20-month old dies after ingesting chemicals

A pair of teenaged parents are in jail facing murder charges after their infant son dies from drinking chemicals used to make meth.

It was an alarming death of a 20-month old boy.

"It's so tragic," says neighbor Mary Burke.

The child died after autopsy reports show he ingested chemicals used in making methamphetamine at their Boston Hill Road home in Wayne County.

The child's 19-year old father Bryan Daniels and 14-year old mother are now in jail, facing murder and manufacturing methamphetamine charges.

Upon investigation, 4 others were also arrested for manufacturing meth, including 26-year old Danny Anderson, 24-year old James Hunt, 21-year old Alisha Dicken, and 24-year old Wesley Bell.
