Horrific tale: Cocaine forced on kids

If you want to hang out,
you have to take her out,
Ragane

She don’t lie, she don’t lie, she don’t lie

I don’t buy it. No junkie is giving drugs away to anyone.

[Mr. Lucky]

So what, you figure a two year old girl scored her own coke and then ratted out her parents in a leniency deal?

[fortunecookie]

Just when you think you’ve heard the worst, along comes another story to out do it in depravity. I guess thank God the ‘parents’ stole food and were caught, because now the little ones have a chance. It’s amazing they’ve survived thus far.

[fortunecookie]

It's one thing to be addicted, and another to force a drug like crack cocaine on your children.

Agreed. Absolutely unnerving and depraved.

[LearsFool]

These parents are nothing but pushers!

If I were the President of this land,
I'd declare total war on the pusher-man.
I'd hit him if he stands
And I'd shoot him if he runs
And I'd kill him with my Bible
And my razor and my gun -
God, d-mn the pusher!

- Steppenwolf's The Pusher

If the last line offends, please pardon me for including it. But the author is not cussing wantonly, but is indeed beseeching God to destroy such people for the evil and destruction they bring on others.

If you've ever watched someone fall under the spell of the pusher and what he's pushing, you can understand the outrage against this scum.

If you seduce someone into a life of drugs, you need to die.

In the article, the County Solicitor’s office made a deal to cap the sentences at 5 years so the 5 year old would not be dragged through a trial.

Sadly, this was probably a wise choice given his age and the abuse suffered, abuse he seems blissfully unaware of for the most part. But I would hope that in five years, when these 'parents' are freed, the legal system doesn't rush to reunite the children with them. Not without enormous changes by them, and even then I'd be leery...

[The Great RJ]

These idiots should not only get time in prison, but should also be sterilized so they cannot do this to any more children.

[Wolfie]

I think the cops are lying. Clear enough?

“12,143 parts per million”

1 g / 1000ml = 1000 ppm

12+ grams per liter of blood is so far above the toxic range fore coke that this has to be MSM stupidity!

[mouse_35]

I hope that the legal system is working on terminating the parental rights of both of these...people. (I’d call them something else, but I don’t want to get banned.) I don’t think they should ever be allowed near the kids again and certainly they should not be in charge of them.

According to another article, people are considered “stoned” when cocaine concentration is equal to .3 parts per million. Even if the author meant to say “parts per billion” it’s still not right.
