           <description><![CDATA[
  A schoolgirl was rushed to hospital after taking what is believed to be ecstasy.&nbsp;
  
  The 13-year-old was hallucinating and suffering heart palpitations after taking the drug while out with friends.&nbsp;
  
  Her dad&nbsp;called emergency services after discovering a video of his daughter acting in an unusual way on online app Snapchat.&nbsp;
  
  Her mother checked her at about 7.30pm on Saturday she found her in distress.&nbsp;
  
  The teenage girl's parents then found out she had taken an ecstasy pill shaped like a blue diamond.&nbsp;
  
  She was rushed to the A&amp;E department at Fraserburgh Hospital, Aberdeenshire, where tests were carried out before she was transferred to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary.&nbsp;
  
  Her mother said: "She had an ECG (electrocardiogram) which showed her heart was racing and she was hallucinating - her eyes just looked empty and black.&nbsp;
  
  "Fraserburgh hospital then called through to Aberdeen, who wanted her in as soon as possible by ambulance.&nbsp;
  
  "I went with her in the ambulance, on arrival a second ECG was taken. She was very pale and still hallucinating.&nbsp;
  
  "The consultant - who was absolutely brilliant with her - spoke with her at the time about the danger she had put herself in, as it's common for the kidneys and heart to fail, and in the worst case scenario - death."&nbsp;
  
  The girl was kept in overnight for observation, and was discharged late on Sunday.&nbsp;
  
  She is now recovering at home.&nbsp;
  
  Although relieved she has not suffered any lasting damage, her mum decided to speak out to warn other teens of the risks.&nbsp;
  
  Her mother said: "My aim was not to shame her, but these kids need to know they are playing with death.&nbsp;
  
  "I needed to put it out there so other parents are aware that this stuff destroys families.&nbsp;
  
  "She's 13, and these are readily available to kids of this age - it's disgusting.&nbsp;
  
  "I can't even begin to tell anyone the level of devastation I am feeling just now, but these kids need to know they are playing with death.&nbsp;
  
  "There are no safe drugs or legal drugs."&nbsp;
