Man Says Feeding Bleach To Baby Probably His Dumbest Decision

February 19, 2013 at 3:24 pm by Morbid

OCALA, FL - Carron Washington is facing child abuse charges after feeding his 2-month-old baby bleach because he heard would cure the baby’s congestion.

According to police, the child was rushed to the hospital after her mother called 911 to report her baby had spit up a clear liquid that smelled like bleach.

Police were called by medical staff after they also noticed the baby’s vomit smelled like bleach, along with the baby’s formula.

“You smell the baby bottle and it smells like complete bleach.” the hospital employee tells the 911 dispatcher. “And the parents aren’t giving us a good story about how it got in there.”

When police questioned the child’s father, 20-year-old Carron Washington, they say he broke down crying and admitted he’d mixed less than a cap-full of bleach with less than two ounces of the baby’s formula.

He said that on Saturday night and Sunday morning, the baby was fussy, so at 1 a.m. Sunday, Washington put less than a cap-full of bleach with less than two ounces of the baby’s formula and then fed the child some of the formula.

Not wasn’t trying to hurt his daughter, he was trying to help. You see, a friend of his at school told him it was a cure for congestion, so he went home and derpy derp-a-derped. After ingesting the bleach, his daughter vomited and started to cry.

“I panicked. I immediately called 911, called my parents, called her parents and started crying,” Washington said. ”This would probably be the dumbest decision I ever made in my life, and I regret it 110 percent.”

The fact that he seems to grasp the very basics of percentage yet isn’t sure if his decision to feed bleach to a 2-month-old baby to cure congestion is the dumbest decision he’s ever made, has me a bit intrigued.

What other dumb decisions has Carron made that have him unsure on whether this particular decision was his dumbest, dammit! I have to know this!

Anyway, Carron Washington is facing aggravated child abuse charges and is being held on a $25,000 bond. His daughter is in stable condition and expected to be released from the hospital in two days.

Bleach is for the weak. Drano cures indigestion, bloating, diarrhea, and life’s pains.

See here’s where I have a problem. Raising my kids 35 years ago in the Deep South I heard some of the most insane cure alls you can imagine. Such as a roasted onion rubbed on their chest cures congestion, milk from a momma dog cures ear infections when dripped in the ear. Guess what strange thing I did? TOOK MY BABY TO THE FREAKING DOCTOR!!!!!!! There is no excuse for this moron. Keep him away from ANY BABY FOREVER

The dude called 911 for his baby himself… that alone makes him ALMOST undeserving of being on this site.

WTF Carron??? How devoid of intelligence do you need to be to give bleach to a baby? How in the hell did this mental midget make it to the age of 20?
Evan Oswald

i can see not putting this kid away for life on attempted murder charges………..but he better not be allowed near the baby (he just tried to kill) any time soon

Pretty sure his dumbest decision was to breed -_-
Andyman

I hate it when the parents misspell their kid’s names. Shouldn’t his name be spelled Karen? LMAO.
Andyman

One I heard of recently is putting vicks vap-o-rub on the feet and then putting clean athletic socks over them. I was skeptical this morning but mommy put it on our kid’s feet this morning and had instant relief. Not a joke. Seriously.
wastintime

I have no doubt that some fucking idiot suggested this, and I have no fucking doubt that this man child thought it would work. I would love to say he learned his lesson, but I don’t think most people.do.
JohnQknowitall

Yeah that was pretty stupid, but some people have no common sense and ejaculation doesn’t change that.

“What other dumb decisions has Carron made that have him unsure on

Enquiring minds ……!
Sam

I suppose we should be thankful he didn’t try to snake the plumbing to get rid of the congestion?
Buffettgirl

OMFG! I just read on a news website that this joker is a first year pre-med student… Here’s what Daddy had to say “Caelynn, was born with her esophagus not completely attached to her stomach and has since had complications. He learned about clearing up the airways with bleach solution through a friend at school, the report said.”

Note to self – do not ever seek medical attention anywhere near Ocala, FL…

Geeeesh, Sherlock, ya think?

OMG I think that needs to be written on tshirts and shit.
newstarshipsmell

Wow, that adds a whole ‘nother level of WTF to this story.
Suzy Sears

What illness did your child have? I’ve been told that such treatment is good for leg cramps which makes sense but I’ve also heard of doing that for congestion which is a tad hard to believe.putting stuff on your feet to cure congestion is kind of a stretch. Who knows lol

This really works, in accupressure the pressure points for sinuses is located on the balls of the feet, that has something to do with it.
plainbelliedsneetch

So far we only have his word that he immediately called 911. He’d be pretty motivated to lie to make himself look better.
The write-up says the mother called 911 because she smelled bleach in the baby’s vomit. If that was the way she described it to the dispatcher, he wasn’t admitting to her what he had done. And it sounds like the hospital staff was calling the police because they smelled bleach, not because Washington told them what happened.
bethied

I also read that the friend supposedly used the same remedy” on her own child… don’t quite know what to make of that…
GGMon

So the remedy was bleach? Bleach that YOU SHOULDN’T INGEST BECAUSE IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS type bleach? I wonder how does one think of bleach and think its a good idea to swallow?
xtinaway

it’s probably pronounced kuh-ron lol. i doubt his parents named him karen haha.
Minerva

If in doubt, if you wouldn’t do it or ingest it yourself, don’t give it to your child. Simple.

To be that stupid and still be alive today this man has undoubtedly defied Darwin’s theory.

Actually, the third fastest way to introduce (the 1st being rectally, then orally) anything into the body is through the soles of the feet.

A study was conducted about 20+ years ago on body odors – and what was the fastest method to get the whole body smelly. One group ate garlic, another group applied garlic to the skin on the arms and the third group applied garlic to the soles of the feet. The group that ate garlic, the garlic odor was around the mouth, the skin group garlic odor stayed where it was applied.
Surprisingly, garlic applied to the soles permeated the entire body.

Scientist repeated this with onion, herbs and fragrances with the same results Then it was tested with medications.

I remember this because a lot of college campuses started a new craze on stinking up their roommates or unsuspecting drunken friends.

Or in my case, when I used this method on my soon-to-be abusive ex-husband. Put a huge damper in his active sex life.

Thumbs up for the comments so far.
AssWho?

” unsure on whether this particular decision was his dumbest, dammit!”

Yet…his dumbest decision yet….He is dumb and still kicking, SO…by my count he a at least still has, what ever stupid decisions that hopefully lead to a ironic, sad miserable life until one really stupid decision, rightfully wipes his sorry ass from earth.

“I used this method on my soon-to-be abusive ex-husband. Put a huge damper in his active sex life.”

AWESOME. *adds to list of revenge ideas*

Don’t have baby unless you’re responsible enough for it! Goddamn, are most people bloody buffoons? Maybe he should’ve have tried the bleach on himself first; once his insides started to burn, he’d realize that it may not be a great idea to feed it to the baby. Dodo.
EveryVillainIsLemons

If he’s that illiterate, he needs to find a new major. After all, it says “HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED” in great big fucking letters on every single bottle of bleach that I have ever bought.

Old wives tales & cures usually prove ineffective. Before my grandfather died in 2011, his sisters and family thought the best cure for his liver cancer was the bible and prayer. Of course, I’ve already written why that was ineffective.
EveryVillainIsLemons

Yeah, that’s a folk remedy that actually works. I actually learned it from my daughter’s pediatrician years ago.
Sam

I love how stand-up comedian Dara O’Briain puts it (paraphrasing):
Sure, there was a time when everybody used these so-called remedies. Then we tested them, and the stuff that actually worked became ‘medicine’.
G.I.R.L.

Okay wasn’t expecting that. Almost choked on my frickin cheese burger. Lol

Fuck this dude. I smell munchausen by proxy,

what a fucking idiot.
Andyman

I was surprised. When I came home from work yesterday the little one was almost completely better. And in the morning she couldn’t cough productively enough to do any good. 8 hours later she was almost cured. Amazing.

Free thinkers for the win.

Not to defend him or what he did but bleach can be ingested. It’s how they recommend to disinfect contaminated water. Although the dose is a heck of a lot lower then 1 cap to 2oz. Recommended dose is only 1 drop (0.05ml) bleach per liter of water. You’re also supposed to leave it sit for at least 30 minutes preferably longer. As for using it for a decongestant or anything along those lines..never heard of those myths.
Buffettgirl

Right??? I’m terrified of what’s graduating from medical school if this is an example of what gets let IN to medical school. No doctors under 45 for me thanks!
Lena60

I bet he will top this dumb decision one day

yeah of course. first rule of Dreamin’ Demon, don’t believe those featured on Dreamin’ Demon.

Hon, I got a shit load of experience and am more than happy to share. I was the psycho bitch from hell.

Flipped my lid when I came home and discovered he had sex in my bed, and his women were wearing my clothes. You know what it’s like to go to bed, and place your hand under the pillow and feel slimy rubbery stuff? Douche hid used rubbers under my pillow, under the mattress, in my clothes, in my stuff.

Here’s what I did. Take a rag, place in the bottom of a cat litter pan. Let the cat do it’s thing. The longer you keep the rag in the pan the more it’s saturated with pee. At the end of a week or so, take the pee rag and wipe it in the bottom of his shoes. Get it good and coated.

Ta-dah!!!! No more women, no more rubbers!

Here’s another one: super glue all the zippers on his pants.

Washed his jeans in boiling water, dried on high heat. Repeat until you’re no longer angry.

LMAO watching him jump up and down trying to stuff his junk into jeans 2 sizes too small AND couldn’t figure out why his zipper wouldn’t work.

If he’s that stupid, there’s no way in hell that he’ll make it through medical school unless he has lots of money.
Ric

Can’t fix stupid. This is far beyond stupid. Just thinking he is 20 as I am 21 and all I can say right now to myself is “Bleach!?!??” What the hell man!” I guess he is just too naive and will believe anything on the spot. This should be common sense though. It should get to your head automatically that bleach is a big no for the body.
Tundratot

Drug dealers are not med students.
Mickelodian

There’s no accounting for people that hear something, then knowing they aren’t the brightest in the world still volunteer to try put anything they hear into practice….

Had he never heard of ‘looking up something you aren’t sure of’? Even so how stupid do you have to be that you could be unsure of the medical efficacy of bleach? I mean its bleach… hence has the words ‘Keep away from children’ on the bloody bottle!

At the very least people like this should be forced to have a go at swallowing the bleach themselves…
