Mom charged for giving sons pot for medical reasons

Michigan mother faces child abuse and other charges after authorities say she gave her 10- and 12-year-old sons marijuana for medical reasons.

The 31-year-old woman from the village of Mesick in the Lower Peninsula attended a pretrial conference Tuesday in 84th District Court in Cadillac. She's charged with delivery/manufacture of marijuana and two counts of third-degree child abuse.

Wexford County Prosecutor Anthony Badovinac tells the Cadillac News that the woman gave marijuana to the 10-year-old boy to help with emotional issues and to the 12-year-old to treat attention deficit disorder. Badovinac says the woman indicated she preferred that to prescribed pills.

Badovinac says police became involved after the woman told a Child Protective Services worker that she gave her children marijuana. The drug charge is punishable by up to 4 years in prison and the child-abuse charge carries up to 2 years in prison or 5 years of probation.

Is anyone else disturbed by the fact that the drug charge carries more prison time than the child abuse charge?

Depends. Is a child abuse charge always two years?

yes, very sickening...

a mother can't determine what medication is right for their child yet a doctor can?

and the weed charge is punishable up to 4 years in prison!? WHAT?

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]
