A Nova Scotian dad is facing charges after he allegedly confronted a woman for supposedly giving his 13-year-old daughter "molly." Stephen Sampson, who is from Dominion, Cape Breton, allegedly entered the woman in question's home without her consent while in possession of a weapon and threatened her.

Sampson alleges that the woman he approached had bought a bottle of rum for his daughter and her 14-year-old best friend, and then proceeded to offer them a drug to "sober them up," which he he referred to as "molly," while she partied with the teenagers in her home.

"Then this girl introduced four lines of molly, which is a highly dangerous narcotic. It's a mix of all kinds of dangerous drugs," Sampson told CBC.

Sampson is probably referring to MDMA, which in certain circles—such as among teenagers, American EDM ravers, and dads—is sometimes referred to as "molly." However, his description of the substance as being a concoction of "all kinds of dangerous drugs" is a bit misleading since, ideally, MDMA isn't supposed to contain any other drug.

"One was tearing off her clothes trying to release whatever was in her skin; the other had a bloody nose," Sampson said. "My daughter, she was scared she was dying, so they told me everything—where they were, what had happened."

To me, those symptoms suggest meth, bath salts, research chemicals (or some combination of the three) rather than "MDMA" or "Molly" as reported.

Since no charges have been brought against the woman Sampson allegedly confronted for supposedly assisting his daughter and her friend in getting fucked up, there is no indication the drug the girls took has been tested by police to confirm its identity.

Cape Breton police did not respond immediately to a request for comment on the case.

Sampson will be appearing in court on November 25.
