Parents of children who attended a birthday party at Home Run Inn have yet to receive an apology for serving their children spiked punch.
On Tuesday, ten children at the Chicago pizzeria fell ill and were taken to a local hospital. After consuming what they thought was fruit punch, there was an additional ingredient that made the minor party goers sick- alcohol.
“The drinks tasted funny to begin with, but we didn’t pay it any attention. We thought it was just us,” said Neyante Eggleston, whose child was at the party.
Once the servers noticed the error, they quietly attempted to retrieve all drinks from the table, but it was too late. Upon removal, a parent caught wind of the smell of alcohol coming from the cups.
“Everybody makes mistakes, but why would you just come and snatch the cups up, and not say anything to the parents of these kids that you just served alcohol?” she said. “Those who did drink, they drunk everything.”
All children are in stable condition.
