Mother of child who ate LSD-laced candy appears in court
11:00 AM CDT on Wednesday, August 30, 2006
KVUE News
The mother of a 3-year-old who ate LSD-laced candy appeared in a Williamson County courtroom Wednesday morning facing criminal charges.
Ashli Freas had a pre-trial hearing but it was reset for September 27.
Her son ate the drug-laced candy in June while Freas was visiting friends.
The boy's great-grandmother has temporary custody.
Freas' lawyer says she's passing mandated drug tests that would allow her to see her son.
She is allowed to talk to her son on the phone an hour a week.

Is there no info on how the child is doing? It seems like the main focus of all of these is how the mother is irresponsible. It would be nice to know the condition of the child mentally and physically? Any changes?
It WAS an accident. I'm sure the mother is way more upset about it than you people saying how irresponsible she is. I bet she's having trouble living with that.
That could easily happen to any of you who are "responsible" enough. How would you feel? Would you be happy to never see your child again.

this constantly crosses my mind with my own daughter when i read stories like this. if you got kids, lock that stash up.. it's even more important once they get older and know what the stuff is

Sorry Phishe, but most people (at least judicial people) aren't going to care about the children, or at least in a news-worthy sense. The "irresponsible" mother draws way more attention.
Also, yes, this was an accident. Personally, I feel they are blowing this way out of proportion. I assume the child is alright and will be fine; this should not affect (physically) its health throughout its life. Now this child will grow up without a mother and probably not understand the situation its in.

A child that young probably wont even remember the experience by the time it is able to write well.
Also, i heard somewhere that infants experience life the way we do on psychedelics. Is this true?

This seems to be more about a crusade against parents who use drugs than about the kid's safety. If he got a hold of some xanax or something of that nature which accepted and frequently in houses across america, I doubt the response would be this severe. I agree no matter what, I agree that depriving this kid of his mother seems like the worst side effect of all of this. 1 hour a week on the phone..

Thought i would chime in here...my first post ever, after all this time registered. I am a parent, and i am ALWAYS worried that my daughter will get into something. Everything is out of reach, put up high, my stash is locked in a safe, yet i still double check everything. BUT one day i turn the corner to see half a gelcap sticking out of my daughter's mouth. I immediately recognized the pill as my wife's phendimetrazine, called poison control, and rushed to the hospital (which by the way, not an eyebrow was lifted, if it had been something illegal im sure i would be in the same situation as what is going on in this post). The point i am trying to make is that you can be super careful yet shit will still happen on accident. We have no idea where the pill came from because we are always extremely careful, we do not even leave tylenol out on the counter to "take in a minute". We go straight from bottle to mouth. ACCIDENTS HAPPEN. And to all those saying "if the parents let them drink bleach blah blah they should be sent to jail", they are simply ignorant to the problems of parenting. I would like to see those people outsmart a kid everyday, 24/7. No one is perfect. Now that mother should'nt have taken her kid to a party, but i am sure she is suffering a hell of a lot right now. My sympathies.

Well as far as taking the kid to the party is concerned it depends on what kind of party. I have a large group of friends about my age, with childred of about the same age. We get together frequently for a BBQ, the kids play together and we all watch them. When the children go to sleep we break out the beer. Its a family party, they have fun with their friends and so do we.
My house is child proofed to suit MY children. Most parents can put things up high to keep them out of reach. Not me, my son could climb up the back of our couch 2 days after he started crawling. There is nothing in my house he can't climb, i've tried, he just can't be stopped that way. It took several types of child locks to find one my other son couldn't crack, I'm willing to bet there are thousands of children who could open those locks.
The point is that even though I keep my home as safe as posible for my children, doesn't mean that another child couldn't walk in and all these safty precausions would be no more the speed bumps to them. Its just not possible to have a completly safe envirement for every child. Children are people, with their own skills, talents, tricks and quirks.
So lets take a look at two people here. Ephoxe puts things up high to keep them outa reach of the kids. This would be effective ag ainst my youngest son, my oldest would have access to everything you've child proofed that way in seconds. So if I braught my child to your house....see where i'm going with this.

well, i cant really come to a definate conclusion about this situation as i wasnt there and im not sure how he got a hold of the acid. although the parents should not of had the lsd out of their "safe place." Maybe if the kid was digging through the drawer... and found some lsd sweet tarts under some clothes or something, that should be treated with less consequence. although some of you see this as something to be leniant on, you should also consider the welfare of the kid and who's at fault. this incident could have been very easily prevented if the parents had kept the lsd safely hidden. i believe that the great grandma should take custody of the kid for a period of time. in the period of time, the child should be observed for anything wrong by good psychiatrists. you've gotta remember, ages 1-4 are the most important developing ages for the childs behavior and mind.
whether he can remember it or not, it could still effect him. acid is a very strong drug. 9 hits is a a very very strong dose for a full sized adult male. now, think about a 3 year old. his welfare should not be taken lightly in this period of time. i would keep my eye on that kid growing up, because i highly doubt this kid will turn out normal. maybe he'll become a prophet or some kind of a prodigy of man kind able to do anything. maybe even a psychic. that shit'd be awesome.
anyhow, im not sure about the parents. i think that after giving your child acid and knowing how stupid. the child should definatley be checked out and maybe some kind of a large fine. which would go to kids with out homes and ciggarette companies.

Its very possible the parents knew nothing of the LSD. They were at someone elses house.
Now if the parents were aware that it was one of those kinds of parties I might raise the fact that they should have most certainly not left their child inside by himself. And while a lapse of judgement is no excuse for this to happen, I don't condone taking a child away from his mother only to speak to her for one hour on the phone a week.
I do feel the biggest crime is the manner in which the judicial system has painted this woman out to be a monster. As has been noted, kids are not like pets, you can't put a gate up and say no. Kids are ridiculously smart and sneaky.
Oly way to be fool proof is if you put them in childlock bubbles...which im pretty sure don't exist

I'll tell you why she took her three year old son to a party with LSD, because she is an young irresponsible parent. Being an adult common sense should tell you that if there's gonna be drugs at a party you just don't bring your little kid. "Oh it looked like candy, it could happen to anybody..." well you just don't let your kid go wondering around a party while your outside and if you don't know they have LSD at the party you obviously don't know whose at the party which means YOU DON'T HAVE ANY BUSINESS BRINGING YOUR LITTLE THREE YEAR OLD UNSUPERVISED AT A PARTY!!!, for all she knew there could have been pedophiles at that party or something God forbid that little boy got abducted. I have only the slightest sympathy for the parents, that was very poor judgment.

You don't know for a fact that this sort of thing was rampant at this particular gathering. Lets say she can't afford a baby sitter and had taken her son to this type of social outing before with no ill consequences. I have a friend who just had a baby, him and his girlfriend take the kid everywhere. I mean there is more control and constant supervision because the child is an infant. I just feel like we know little enough of the circumstances that such judgements are little harsh and self-rightous. What if every other moment the kid was being closly superivised and the mother wanted to go smoke a cig or burn one and didn't want her son picking up the secondhand. Some burnout absentmindedly left his shit out and then in a flash everyone concerned has had their lives changed forever. Just because it was there doesn't meant that they were at an acid party or that it was a mother taking her kid to a scene out of Fear and Loathing. Bottom line bad things happen. You don't know the full spectrum of the events that transpired and for that part neither do I. You could be right. It could be some ditsy druged up idiot who was being entirely irresponsible and paid a very dear price for it.

I agree that it could very well be a situation in which the mother had no clue that anyone at the party would have acid. I've been to private parties where a few people had stuff on them that they didn't readily advertise to the rest of the crowd. For the most part people were there to eat BBQ are drink a few beers while talking to each other out in the back yard. Never-the-less, drugs were present and some of it could very easilly have been lost on the ground, or fell out in a chair, where it would be easy for a child to get their hands on it.
I try to be careful and mindful of what is in my possession at all times but I still have lost drugs occasionally. It happens. When it does, I try my best to find what is lost but I haven't always been successful.
