4-Year Old Girl Comes To School Drunk, Sent to Hospital

A 4-year old girl who showed up to preschool drunk was taken to the hospital Wednesday.

A teacher saw the 4-year-old girl fall and said she was acting strangely while at Andrew Johnson Elementary School in The Village, OK, a suburb of Oklahoma City.

When she spoke to the girl, the teacher said she could smell alcohol on the child's breath.

The girl was taken to the hospital where she was in good condition. Upon her release, she will be turned over to DHS.

This is the second case in a week of a toddler that was hospitalized after getting drunk. A 3-year old girl was sent to Children's Hospital in Cincinnati with serious injuries and a blood-alcohol level of 0.15, nearly twice the legal limit for adults.

The girl suffered a small amount of bleeding on her brain, eye damage consistent with being shaken, neck and shoulder injuries, two broken bones in her left arm, bruises all over her body.
