I read the article,and I completely agree with you.
However,it did say that the beads were meant for children FOUR and up.This sounds a bit more like parental error for allowing a two year old to have these. In the picture,they look like an obvious choking hazard for a two year old,regardless of whether or not they contain or manefested into GHB. Besides the fact that two year olds need constant supervision. What were this child's parents doing while he was injesting the bead?
