A woman has been accused of forcing her four-year-old son to ingest ant poison in an apparent attempt to kill her three children and herself.
Paw Eh, 31, was arrested at her Dallas home at the weekend and charged with attempted capital murder.
According to police documents, Eh force fed a spoon full of the poison to the four-year-old while her two other children, aged 12 and seven, watched.
At one point she slapped the child across the face as he resisted, the 12-year-old told investigators.
Police said Eh was unsuccessful in her attempts to force the other two children to ingest the poison.
The 12-year-old, who reportedly ran to her grandmother's home, told police her mother said she planned to kill them and then herself.
The seven-year-old boy said his mother wanted "to kill us with poison powder that kills ants and stuff", according an arrest warrant.
The four-year-old was taken to hospital, where he was in stable condition.
