Which word describes him best….being dumb or being stupid…or just being idiotic?
A 20-year-old father, Carron Washington has been arrested for allegedly
feeding his to-year-old son with bleach – seriously, bleach?! Carron defended
his action saying he heard that bleach could help with the baby’s congestion.
According to a report from the Ocala Police Department signed by Sgt.
Michael Summer, the child’s mother went into the child’s room after she heard
her crying, and the child spit up a clear liquid that smelled like bleach. She
called 911, and the child was taken to the hospital. A hospital employee called
police.
