Spotsylvania, Virginia: Mom Charged With Murder After Toddler's THC Overdose

"Sol Prendido" for Borderland Beat


A Virginia mother has been charged with murder after her 4-year-old son died from eating a large amount of THC-infused gummies earlier this year.

Doctors told investigators that medical intervention could have prevented the toddler’s death had Dorothy Annette Clements, 30, sought help sooner, WTTG reported.

Tanner Clemens died on May 8, two days after he was found unresponsive.

Clements told police that she called poison control when her son ate half a CBD gummy and was told he’d be fine, WRC reported.

CBD, or cannabidiol, does not contain THC — tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana that makes people high — but toxicology reports showed a high level of THC in the boy’s system. Additionally, the detective investigating said she found an empty THC gummy jar in the home.

An autopsy said toxic levels of THC caused the boy’s death.

Clements was arrested on Thursday and charged with murder and child neglect, WTTG said. She’s being held without bond.

  1. First time I ever read about THC being toxic.
    Then again, usually it's teens and adults using, not some little kid. And certainly not that much.

    1. It can be in extremely extremely high levels, like if an adult ate hundreds of edibles or if a small child ate a few dozen edibles. To reach the levels in that kids autopsy, he would have had to eat dozens and dozens of 10mg edibles. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ate 50+ edibles to get in the thousands of ng of THC per mL of whole blood.

    3. 2:54 How do you know how much was taken? I saw no info anywhere about the dosage other than the fact that it was “high”.

    4. In a kid a high dosage could be potentially fatal not because of thc but because of low doses of oxygen going to the brain. When your "high" your breathing pattern changes.... what do you guys think? Maybe he chocked on his saliva.

    5. The kid overdosed on candy,
      but never knew he was "using"
      THC; the negligence of some addicts is monumental, like the ignorance of some commenters

    8. He probably died from electrolyte abnormalities caused by vomiting. THC itself is very unlikely to be directly toxic. It can cause intense vomiting, ie, "greening out", and that can be deadly especially to small children who are very susceptible to electrolyte abnormalities occurring with vomiting and diarrhea. That's why cholera is so deadly for children, as well.
