NH mother charged after her 6-year-old daughter tests positive for cannabinoids and cocaine
Paige Goulet was also charged for tampering with witnesses.
A New Hampshire mother was charged on Monday after her 6-year-old ingested a THC gummy and tested positive for cannabinoids and cocaine.
On Nov. 3, Nashua police received a report from the Division of Child, Youth, and Families that a 6-year-old girl had ingested a THC gummy and was taken to the hospital, where she tested positive for the two illegal drugs.
During the investigation, police discovered the child’s mother, Paige Goulet, 30, of Nashua, told a witness not to cooperate with the police investigation, police say.
Police determined that Goulet neglected her duty to care for her child.
Meredith police arrested Goulet and charged her with tampering with witnesses and endangering the welfare of a child or incompetent, police say.
