A south Alabama family is hoping for answers after picking up their 4-year-old daughter from school with a blood alcohol content level near .300.

Albert Singleton told AL.com that when he and his wife, Mary Singleton, arrived to pick their daughter up from school on April 28 she was carried out to them.

Albert said the school had no answers as to what was wrong with their daughter but he recalled how his daughter was slipping into unconsciousness and she was “limp like a noodle.”

“So, my wife was handling everything, and they was telling her that [the child] had been in the nurse’s office, and they didn’t know what was wrong with her, but she couldn’t walk, she couldn’t stand,” Albert said.

“She was getting deeper and deeper into whatever was going on and shortly after that they told us to proceed to the closest emergency room with her.”

After taking the child to an emergency room Albert said she was transferred to the ICU at Children’s and Women’s Hospital in Mobile.

After several tests it was determined she had a blood alcohol content level of .286 due to ingesting ethanol in her system.

The child was close to a .300 diagnosis which can potentially lead to life-threatening issues.

Albert said he and Mary still have no answers as to how their daughter obtained ethanol and ingested so much.

Albert said his daughter was unresponsive from about 3 p.m., after picking her up from school, until about 3 a.m. that morning.

Singleton said this occurred at Collins Rhodes Elementary School in Prichard.

AL.com messaged the Mobile County Public School System but have not received a response regarding the incident.

The child was released from the hospital on April 30 and has been progressing slowly, according to Albert.

Albert said he and his wife will not be sending their daughter back to the school the remainder of the school year.

The incident is being investigated by the Prichard Police Department, Mobile County Sheriff’s Office and Mobile County District Attorney’s office, Albert said.

AL.com left a with the Prichard Police Department seeking comment.

Although their daughter is recovering Albert said the entire ordeal has been completely “exhausting” for the family.

“The whole ordeal has been exhausting,“ Albert said.

“Because we’ve never had any problems like that at that school and I personally dropped my daughter off and see her walk in with good spirits and good health. Then, when we return to get her and she’s in a state of close to death, that’s an uneasy feeling.”
