This woman USED to be a part of my family. She really did have everything you could ever want. She had the very best. she decided to throw it away. Now her daughter has to pay for it. Now what if my neice had found those needels in her purse or taken some of those pills because she thought they were candy? I agree with who ever said she should be locked up so that she HAS to get clean. Not that I like her but I would like to be able to see her have a good normal relationship with her daughter. I'm afriad if she is aloud to stay around her daughter then she will turn out just like her mother....In trouble!report abuse

Drugs ruin people. It makes them narcissistic to the point they’d sell their soul and their children for them. What’s the cure? Is there one? Maybe its part of society, the world’s reality causes them to do drugs. Make me numb I just want to escape for a little while. Maybe just a little longer. If I can’t be free, maybe my mind can be. Oh no, is that the cops following me?report abuse

Roxy, I don't doubt that all you say is true. My point is still what a shame and a waste for a person that young to be in such a state. I simply feel bad for this person, her daughter and others that are in the same position. It's not easy getting off drugs. It's a horrible medical condition. I'm not even saying she shouldn't be held accountable for what she did. I'm simply saying it's sad and regrettable.report abuse

This comment goes first to WiseCrone this young women had everything you mentioned including a great job till she blew it all away. She doesn't keep a job because she has found an easier way to make a living. The so called roomate/boyfriend is her boss and he was busted 3 months ago and the cops should figure out that she has been his prime dealer. She has a 4 year old daughter who was present when this 1st took place. Her daughter should not have to be in this atmosphere. The state claims her mother is not a threat, I think she is. As far as getting help, she has had more help then anyone I know. She was in rehab 3 years ago, had a nice home, good job, nice vehicle and chose to continue to do her drugs. So as far as feeling sorry for her don't. You can't help those who don't want to help themselves. Feel sorry for her child who will have to understand her mothers actions when she is old enough to understand the situation and that when she is in her mothers care she is put in danger of her mothers choices.report abuse
