Singaporean couple arrested after exposing toddler, seven-month-old baby to drugs

The children have been placed under the care of their next of kin, CNB said, adding that arrangements were made to ensure their welfare.

Investigations into the suspects’ drug activities are ongoing.

Superintendent Xanthus Tong, deputy commanding officer of the enforcement operation, said: “Drug abuse is not victimless. Its harms are far-reaching, affecting not just drug abusers themselves, but also their families and loved ones, including young children.”

He added that CNB will take firm action against those who expose children to drugs, and urged parents to keep their children away from drugs and their related harms.

Those aged 21 and above who expose controlled drugs or drug paraphernalia to a child, or permit or fail to take reasonable steps to prevent a young person from consuming controlled drugs, face prosecution. – The Straits Times/ANN
