Chevonne Thomas, Mom Who Decapitated 2-Year-Old Son, Killed Self, Had Used PCP

CAMDEN, N.J. -- Toxicology tests show a New Jersey woman who decapitated her 2-year-old son and then killed herself in August had smoked PCP-laced marijuana.

The Camden County Prosecutor's released the test results on Monday showing 34-year-old Chevonne Thomas had used the drug before killing her son and putting his head in a freezer.

The woman had suffered from mental illness and had twice lost custody of her son because of drug use. It was believed from the Aug. 22 tragedy that she was using the drug known as "wet," which is linked to violence in some users.

The same drug was linked to another horrific crime in Camden weeks later. In that case, authorities say a man broke into a home where he attacked a sleeping girl, then fatally stabbed her 6-year-old brother.

Why people still use PCP is a mystery to me.

I feel so sorry for the child.

1. If I had to pick a drug to never try, PCP would be near the top of the list. n/t

2. Dealers lace their schwag with it

so they'll have something to sell to get people high. As long as drugs remain illegal, this is going to keep going on.

PCP was a bathtub drug when it came out, a designer hallucinogen to get around stupid laws against the more benign ones like LSD, mushrooms and peyote. It's always been a worse drug than the ones it replaced on the street.

This is how it's going to continue going as long as we are cursed by the overpriced and utterly futile drug war.

3. I took some by accident 40-odd years ago

What a freaking nightmare. One of the most frightening, horrible experiences of my life.
I hope they find the dealer who sold that murderous shit to the woman, and prosecute to the maximum.

4. Why, why why is a mentally-ill woman who's lost custody TWICE of a 2-yr-old ever, ever, given

the child after the 2nd time? That poor baby would be alive today if he had been in a foster home.

5. Freedom

Freedom, baby, freedom. If it feels good, do it.

This is what small government phonies forget to extrapolate.
