- A Kentucky mother shares the story of her 8-year-old son who accidentally ordered 30 boxes of Dum-Dum lollipops on Amazon, leading to a $4,200 charge.
- Her son Liam, diagnosed with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder, does not fully grasp the consequences of his actions and had never placed an order before.
- The family stayed home to intercept the delivery, but 22 boxes arrived unexpectedly, followed by eight more that were ultimately rejected.
- With quick support from the local community, all boxes were accounted for, and Amazon agreed to issue a full refund while the mother hopes to raise awareness about FASD.
