Four Arrested After Florida Toddler Exposed to Meth in Sippy Cup, Police Say

Investigators report delayed care after the overdose scare, with meth residue found in the home.

Overview

  • The 1-year-old became sick on Feb. 24 in Callahan after drinking from a sippy cup that police say contained a hidden bag of methamphetamine.
  • Judith Addison, 79, Hayden Simmons, 21, Damien Windham, 21, and Erica Foley, 45, were charged with child neglect causing serious bodily injury, and Foley also faces a paraphernalia charge.
  • Authorities say no one in the home called 911 that night, and the child was taken to a local fire station the next day before being rushed to a hospital for a possible overdose.
  • The Nassau County Sheriff’s Office says the child is recovering as investigators continue their case, and it remains unclear who placed the drugs in the cup.
  • All four are being held at the Nassau County Jail with bonds set, and Addison’s smiling booking photo has drawn public attention online.
