Jalisco child rat‑poison case

Overview

In July 2026, three children in the San Sebastián El Grande area of Tlajomulco, Jalisco, were hospitalized after ingesting rat poison mixed into chocolate milk. Initial reports described the incident as accidental, noting the mother’s lack of awareness of the toxin’s storage and prompting an investigation by state prosecutors and child‑protection agencies.

A week later, authorities arrested a woman identified as Fabiola N on suspicion of deliberately poisoning the three siblings. The children remained in stable condition under state protection while the investigation shifted to alleged attempted parricide, with the suspect placed under the custody of a judge.

By the end of July, prosecutors formally charged Fabiola N with attempted parricide. Evidence presented by the specialized investigation unit linked the rat‑poison‑laden drink to the children. A court ordered two years of preventive imprisonment for the suspect, and the investigation is slated to conclude within five months. The minors have been declared out of danger and continue to be monitored by the state child‑protection agency.
