A woman from Hamilton, Montana was sentenced to ten years in
Montana Department of Corrections with five years suspended. She was first
arrested in May 2014 after she provided alcohol to a 13-year-old boy, who
became extremely sick in the motel room where she was staying with her
14-year-old daughter. However, the mother did not seek medical treatment
because she “was worried about getting into trouble.” The second incident occurred
when she was released on bail in November. During this time, she abused
inhalants with her children. After consuming these products, one of her
children fell and hit its head and subsequently had two seizures.
These events were reportedly part of a larger parenting
trend. Another allegation included regularly using drugs in front of her
children. Additionally, is also accused of regularly bringing various men home
for the purpose of having sexual intercourse in front of her children. Her
defense attorney cited the physical and sexual abuse that she suffered as a
child as reasons for her behavior. However, the judge rejected her please for
clemency during sentencing.
