A 4-year-old finds a used condom in an Atlanta hotel room and put it in his mouth. Now, the family says, he might have caught a sexually transmitted disease.
Carmen Jones' 4-year-old grandson was excited to tell her about his first day in school. But Jones is hurting inside not knowing what sexually transmitted diseases her grandson might now have.
The doctors at Scottish Rite said, if it was some sort of herpes it would last seven to 10 days, and sure enough about 10 days he started getting better, but then the blisters reappeared.
Jones said she, her grandson and other family members stayed at the Wyndham Garden Hotel in downtown Atlanta on July 31.
But when they got up the next morning, her grandson found a used condom in their bed.
“I ran out the bathroom and my grandson had a condom in his mouth. His tongue was in the condom and he was trying to blow it up.”
And to add even more worry and fear to Jones ...
“It still had, what appeared to be semen in the condom. I wanted to take the condom and have it tested.”:
But Jones said the manager at the Wyndham would not let her take the condom.
She said after 24 hours, her grandson started throwing up, he developed a fever and started showing signs of a possible STD.
"Little white blisters all on the top of his mouth, on his tongue, inside the mouth, inside the lip, the bottom lip, it was all over."
Wyndham no longer owns the building. Georgia State University bought it and turned it into student dorms.
