RAMAPO, N.Y. -- A 10-year-old boy in Rockland County has been sent to the emergency room after eating cannabis-infused candy.

The incident occurred Sunday night when the child's father let the boy sit alone in the family's car, where the child found a package of "pink lemonade belts" -- sour gummies laced with medical marijuana.

The Ramapo boy ate some of the candy and was taken to a hospital in Suffern where he was treated and released, police said.

"The child saw candy and did what most children would have done," Ramapo Police Lt. Robert Lancia said, according to The Journal News. "He ate some."

The boy's father, Ephraim Zagelbaum, 37, of Spring Valley, was arrested on charges of endangering the welfare of a child.

Additional possession charges are possible pending testing and weighing of the candy, police told WTVD-TV.

It wasn't clear if the father had a lawyer.
