TANGERANG: More than 20 toddlers in the Neglasari district of Tangerang municipality have been poisoned after consuming snacks at a birthday party Monday morning.
Some of the victims were rushed to the nearest public health clinic after suffering from stomach-aches and vomiting, while others were treated in the emergency ward of the Tangerang General Hospital.
Sodikin and Nina, a couple living in the village, celebrated the second birthday of their son, Noval, by inviting all toddlers in the neighborhood to their home.
"All guests were given cake as a snack," Meti, one of the invited mothers said.
But soon after consuming the snack, the toddlers began to have stomach-aches and then vomited.
The police have seized a sample of the snack to investigate. --JP
