A Boardman couple, convicted of child endangering after her daughter ate a THC-laced brownie, is going to prison.

Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Judge Scott Krichbaum Wednesday handed down a one-and-a-half-year prison sentence to 21-year-old Shawna McCurdy and 25-year-old Randi Green.

They pleaded guilty earlier to one felony count of child endangering.

According to a report filed by Boardman Police, the child's parents told hospital officials their two-year-old daughter ate a THC-laced brownie while visiting a neighbor in November.

Doctors at Akron Children's Hospital intubated the child who was given medication to control seizures. The child had to be intubated because the medication caused the girl to stop breathing.

According to data from America's Poison Centers,  in 2022 children under 12 constituted 41% of exposures to THC, which is described as a psychoactive substance found in cannabis sativa plants like marijuana and hemp.

Consuming Delta-8 THC leads to events including hallucinations, vomiting, tremors, dizziness, anxiety, confusion, and loss of consciousness, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency.
