KC teen charged after son, two other toddlers eat cocaine
A Kansas City teenage mom faces child endangerment charges after hospital tests revealed that her 2-year-old son and two other young children ingested crack cocaine.
The children apparently sampled crumbs that the mom left behind when she darted out to sell drugs, court records allege.
Children's Mercy Hospital staff contacted police after one of the children suffered seizures earlier this week.
Jackson County prosecutors on Thursday charged Tasha Cole, 17, with four felony counts of endangering the welfare of a child. They requested a $75,000 bond. Read more

She was watching somebody else's 2 & 3 year old, plus she had her own 2 year old and she's only 17. Where are this girl's parents?

With so many programs out there to help young mothers, there's no excuse for her to put herself and her kid in such a situation. I'm tired of hearing the excuses people make for these kids. I grew up in the so-called wrong side of the tracks out in cali but I refused to get caught up with the wrong crowd and did what I had to in order to get out. Throw the book at her. Hopefully her child ends up in a home with alot of love and gives the child hope for a better life.
