Seven children hospitalized after taking prescription pills

HOPEWELL, Va. (AP) — Authorities in Virginia are still trying to piece together what happened and whether any adults will face criminal charges after seven children took prescription medicine and ended up in the hospital. Police in Hopewell said they were called to a home late Wednesday afternoon, where they found four small children unresponsive. Three more children found in another part of the house were awake, but lethargic. The children ranged between the ages of 1 and 7. A 7-year-old boy told police he took his medication, then gave some to the other children. Police said they plan to consult with prosecutors about whether any adults will face charges.
