Louisiana girl, 4, died 'after granny forced her to drink half a bottle of WHISKEY while mom watched' leaving youngster eight times over adult limit: Both women now charged with first-degree murder

A Louisiana mother and grandmother were charged with murder on Friday after they forced a four-year-old girl to drink half a bottle of whiskey, as punishment for taking a sip.

Roxanne Record, 53, and her daughter Kadjah Record, 28, were each booked into the East Baton Rouge parish prison following the death of Kadjah's daughter China from acute alcohol poisoning.

The little girl had a blood alcohol level of .068 more than eight times the .08 legal limit for people over 21 to drive when she died.

Police were called to the home in the Windsor Place area of Baton Rouge on Thursday morning, to reports of an unresponsive child.

On arriving at the home, on Wallis Street and Harco Drive, they were told by China's siblings that the grandmother was angry because the little girl had taken a sip of the Canadian Mist whiskey, left on the counter.

As a punishment, the child was told to kneel on the floor and finish off the remaining half of the bottle.

Kadjah Record watched as her daughter was forced to drink the liquor, which gave her a blood alcohol content of .680.

Drivers in the state of Louisiana are considered legally drunk when their BAC is .08 or more.

“First degree murder implies intent to kill.”

Making a 4 year old drink that much alcohol is first degree murder in my book unless one tries to make the argument these people were too ignorant and/or stupid to know that to be the case.

It depends on the jury. If they get enough ignorant people on the jury perhaps they get off on the 1st degree charge. The prosecution has much to consider here.

Nitpicking: I wish news stories about alcohol did not always compare blood alcohol levels to a legal limit. The legal limit is for driving a vehicle. It only matters when you get pulled over. Any other time it is basically meaningless.

Alcohol is a poison. The amount of alcohol that can be survived depends on how quickly your liver can make enzymes to break alcohol down. It is different for everyone. Children don’t make alcohol enzymes nearly as fast as adults and heavy drinkers make them much faster than average normal people.

Also NO FATHER in the house.

And yet, surprisingly they have the same last name.

How in the world did they get a 4yo to drink half a bottle of Whiskey? What size bottle was it? Most kids would fight any attempt to drink it. It’s harsh. Burns going down, tastes nasty..how did they get that baby to drink half a bottle of any size???

Perhaps I’ll be in the minority here, but I think this a tragic incident. Those women will likely never forgive themselves.

Oh horse puckey! The type of people who have enough of a conscience to feel such remorse would never have forced that child to drink a half bottle of whiskey. It's long past time that we as a society stop being soft on criminals of every type.

honestly.. I think they had the right intentions but were too stupid to know that people can die of alcohol poisoning. Many people don’t know you can die of water poisoning also.

They made her kneel down, pushed her head back and basically poured it down her throat. The kneel down part is in the article. The rest is implied.

Pouring a half bottle of whiskey down a 4-year-old's throat qualifies as "right intentions" in your world? Wow!

mmmmm . . .

I think you might want to consider what kind of monsters they are before attributing to them the emotions that say a normal person would be expected to have. Its a corollary to the saying that you should not expect rational responses from irrational people.

no, I was thinking more on the lines of what someone earlier in the thread mentioned about being made to smoke the whole cigarette to teach them a lesson.

1st degree murder requires intent, I just don’t see it here, I see a couple of low IQ’s who were trying to teach a lesson the old fashioned way and were too stupid too know what might happen.

“Those women will likely never forgive themselves.”

If so, then they should concoct a murderer-suicide pact. Now. They’re disgusting pigs.

I think a lot of people don’t realize how alcohol is poison. (And I drink a half bottle of wine nightly). My dad told me a story of a guy he knew who when younger who sat at a bar and quietly just drank and drank and drank and then. . .simply died. Also the danger of “21 shots on the 21st birthday”—I think that happens.

I've never heard of the "21 shots on the 21st birthday" celebration of introduction to adult alcohol consumption. Families that consume alcohol moderately and responsibly (e.g. wine with dinner) tend to teach the same thing to their kids, so when the kids grow up they don't go wild when they hit their majority.

There are health classes in high schools—the danger of death from drinking should be taught.

Good idea, like driver education. But there are a lot of things they don't teach and should be teaching.
