The grandmother of a one-year-old child who was hospitalized after ingesting traces of cocaine and PCP is now facing child endangerment charges. Yolanda Beck, 37, allegedly left pieces of foil with traces of the drugs in her home within the child's reaching distance, which we believe Benjamin Spock said was a no-no. The child got hold of the foil and put it in his mouth, ingesting the drugs. He was later taken to Mt. Sinai Hospital where he was treated. After a police search of the home, where Beck lives with the child's family, turned up drug paraphernalia, she admitted to smoking the drugs earlier that day.
