JAKARTA - Children who are new born or under two years old, cannot take any medicine. There are strict rules from doctors that every parent must follow.

Dosage and concoction must be under the supervision of a doctor. There are even some parents who adhere to the 'understanding' of refusing to give drugs at all to their underage children.

But that rule does not apply to this 33-year-old mother. This mother even gave medicine for adults to her 1 year old daughter. As a result, death.

Osaka Prefectural Police have arrested a woman on suspicion of giving her one-year-old daughter the wrong dose of medication. The drug is also suspected of being the cause of her daughter's death when she was hospitalized in Izumi City, Osaka Prefecture, last year.

Reporting from Japan Today, Monday, October 25, the unnamed mother is a worker from Takaishi City. She was charged with giving her daughter drugs at the Osaka Women's and Children's Hospital in May 2020, according to Fuji TV.

The child has been hospitalized since February 2020 due to apnea and low oxygen levels in her blood.

Police said the mother allegedly forced her daughter to swallow anti-anxiety medication. The child died not long after taking the drug.

And after that, the autopsy revealed that the medication prescribed to the mother for anxiety disorders was actually in the child's blood.
