15-Year-Old Lured Into Dangerous Substance Use Via E-Cigarettes
As reported by News of Bahrain, a troubling case has emerged in the Kingdom where a 15-year-old boy was lured into drug use through an e-cigarette. The boy’s erratic behavior led his mother to take him to Salmaniya Hospital, where it was discovered he had ingested narcotics.
His mother filed a complaint against a 30-year-old who allegedly pressured her son into using a drug-laced e-cigarette
The accused denies giving the minor drugs or encouraging his use, however the boy’s mother found a video on her son’s phone showing the defendant adding drugs to the e-cigarette, and Snapchat messages where the defendant offered hashish along with other substances. The boy also unfortunately tested positive for methamphetamine and other drugs in his system, without having any idea on what he ingested.
The defendant, with a prior drug conviction, faced serious charges
