A 29-year-old Regina woman has been charged after a 21-month-old girl was poisoned with ethanol and an antihistamine.
Jessica Rae Fehr was charged with aggravated assault (endangering the life of the victim) and administering a noxious thing (alcohol and Benadryl).
The Regina Police Service said in a release Friday the investigation was handled by the Regina Children’s Justice Centre, a unit that combines police investigators with child protection workers, child abuse physicians and prosecutors in investigations of physical and sexual abuse of children.
On May 11 at about 7:45 p.m., patrol officers and paramedics responded to a call of a toddler who was not breathing. Officers who arrived at the scene in the 100 block of Broad Street provided medical assistance to the toddler until paramedics took over.
“Officers gathered statements from two adults, who were present in the house during the incident, as well as the child’s parents, who arrived at the house after police and EMS,” the police release said. “At the hospital, investigators learned that the child had acute ethanol poisoning.”
Officers continued to investigate and arrested Fehr on Wednesday. She’s not the child’s mother.
