Podcast – Kent mum ‘devastated’ after potentially life-saving medication for her daughter was confiscated – 08/04/2019
Today we’ve been hearing from a Kent mum who says she’s devastated, after cannabis medication that could help her severely epileptic daughter was taken off her by airport officials.
Nine-year-old Teagan Appleby from Aylesham can have as many as 300 seizures a day.
She was given cannabis-based treatment here in the UK at the end of last year, which initially helped – but she’s got worse again in the last couple of months.
Her mum Emma flew to Rotterdam in Holland to pick up stronger drugs – but was stopped at Southend Airport and made to hand it in.
