A mother has issued a warning to parents after her 13-year-old twin daughters were hospitalized following an incident involving a drug-laced vape in Hull, East Yorkshire. Kay Fores said her daughters, Scarlett and Olivia Bywood, were given an e-cigarette that had been spiked with MDMA and the synthetic cannabinoid known as spice, leaving them unconscious and in critical condition.

The incident occurred on April 29, when the twins reportedly met some acquaintances from "the other side of town" in a local park. According to Kay, the girls believed the vape was normal and tried it, but within ten minutes both became unresponsive. Their friends fled the scene, leaving the twins unattended.

A next-door neighbor spotted the girls in distress and called an ambulance, subsequently alerting Kay’s sister. Paramedics quickly transported Scarlett and Olivia to Hull Royal Infirmary, where they were admitted unconscious and placed on IV drips. Kay said it took approximately six hours for them to regain consciousness. Doctors confirmed the presence of MDMA and spice in their blood through testing.

Reflecting on the ordeal, Kay described the scene as "devastating" and recounted that one daughter exhibited foaming at the mouth while the other sustained facial injuries, including a cut on the head and a black eye. She expressed shock that the children, who had no prior knowledge of the contents of the vape, were left unattended by their peers.

“The girls can’t remember anything about what happened,” Kay said, adding that the trauma of the event had left them shaken. She stressed the severity of the situation, emphasizing that if the girls had not been found when they were, the outcome could have been fatal.

Kay plans to report the incident to police and hopes her experience serves as a cautionary message. She urged other parents to warn their children against accepting or trying unfamiliar vaping devices, highlighting the potential dangers involved. “They just thought it was a normal vape. If nobody got to them, they would have died,” she said.

The mother concluded by saying she doubts her daughters will vape again and called on young people to exercise caution. She warned, “Don’t touch anybody’s vape at all. Because the next person could be dead.”
