    Most of y’all’s kids are or will be on the same thing sold under the FDA approved versions at about the age of 6 per public school teachers notes. Adderall, Ritalin, focalin etc… because they daydreamed and as you remember all kids love School.

    Yeah it’s uncalled for what she did but ever since A D.D ,ADHD went viral, airborne and daydreaming supercedes a specialist Dr ,it’s mutated and now has a particular taste for developing minds as if pressures aren’t enough without mind altering substances from the worst drug dealer Big Pharma lobbied too ..,..Dr Kickback pumps time released FDA approved meth but under soccer mom marketable names , plus they can share**satire***

    We need mandatory sterilization. Drug addicts like her will continue to get pregnant – no regard for their own lives – much less of what drug use does to a fetus.
    Her mug shot clearly shows she thinks it’s funny.

    i hope the kid has a shot at a normal drug free life. looks like it will be a struggle with this person for a mother.

    No humility or shame in that picture. Pure selfish on her part to only think of herself. Long term effects of what she has done will be unknown.
    Good of the hospital to recognize it and report her

    What’s up with these folks being arrested and their jail photos look like they’re all smiles and happy without a care in the world.?
    Baby born suffering withdrawals of meth…..isn’t that Attempted Pre-Meditated Murder?
