A Florida woman was arrested Monday, after her 16-month-old daughter tested positive for cocaine. MyFOXOrlando reports.
The baby's grandmother contacted Sanford, Fla. police after she went to check on her daughter, Marshal Daniels, and found her granddaughter alone, covered in sores. Daniels' mother took the baby to the hospital after noticing the child was digging at her skin in an attempt to sratch the wounds.
While being treated for the sores, a doctor reported that the baby had tested positive for cocaine. Police arrested Daniels, 30 and charged her with child abuse She is being held here at the Seminole County Jail on $7,000. bond.
What I'm wondering is how long this baby was left alone before the grandmother got there....Poor baby......

Can you imagine the horror that the grandmother felt when she realized what her daughter did? That poor woman, and the poor baby. I hate drugs and what they do to people.

And to see a baby go through withdrawel is heartbreaking...A friend of mine, whose daughter was on heavy drugs, adopted the baby and went through some tough times...The little one is now 4, and still has problems from when the drugs were in her system...Fortunately this baby was taken out of the mothers care.......

Doing such abuse to your body is one thing, but doing it to another being who has no choice in the matter is just horrible IMO.
Toddler found with cocaine in system
Here's the link to the page with the story. I was hoping there'd be more information, but It was a pretty short article. That poor, poor baby. Thank god the grandmother found her.

only an incapable mother/ parent would give their infant some drugs.. a bad addition in our gene pool.

I agree! But people who use drugs like that lose their conscience to it fast, making them incapable of caring for or about anyone else! The only thing that they live for is the drugs, and if they don,t get help before it,s too late they lose their souls to it as well! I just hope and pray that baby will find a loving home and not be so damaged by the drugs that were given her, that she can grow into a healthy, happy person! These strories just make me so heart sick!
