Parents Give Son Alcohol Poisoning While Teaching Dangers Of Drinking Two Wyoming parents are locked up after their 16-year-old son passed away due to alcohol poisoning they themselves caused in an attempt to “teach him a lesson” about the dangers of drinking . Paulette and Joseph Richardson were each charged with involuntary manslaughter after encouraging Paulette’s son, Kendal Ball to down multiple shots of Fireball and Jack Daniels over the course of two hours before putting him to bed. They say that Kendal had been saying he wanted to drink for the last three years, so in an effort highlight the hazards of alcohol consumption, the couple aimed to allow the boy to drink enough to become sick so that he would see how undesirable the effects of drunkenness and hang-overs can be. Paulette reported to have checked on her son around 11 p.m. at which point he gave her a thumbs-up. When her husband checked on Kendel several hours later at 3:45 a.m., he was unresponsive. Paramedics found the boy with dark blue, cool skin. At his time of death, he had a blood alcohol content of .587 — nearly seven times the legal limit for drivers. SMH.
