Now, this is bad parenting (GRRR!!!!!)
A Warren buchiach is being charged with injecting about 50 grams of heroin into the arm of her 12-year-old nephew.

The incident occurred on Jan. 24 at a home on Cottage Lane, in the Groesbeck area, where the boy lived with his grandmother, according to the Macomb Daily.

The 12-year-old was eating spaghetti in the basement of the home when Jacqueline Ellen Vuich, 25, allegedly took a syringe and injected a brown liquid near the elbow, according to police.

Relatives rushed the unconscious boy to the emergency room. Doctors at Henry Ford Bi-County Hospital transferred him to Children's Hospital in Detroit where he was listed in critical condition, according to the paper

1. Sadly it seems drug addicts have more of a right...
To have children than gay people do or people of other ethnic tastes. Cause ya know, a drug addiction is much better than open-minded tolerance :sarcasm:

poor kid...

3. The republican reality of the right to be born


The right to be born to be abused by parents who didn't want you in the first place, that is the republican reality of America.

5. Even in the Aristocrats joke you have a mommy and daddy!
You're right though, 424, a stone cold sober gay/lesbian couple hasn't a chance in this increasingly dominionist society.

7. I normally don't "edit" the stories I post but this one really angered me.
I heard this on WJR news and sought out the article, according to the telecast, her excuse (if you want to call it that) was that she needed to ditch the drugs.

4. 50 grams? No way.
They must mean 50 CCs. There is absolutely no way in hell you can put 50 grams of heroin into a syringe.

8. 50 ccs would never fit, either
They must've meant 5 grams. Cook it enough, you could get it to dissolve into a small enough amount of liquid to fit into a kid's arm.

5 grams is a teaspoon. 50 grams is three tablespoons plus one teaspoon, or a little less than a quarter cup. A gram = a cc. Again, no way.

The kid may do OK if he got treatment quickly enough. The only good thing about a heroin OD is that it can be reversed very quickly with Narcan.

In any case, there is no way he's going back to that shithead mother.

15. 5 grams is still impossible.
Even the hardest of the hard core junkies could never do 5 grams at once, this kid would have died instantly.

But, I agree, whatever the measurement is it's too much. What a fucking crazy thing to do.

13. To get an idea of what 50 grams involves...

Then again, I don't care if it was 1 cc, that's still heinous!

16. 50 grams is almost 2 ounces.
No one could live through that, not even Keith Richards.

11. That's not "parenting" at all...
Bad doesn't BEGIN to cover it.

12. Unbelievably disgusting ...
What could possibly motivate this scum to inject her nephew (a child of 12), or anyone else for that matter?
