The oldest child told investigators that the poisoning was part of her mother’s murder-suicide plot.
Eh called her children to the kitchen and her oldest daughter watched as she opened the poison and tried forcing her youngest child to drink it.
The 4-year-old initially refused, but then Eh slapped him and slipped the spoon in his mouth when he began crying.
The middle child told police, “my mom wants to kill us with poison powder that kills ants and stuff,” according to an affidavit.
The youngest child was in stable condition on Sunday and the older two were in custody of Child Protective Services.
Eh was charged with attempted capital murder and held on $150,000 bond, according to NBC.
Neighbors told the Dallas Morning News they didn’t know much about Eh, who speaks a different language.
One neighbor said that the arrest was a surprise, but also said that he knew Eh had medical problems.
