Father "gave son cocaine during PlayStation sessions"
A man allegedly gave cocaine to his five-year-old son to make him better at PlayStation games.
Police say a cocaine derivative was found in the hair of the unnamed child from Milan.
His 45-year-old father, named only as Mario, has been charged with possession of drugs and abuse.
Tgcom website reports his lawyer, Osvaldo Damigella, said: "My client used to see his son once every two weeks. It"s not possible that he has given him that amount of cocaine, otherwise the baby would have died."
The child is said to have told his divorced mother that his father gave him cocaine during visits.
Silvia said: "My son used to come back from his father"s very nervous and unable to sleep.
"He said his father would give him white powder to play better with his PlayStation."
