Mom issues warning after twin daughters, 13, nearly die from vape laced with drugs in sick 'prank'
A British mother has shared an urgent warning about vaping after her twin daughters nearly lost their lives in a 'sick prank'.
Kay Fores, from Hull, UK, got every parent’s worst nightmare call on April 29 when her sister rang to say that her children had been found unconscious in a local park.
Scarlett and Olivia Bywood are said to have met with some girls at the park, where they were handed what they thought was a bog-standard vape.
The 13-year-olds fell unconscious just ten minutes after smoking, with their 'friends' reported to have fled the scene.

It was Kay's next door neighbor that discovered the teenagers were unconscious, who called an ambulance and informed the family as to what had happened.
Recalling that horrific day, Kay said: "These people from the other side of town met them at the park and gave them the vape. They do know these girls.
"I had been at work and the next minute I was getting a phone call that my kids had overdosed.
"I went to the park but they had been taken by an ambulance. One got her head cut, the other has a black eye."
The mom said she was 'devastated' when she arrived at the hospital to see Scarlett and Olivia both unconscious and on an IV drip.
'They could have died'
Kay went on to say that her twins 'could have died' if they hadn't been found at the time they were.
"They can't remember anything. They blacked out. One of them was foaming at the mouth," Kay added.
"We know everybody at the park. The people they were with just left them unconscious and just went.
"They were still out of it when I got there [the hospital]. They could have died. They've been on drips. I just want other parents to know."
'The next person could be dead'
Medical experts discovered the teens had been spiked with MDMA and spice and were out of it for six hours before coming round.
Kay has now issued a warning to other parents regarding the dangers of vaping.
She said: "They were released from hospital this morning. They're fine now. They can't remember anything, they are quite shocked. They just thought it was a normal vape. Ten minutes later this happened. If nobody got to them, they would have died.
"I don't think they will vape again. It was absolutely devastating. I want other kids to realize not to touch anybody's vape at all. Because the next person could be dead."
In a bid to raise awareness of her children's ordeal, Kay posted it online, where people were quick to brand it a 'sick' prank.
The mom has vowed to report the incident to the police.
