A St. Joseph father has also been charged after his 2-year-old son consumed Methamphetamine last month.

As we previously reported, the child’s mother 24-year-old Natasha King of St. Joseph was charged last week with a misdemeanor for Endangering the Welfare of a Child.

According to court documents on May, 29 Riley had a container of liquid Methamphetamine laying on a table near where he was seated.  The child allegedly got in possession of the container and drank it.  The child was taken to the hospital six hours later after showing signs of intoxication.  At the hospital the boy tested positive for Meth.
