It may be common sense to us, but nobody teaches new parents these things. I definantely believe she should be charged for possesion of drugs/intent to sell. But anything related to her baby, really could have been just an accident...
Just my opinion!!!
A parent of a toddler that drowned in the family swimming pool a while back was quoted in a news article about it saying
"Why didn't anyone tell us about the dangers of pools and toddlers? Why didn't the Pediatrician tell us before we left the hospital?"
