Report of Child Neglect Made by … Mother’s Drug Dealer
A Canadian woman is fighting termination of her parental rights to her 8 and 10 year old daughters.
The children are in child protective custody while their mother serves time on the charge of “corrupting children”.
The kids were reportedly found sleeping on the floor next to a litter box in a home in which there was no food or refrigerator, but cocaine was in easy reach.
Addicts were shooting up in plain sight of the children.
Conditions were so horrendous that the call to the police to report the neglect of the children actually came from the mother’s alleged drug dealer.
