Two sisters were left ‘foaming at the mouth’ and unconscious in a park after friends gave them a vape laced with the zombie drug Spice in a ‘sick prank’ – then ran off.
Identical twins Scarlett and Olivia Bywood from Hull, East Yorkshire, almost died when they met some girls from ‘the other side of town’ and were given a vape spiked with Spice and MDMA on April 29, according to their mother, Kay Fores.
The unsuspecting 13-year-olds smoked what they believed to be a normal vape but minutes later they were alone, unconscious and foaming at the mouth after their friends left them to die.
Their next-door neighbour spotted the girls in the park and called an ambulance before alerting their aunt who quickly called Ms Fores while she was at work.
The 37-year-old was ‘devastated’ when she arrived at Hull Royal Infirmary and saw her daughters unconscious on an IV drip with cuts and bruises.
Recalling the ordeal, she said: ‘These people from the other side of town met them at the park and gave them the vape. They do know these girls.
‘I had been at work and the next minute I was getting a phone call that my kids had overdosed.
‘I went to the park but they had been taken by an ambulance. One got her head cut, the other has a black eye.’

The 13-year-old twins had been given a vape by friends in a park that was spiked with Spice and MDMA. Just minutes later they had collapsed and were foaming at the mouth
Doctors ran blood tests and confirmed the daughters were spiked with spice and MDMA. They were both unconscious for the whole ordeal and it took them six hours to wake up
She added: ‘If they hadn’t been found at the park, they would be dead. They didn’t know anything about these vapes, they were just given them and gave it a go.’
It took six hours for the girls to wake up while doctors ran blood tests and confirmed they were spiked with Spice and MDMA.
The twins were discharged the next day and only sustained minor injuries from collapsing – but Kay said her daughters would have died if they had not been found so soon.
‘They were still out of it when I got there. They could have died. They’ve been on drips. I just want other parents to know,’ she said.
Kay told her social media followers about her daughters’ spiking and people were quick to brand it a ‘sick prank’.
The mum does not think her daughters will touch vaping again anytime soon.
She said: ‘I don’t think they will vape again. It was absolutely devastating. I want other kids to realise not to touch anybody’s vape at all. Because the next person could be dead.’
Kay now wants to warn other parents about the dangers of vaping and has said she will report the spiking to the police in the hopes it won’t happen to anyone else.
This comes as the dangerous synthetic drug Spice in vapes and its usage among young people is on the rise, with up to one in four vapes confiscated in secondary schools in England containing the substance.
Due to it being cheaper to manufacture than THC, the active ingredient in cannabis, the amount of THC vapes being sold containing spice is increasing.
