A St. Joseph mother has been charged after her 2-year-old allegedly consumed Methamphetamine last week.

24-year-old Natasha King of St. Joseph has been charged in Buchanan County with a Misdemeanor for 2nd Degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child.

According to court documents on Friday, May 29 a witness saw King allow her 2-year-old to consume liquid Methamphetamine which was near where she was standing by failing to watch the child’s movements.  The incident was reported to have taken place in the 2200 block of N. 3rd St. The child was taken to the hospital six hours later after King allegedly said the child was acting strangely.  The child ended up testing positively for Meth.
