A couple is in jail after allegedly giving their toddler a mixed drink and giving the boy alcohol poisoning.
Cobb County, Georgia, authorities say the boy's blood alcohol level was 0.29 when he was taken to the hospital, more than three times the legal limit for drivers in that state.
The unidentified boy's mother, Jasmin Briana Moore, of Mableton, and William Chester Hickson, of Atlanta, were arrested and each charged with cruelty to children in the first degree.
