Better check your tots Shirley Temples, margaritas and apple juices. Sometimes they pack a real punch:

ANTIOCH, Calif. — An executive with the Applebee’s restaurant chain said its restaurants won’t be keeping juices and margarita mixes in similar looking containers any more after a toddler was accidentally served a margarita at one of its locations.

Police said 2-year-old Julian Mayorga was served an alcoholic beverage in a covered, plastic sippy cup last Monday night at the Applebee’s franchise in Antioch.

The boy’s mother, Kim Mayorga, said she noticed Julian making funny faces and pushing away his cup. She had ordered apple juice for the child, but when she opened the lid, she was hit by the smell of tequila and Triple Sec.

The toddler grew drowsy and started vomiting a few hours later and was rushed to the hospital. Read the rest…

Okay, how completely messed up is this??

From the La Crosse Tribune:

Several children allegedly given alcohol in case of drunk toddler
By The Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Several children were drinking and some were reportedly smoking marijuana in the house where a 3-year-old girl was found drunk, according to court documents.

The mothers of the children temporarily lost custody of their children Friday after the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office filed child protection petitions to remove the children from their care.

The women, sisters Diane D. Woods, 31, and Robin R. Keys, 32, refused to comment on the case and will have trials on the petitions in December. They each have six children.

According to the petitions, police went to a home on Fremont Avenue N. on Monday and found the toddler unresponsive, “fresh vomit all over the house” and drunken adults yelling at each other.

But, wait! Think you can’t be any more sick to your stomach after that? It gets even better…

Woods’ 5-year-old daughter told authorities that she and three cousins, two of whom are 4 and 6, were also given and drank alcohol. Keys also reportedly saw three children smoking marijuana and sent them upstairs, according to the documents.

The 3-year-old who was found unresponsive, who had a blood-alcohol content of 0.12 percent, was taken to Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis and recovered. Minnesota considers drivers drunk when their blood alcohol level is 0.08 percent.
