A concerned mom has shared an unsettling video of her daughter writhing on a hospital bed after her drink was allegedly spiked on her very first night out since turning 18.
Millie Taplin, from England, appeared "frozen" and "possessed" for about four hours. She was unable to walk or talk soon after consuming the drink that she and her mother believe was intentionally spiked.
Intended as a stark warning to others, her mother Claire posted a disturbing video of her daughter in hospital, in which the teenager, who is under the influence of drugs, continuously bends her fingers so that they resemble claws and clenches her jaw in an unusual manner.
Warning: Some viewers may find this video distressingMillie and her friends were at a nightclub in her hometown of Southend-on-Sea when a man who was with some people she knew, told her to "try" a vodka and lemonade beverage.
Soon after trying the drink, she was rushed to the emergency room where doctors decided she was most likely given two drugs - "one to paralyze and one to knock her out", Claire revealed in an interview with The Mirror.
It was the only beverage she hadn't bought herself that night and she started feeling sick just a few minutes after trying it.
Millie told the paper: "I had a couple of sips of the drink and went to the smoking area. I came back and felt like I'd drunk too much, and then I went outside to be sick."
Soon enough, she was unable to walk or talk, temporarily losing control of her legs and hands.
Her mom added of the harrowing video: "As disturbing as it is, if that saves one girl, just one, then it’s worth sharing. Nothing can prepare you to see that. It’s just absolutely horrendous. She looked possessed.
"I was numb. I was looking at her and thought, 'what the hell have they given her', because I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. She was completely frozen, her hands were like claws."
"The thing that destroyed me was she knew everything that was going on but she was frozen," she added.
