Bittersweet or woody nightshade berries are at their most attractive to children when they a red and ripe. 
But actually they are more poisonous when green.
Despite their 'nightshade' name they are not usually a serious problem.  Just a bit of tummy upset.  The last recorded death was in 1948 when a little girl swallowed a lot.
