Vodka-drunk! Children in intensive care
Cologne --
They are still children, minors under the law - and they were drinking vodka, went on strike until their bodies - ICU!
Now the police are still searching a Cologne newspaper stand owner, who is said to have sold the friends Dominik, Marcel (both 14) and Jim (13) alcohol. No Short for Short.
Under this slogan for the city police and business people to advertise, so Pänz can not buy alcohol. But unfortunately, not all long stick to it.
Marcel, Dominic and Jim (13) walked into a kiosk at the Berlin Street. "We have pooled our money and sought us out of a bottle of vodka, Gorbachev for 12 euros. The man has not asked for our age still require our identity, "says Jim.
In a side street, they opened the bottle and everyone tried a sip. "I thought it was disgusting and I no longer drink," says Marcel. He watched as his two friends shared the bottle. When she was completely empty, and Jim Dominik stumbled drunk through the area.
Due to the high-proof vodka, the children did not feel the icy cold and supercooled to such an extent that they had later in the hospital only a body temperature of 35 degrees. In conjunction with the alcohol was briefly even life-threatening for the children.
Marcel alone ran home, but Jim broke unconscious together on the way home. His mother, Selma (56): "He was at Children's Hospital Amsterdam street in a coma, had 1.7 per thousand. We were concerned that he did not survive. "Dominik came into the hospital after Schlebusch, he also ended up in intensive care - with 1.9 per thousand. The parents immediately refunded criminal complaint for grievous bodily harm and breach of Minors Act.
Compared with the parents and the police, the kiosk owners, however, denied having sold the vodka to the children. They had the bottle intended to be bought by an adult, so his version. Is she credible? Among the Pänz Dünnwald in the kiosk is considered to be a supply station, where you get "everything". And confirms the 12-year-old Leo (12) to the reporter: "There I often buy cigarettes." The parents are now demanding that the owner gets his license revoked.
