Susan Taylor’s case about giving her baby a methadone-soaked dummy got finally reported this last Tuesday. She has to go to jail for three years. The incident happened in November 2008. Ms. Taylor admitted the charge last September, but it couldn’t get reported earlier because her partner was facing trial. She told the judge that she rolled the baby’s dummy around the measuring cup she uses to take her daily methadone. Her ten-year-old child nearly died. According to the doctors, they found a large amount of the methadone in the child’s urine. It is uncertain whether there are lasting effects.
My opinion:
This is one of the most shocking articles I have read for this course. First of all, because of this little baby. It is so cruel that a ten-week-old baby gets involved and nearly dies because of her drug addict parents. Secondly, I think they have waited way too long until they sent her to jail. The incident happened a year and a half ago, and up till last Tuesday she didn’t get punished for it. Thirdly, I find it hard to imagine how two drug addict people can raise a child decently. Every child deserves at least one parent who can take care of him/her without worrying about getting drugs into your system.

Hello Patty,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenGood work, keep it up! The first question that I thought about was 'How could you give your own child a drug!?'. It is even more shocking because it not a child, but a baby. I think that this baby needs to be taken away from their parents or otherwise its future is in danger.

Jasper
