A seven-year-old girl began hallucinating after she ‘overdosed’ on travel sickness travel pills during a school trip to the beach.
Chelsie Toms apparently accidentally took seven of the tablets instead of the recommended one on the day out with Mount Street Primary School in Devon, Plymouth.
Mother Wendy Toms, 28, was distraught when she picked her daughter up and found her incoherent.
Terrified: Wendy Toms, pictured left with daughter Chelsie, said she found the seven-year-old incoherent
‘She was hallucinating, talking to the
walls,’ she Ms Toms.
‘She didn’t know who I was and then she was sick in her hands. I
was so worried that I looked through her schoolbag, to find the box of
pills I gave to the staff member with seven missing.’
Hospitalised: Chelsie apparently took seven pills instead of one, thinking they were sweets
Ms Toms said she specifically told that staff
member that Chelsie should be given half a tablet for the outward
journey and half a pill on the return trip.
Chelsie had taken an extra six whole
pills while queuing up to leave school at the end of the day after they had been put back into her schoolbag, claimed Ms Toms.
It appeared she ate them ‘thinking they were sweets’.
Ms Toms took Chelsie to hospital for tests and scans and she was kept in overnight. The girl has been taken out of school for now.
A Devon and Cornwall police spokesman
said they were contacted about the incident and were investigating and referred it on to the Child Protection Service.
The school is now dealing with the matter internally and has confirmed it has put new procedures in place related to non prescription medicines.
Ms Toms said her daughter now needs
counselling after the incident on June 28 because the hallucinations had
left her petrified of her own toys and unable to sleep without taking a
torch to bed.
Headteacher Sandie Roberts said the incident has been fully investigated and more robust procedures put in place.
She said: ‘The school’s highest priority is the safety and welfare of all our pupils. We take all complaints very seriously and the matter has been fully investigated.
‘The police were satisfied that the incident could be handled by the school and a full investigation was carried out and the appropriate action taken.
‘The investigation found the travel sickness tablets were kept by a staff member at all times throughout the day and only returned to the child’s book bag as she was leaving school to meet her mother.
‘Our original policy detailed robust procedures for prescription medication. Since this incident, it has been updated to include equally robust procedures for non-prescription medication to ensure the ongoing safety of our children.’

If she only needed two halves, why did she give her the whole box full?

Blimey, over here we can’t even put a plaster on if a child falls over and cuts their leg open without a phone call to parents first! There is no way a child here would be handed back their medication as this article suggests happened here – medicines have to be kept in the teacher’s possession at all times and handed over to/from the parent or guardian only. In addition (as in cases such as this e.g. non-emergency medication such as travel sickness pills) we have to ask for the required dosage being handed over at the start of the day/trip – the parent is asked to provide the already-prepared dosage (in this case, a halved tablet, each half wrapped separately in foil) then asked to put it in a box or bag with the child’s name and the dosage repeated on a label on there too (the parents have to do all of this, the school won’t accept a child with medication otherwise). Yes, it’s cumbersome, but it’s a system that works. Why did the mum give her so many pills to start with?

Funny tasting ‘sweets’ surely?

One has to ask the question why she was given 7 tablets when she only need one: half for travel out and half the the return journey…

Why did the mother send the whole box full to school?
Surely she could have sent just one tablet in the box
Report abuse
The point of this story is..?

Poor Child, unbelievable that she had 7 pills in her bag when she only needed 1. Mum should not have given 7 and Staff should have been responsible for issue of any medication !
Report abuse
Why send the whole bottle, take out the rest and send her into school with one.

It appears to be a blame game on both sides. Call me too logical: but would it not have been a good idea for the parent to break a pill in half beforehand, place both halves into individual wrappers and give the teacher clear instructions on when to dispense?
Report abuse
So, why did the mother give the teacher more than one tablet, if she needed half a tablet prior to each journey?
