Describing his clients, TV reporters Krystin Rae Lisaius, 26, and Somchai Lisaius, 42, as ‘good, caring parents’ attorney Michael Piccarreta told PEOPLE, “What you have is a recreational use event by a very, very nice couple who never dreamed that 12 hours later the substance would be in the system, and that was a mistake.”

“And when the child showed any signs, which were actually lethargy, the child was taken to the hospital,” he continues.

“The child was never injured, never in any serious risk, and basically it was very, very healthy and thriving before and healthy and thriving now.”

The couple’s daughter has been placed with Krystin’s mother and they’re both reportedly undergoing drug screenings and parenting classes.

Their next court hearing is set for July 28.
