Coma girl, 5, poisoned by 'date-rape drug' in her toy

A five-year-old girl slipped into a coma after putting toy beads containing a date rape drug into her mouth.

Molly Henderson is believed to be the first child in Britain affected by the Bindeez beads found to contain Gamma-hydroxybutyrate, or GHB.

After 24 agonising hours, the youngster pulled through but why she had become ill remained a mystery until the Bindeez beads were recalled by the manufacturer.
