taste and another thing is that you would DEFINITELY notice the powder in your mouth, when you swallow. Trust me, try crushing up a med and drop it in a cup of water and tell me that you don't notice a difference.

You're daughter was obviously experimenting... 14 - 15 is when it usually starts. And how do you even know for sure it was mdma (ecstasy) Could have been meth.. they don't have tests for just E, it shows up as amphetamines. And where do you get that you only take E when you smoke pot?? This is ridiculous, like saying you only eat cheese if it's on pizza. Many people take E by itself, just like any other drug.

Most likely this is what happened... Your daughter heard about E and was curious. She took it (with all her meds in her system) this had a very adverse affect which caused seizures.. I mean, if you take E alone, it is very rare to have a seizure, or any of those things you listed. She didn't know what to do because she realized it all was a bad idea when she started reacting weirdly to the drug. She freaked out had a seizure. She woke up, didn't want you to know that she had done drugs so she blamed it all on her friend.

Another thing.. you really think that a terrible experience like that would cause addiction??! Do you even know how people get addicted to drugs? I'm beginning to doubt that you're really even a mom or that this question is legitimate.

and then the part about "ecstasy stops all production of serotonin. Research what it can do chemically." Uhh.. no it actually just releases all the serotonin, it has nothing to do with "stopping all production" where are you getting your information?

And, there's nothing you could tell me about E that I wouldn't know.

I suggest you get your facts straight mdma before you say ridiculous things...

Have a nice day, and I hope you consider my answer, because to be honest, too many parents are so clueless as to what's really going on in their kids life.

Like look at me, my dad has no idea of anything.

This will be the local prosecutor's decision. And, he will decide only after reviewing all the police reports and interviews. If it appears he cannot prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that this other 14 year old was the one that committed the crime, then there will be no prosecution.

As an aside, a single dose of ecstasy will not cause permanent damage to serotonin production. A single dose will not cause addiction. Problems arise with regular repeated use of ecstasy, but isolated ingestion does not cause any long-term permanent side effects. This is clear from reviewing all of the credible research.

And, it is very common to take Ecstasy alone, without other drugs. There are many teenagers who have taken ecstasy without concurrently taking marijuana, or other drugs.

No, unfortunately. Without evidence that the individual drugged your daughter there can be no prosecution.

And yes, 14 y.o. kids do take drugs by themselves because they don't have $ for others. Just saying.

Basically, you don't even have a real witness since you daughter obviously didn't see the individual drug her cup.

All the hospital records show is that your daughter had drugs in her system, not who got them there. In fact as far as that goes, physical evidence shows it more likely that your daughter took the drugs since she actually had them in her (not saying she did, I'm just pointing out what it looks like).

Yes, thank God for police officers.

I'd recommend making sure your daughter's friends from now on are good kids who will look out for her.

The first time i did ex was in 1988 and I was 24 years old. It was pretty fun at first but the second time I took it I vomited so i never took it again. I never was a druggie type so I never got hooked on anything...this was in my single clubbing days when 75% of the dance club was on EX.

To answer your question, call a lawyer to get the facts before you do anything.

It is not up to you to prosecute anyone. The police will need a confession from the other girl to make this case. Otherwise they have nothing but an overdose.

Well im glad your daughter is ok!that is a strong drug and even lets just say if your daughter was experimenting someone needs to be charged for providing it but yes you need to report this only than will the story be figured out! good luck!

You cant get addicted to Ecstasy. Also Kids lie especially about drugs Also if someone slipped it into her drink she would know it taste awful like chemicals.

Her drink was it alcoholic?

all you can prove is she had taken ecstacy, you cannot prove her friend was the one who slipped it to her. All her friend has to do to stay out of trouble is to deny doing it.

Hospital records and family testimony, prove she took ecstacy, to have someone charged you need to prove they slipped it to your daughter. All you have is your daughters word against the person who you say slipped it to her. Its one persons word against another, most likely nothing will be done

Heck yes do that.You should also get with your daughter

Say now you know why we don't want you to be taking drugs period.

Possible, but it does not seem likely she will be convicted. There is no concrete proof.
