Shelvin Marquise Fairman, 31, is facing three child neglect charges in connection with the incident.

Investigators with the Plantation Police Department said Fairman’s daughter attends a summer camp at Mirror Lake Elementary School, located at 1200 NW 72nd Ave., and shared the gummies ― unaware that they contained THC ― with three friends, aged 4, 5 and 9.

According to an arrest report, medics took the three children to hospitals “for a multitude of symptoms.”

Police said the girl got the gummies from an “easily accessible” bedroom fridge. They said the girl’s mother told police that the gummies belonged to Fairman.

Authorities said the girl’s mother told investigators that she thought all the gummies had been “thrown out or hidden away.”

“Shelvin’s actions, or lack thereof, were solely responsible for this chain of events,” the report states. “The parents of these young children advised that they were all very disturbed that THC edible gummies had been provided to their children at a summer camp and would like to seek prosecution.”

Records show that Fairman was being held in the Broward Main Jail on a $10,500 bond as of Friday afternoon.
