Vermont Mother Charged with Child Endangerment After Huffing

Via the Rutland Herald in Vermont:


A 22 year old woman had denied charges she endangered her children earlier this month and caused multiple vehicle crashes last year after she had allegedly been abusing inhalants.

She was charged with a “felony count of endangering a child under the age of 2, two misdemeanor counts of cruelty to a child, five misdemeanor counts of careless or negligent operation of a motor vehicle and a charge of leaving the scene of a crash.” Her conditions of release included a curfew at her new address and no contact with her three children.

In early January police were called to her apartment by the father of one her children. He said he came to his 4 year old daughter’s birthday party and found her mother face down on her bed huffing an aerosol can. He took his daughter and when police arrived they found two young children pulling food from the refrigerator while their mother was huffing behind a closed door.

The other charges involve a series of crashes last fall in which she had admitted to huffing computer dusting spray.
