Melle says Addi picked up a container on the road and started playing with what she thought was white glitter.

Addi put some in her mouth and started spitting and not acting like herself.

Her parents rushed Addi to the hospital where they were told she had ingested crystal meth.

Police are investigating.

Melle told CTV Regina that she, her husband and her in-laws were standing on the campground road while their two children played close by. After Addi started spitting, the family found a bottle with a profanity on the lid and a white substance inside.

“It doesn’t matter how many times you tell them not to put it in their mouth,” Melle said in an interview with CTV. “When they’re three or four years old, they’re kids, and they’re just going to do it.”
