Dallas mother accused of trying to poison her 3 children

DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas mother is accused of forcing her 4-year-old son to ingest ant poison after telling her three children that she planned to kill them and herself.

Thirty-one-year-old Paw Eh was arrested Saturday and has been charged with attempted capital murder.

The Dallas Morning News reports that Eh’s 12-year-old daughter told investigators she watched her mother fill a spoon with ant poison and water then force it into her 4-year-old son’s mouth. Police say Eh also tried to poison the daughter and a 7-year-old son, but was unsuccessful.

The 4-year-old child was being treated at a hospital, where his condition improved from critical to stable on Sunday.

Eh is being held in the Dallas County jail on a $500,000 bond. She didn’t have a lawyer as of late Sunday.
