The guidance emphasizes that the behavior is unsafe and should be evaluated alongside the boyfriend’s overall decision-making. It recommends considering whether the incident is an isolated lapse or part of a pattern of unwise choices. If the boyfriend repeatedly makes poor judgments, the advice is to leave.

The response also indicates that the child’s parent should be informed so appropriate steps can be taken regarding what the child ate and how to prevent recurrence.
