Ten Children Hospitalized After Drinking Windshield Wiper Fluid
posted 03/13/09
5:58 pm
The day-care owner, Carolyn Bynum, voluntarily surrendered her state license Friday.
Doctors estimate the children, ages 2 to 7, drank about an ounce of the blue fluid late Thursday afternoon before realizing it tasted wrong. Only one child remains hospitalized in good condition after blood samples showed "measurable levels" of methanol, a highly toxic alcohol that can induce comas and cause blindness.
Child welfare officials interviewed Bynum Friday. Julie Munsell, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Human Services, says Bynum accepted "total responsibility" for the incident.
