OAKLAND \u2014 A local man has been charged with child abuse after his son apparently ingested a chocolate bar that was loaded with hallucinogenic mushrooms, according to court records.<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old Oakland resident called 911 on July 17 to report that his 5-year-old son appeared to be tripping on mushrooms, authorities said. The boy was treated at a hospital and released. Police say the boy appeared to have eaten one square from the candy bar.<\/p>\n
The man told police he kept his psilocybin chocolate in a cupboard and that the boy would have had to have used a stepping stool to access it. He said he wasn\u2019t sure when the boy consumed the bar, which he bought at a local smoke shop, authorities said.<\/p>\n
The man was released from jail at a July 22 court appearance. He has been charged with felony child abuse. As part of a condition of his release, a judge ordered him to take 12 parenting classes, records show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OAKLAND \u2014 A local man has been charged with child abuse after his son apparently ingested a chocolate…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":418896,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[861,166264,143,27914,863,145,166265,144],"class_list":["post-418895","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-oakland","tag-bay-area-crime","tag-kid-on-mushrooms","tag-oakland","tag-oakland-child-abuse","tag-oakland-crime","tag-oakland-headlines","tag-oakland-mushrooms","tag-oakland-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418895","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=418895"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/418895\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/418896"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=418895"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=418895"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=418895"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
