Mom Gives 4-Year-Old Synthetic Heroin to Pass Drug Test

Chicago Tribune: ADRIAN, Michigan -- An Adrian mother will serve up to 20 years in prison for giving her 4-year-old daughter synthetic heroin in a scheme to pass a drug test.
The Daily Telegram of Adrian reports that the minimum sentence given 31-year-old Randi Marie Carr by Lenawee County Circuit Court Judge Margaret Noe is four years and nine months.
Carr was prescribed methadone to treat a heroin addiction. She was being monitored from a 2008 drug case and wanted to use her daughter's urine to pass a drug test. The child was given methadone so testers would believe the urine being tested was Carr's.
She pleaded guilty in August to methadone delivery and was sentenced Wednesday.
Public defender John Glaser argued that the girl did not suffer physical injury.

Twenty years for this horrendous crime is a slap in the face to decency and justice. I would make sure, if possible, this junkie would never receive any type of contraband while imprisoned, make her suffer the withdrawals that possibly the infant will suffer. The cruelty of this is beyond my ability to comprehend.







Wow, just wow.
