Hong Kong police arrested a 41-year-old mother and her husband's aunt after the mother allegedly gave her two children cannabis-infused sweets, resulting in their hospitalization. The incident occurred at around 4pm on Monday, August 3, 2026, at their home in Wang Tak House, Wang Tau Hom Estate.
The children, a 12-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy, fell ill; the girl vomited while the boy briefly lost consciousness. Emergency services promptly transported them to Queen Elizabeth Hospital for treatment.
According to sources, the mother claimed she mistakenly gave the confectionery containing the prohibited drug to her son and daughter, believing they were ordinary sweets. The mother was arrested on suspicion of child abuse, and the aunt was arrested on suspicion of possessing dangerous drugs.
