THE parents of a teenage girl who lies critically ill in hospital after taking an Ecstasy tablet were last night keeping a vigil by her bedside.
The 15-year-old took the drug while at a Middlesbrough night club on Friday night and shortly afterwards became ill.
She went to her sister's house, where she lost consciousness in the early hours of Saturday, and was rushed to Middlesbrough General Hospital.
Yesterday, staff at the hospital, where the youngster is in intensive care, said there had been no improvement in her condition.
On Tuesday, a 30-year-old woman and a 15-year-old girl were arrested in connection with supplying controlled drugs after police carried out a house search.
They have now been released on bail and will face further questioning.
The victim's parents were too upset to talk about the situation.
