A 3-year-old boy who ate some candy laced with LSD last month is about to leave foster care and be with his great-grandmother.
It's part of an agreement reached Thursday as custody proceedings continue.
The agreement made is that the young boy will stay with his great grandmother as court proceedings continue.
You might recall that last month, his mother was arrested for endangering a child, after he ate the LSD-laced candy at a party at someone else's house.
The young boy's father was serving in Iraq and came home when he heard about the news from a friend.
He is fighting for permanent custody, but says for right now, he's OK with his son being out of foster care and in a family member's care.
"It tears me apart knowing I wasn't able to be here because of where I was. Now that I've seen him, I got to see him this morning, and he's doing great, happy, smiling," father Allen Freas said.
"Anytime a child is affected, that takes him away from people that love him, it's very hard. It's very difficult," great-grandmother Juline Smith said.
Next week, the boy's mother, Ashli Freas, will find out if she gets visitation rights while custody proceedings continue.
