A Florida father confessed to police to putting acid used to make methamphetamine inside his 3-year-old's sippy cup, according to reports.

The toddler suffered severe burns to his mouth, face, neck and chest area after drinking from the cup on Wednesday, the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Department told Channel 3 News.

A 1-year-old child was also seriously injured.

"Long term effects, the most severe would be gastric ulcers that can cause structural problems with the way the esophagus works," an unnamed doctor told the news station. "Any type of toxic burn can cause scar tissue and cause problems from now on."

The children's parents Amber Nicole Cooley, 24, and Kyle Joseph Cooley, 27, both of Milton, Fla. were arrested and charged with child neglect with great bodily harm and other charges related to the manufacture of meth, the Pensacola News Journal reported.

In court on Friday, Amber Cooley broke into tears saying she didn't know the acid was in her home.

The couple is being held on $1 million bond.
