A mum has issued a warning to parents after her twin daughters, aged 13, were left unconscious in a park after being handed a vape spiked with MDMA and spice
A mother has said her twin daughters were left “foaming at the mouth” and nearly died after other teenagers gave them a vape laced with MDMA and spice in what she calls a “sick prank”.
Kay Fores was midway through her shift on April 29 when she received a panicked call from her sister, telling her that both daughters had been found unconscious in their local park. Twins Scarlett and Olivia Bywood, 13, reportedly met up with another group of teens at the park, where they were given what they thought was a regular vape.
Kay stated the 13-year-olds collapsed within just 10 minutes, with Scarlett even foaming at the mouth, while their companions allegedly ran away from the scene. The 37-year-old said her next-door neighbour saw the distressed teenagers and called for an ambulance, before alerting Kay and her sister.
The mother-of-two was left “devastated” upon arriving at Hull Royal Infirmary to find both daughters unconscious and hooked up to an IV drip. Kay said it took around six hours for the girls to regain consciousness, with doctors conducting blood tests that confirmed they had been spiked with MDMA and spice.
The staff at the hospital said her daughters would not have survived if they hadn’t been found in time. The twins were discharged in the early hours of the following morning, suffering only minor injuries from their fall, reports the Mirror.
Kay, from Hull, East Yorkshire, said: “These people from the other side of town met them at the park and gave them the vape. I had been at work and the next minute I was getting a phone call that my kids had overdosed.
“I went to the park but they had been taken by an ambulance. One got her head cut, the other has a black eye. If they hadn’t been found at the park, they would be dead. They didn’t know anything about these vapes, they were just given them and gave it a go.
“They can’t remember anything. They blacked out. One of them was foaming at the mouth. My next-door neighbour went to the park and she was crying because she saw the state of them. She rang my sister and my sister rang me. By that time, they were already in the ambulance.
“They were still out of it when I got there. They could have died. They’ve been on drips. I just want other parents to know. They kept checking their blood, it [the vape] was spiked with MDMA and spice. The girls were out for around six hours.”
Kay is now calling on other parents to recognise the dangers linked to vaping. The heartbroken mum reckons the girls are unlikely to ever touch a vape again after the frightening experience.
Kay said: “They were released from hospital this morning. They’re fine now. They can’t remember anything, they are quite shocked.
“They just thought it was a normal vape. Ten minutes later this happened. If nobody got to them, they would have died. I don’t think they will vape again. It was absolutely devastating. I want other kids to realise not to touch anybody’s vape at all. Because the next person could be dead.”
Kay has turned to social media to recount her daughters’ terrifying experience, where users were quick to brand it a “sick” prank. The mother has vowed to report the incident to the police to stop the same thing from happening to other children.
