Wow, this is a bad one.
A Northern California woman has been accused of knowingly killing her infant son by breastfeeding him shortly after ingesting large amounts of methamphetamine.
Mom doesn’t have the maternal sense to get off the bathtub crank while caring for an infant (also I wonder if she was off the crank while she was pregnant), but certainly was maternal enough to breast feed her kid, despite her fluids being lethal.
Also for the lovely “Gun Death” folks. They point out that by banning or restricting guns they’ll stop “Gun Death” (and somehow that alone without an overall decrease in violent crime). They never seem to look much at the drug culture. First up, the majority of “Gun Deaths” are tied in with the illegal drug trade, as well as many of the violent crimes seen here in the “Gun Death?” Files. But also look at all the people using, abusing, and dying from use of ILLEGAL drugs. In Massachusetts we need a permit, background check, and take a training course to buy a gun. You can’t do ANYTHING to legally get a hold of Methamphetamine. Yet they both exist in the criminal population.
Maybe we need a different course of action. Its the PEOPLE not the tool!
