there is no excuse for this kind of behavior. although i would love to know how the cocaine got into the childrens system. the children should be placed with the maternal grandparents while michele serves her time and then while she attends drug rehab. i really thought she would have grown up by now. she should have taken her childrens lives more seriously.

I know this woman as well, and I am shocked that this has happened.I am sure there is more to the story, but in any case she put the children in that situation, to me she is guilty of neglect.I also know that the children have a good family that loves them dearly, and that is who should take care of the children.You can not punish the family for her mistakes.I pray every night for the girls and the family.And i wish a healthy recovery for them all.

Terry of Parkersburg - what is an opion? If the drugs were in her house she is guilty and needs to go to jail.

I know this woman as well. I cant say that im very surprised. She is a good person at heart,but she made a HUGE mistake. I think she has a problem and her children need to be aprt from her until she is a fit mother.

this is very sick story i was taken from my parents for less reasons then that and if she gets away with this then its really a messed up world.

What happened to "innocent until proven guilty". I agree that if she did do something wrong she needs to be punished, but why not wait to find out the whole story.

I know this lady as well and there has to be more to the story. I pray for the children and hope that we get an update.

There is really no excuse for people behaving this way and getting away with it. I also hope these children are placed in a safe, happy, and loving home where they never have to see that woman again. She is not a mother she probably just used her kids to get benefits from the state because in all reality that is the kind of world we live in. If the state gives her children back to her that is just showing everyone else what they can get away with and there is your answer about what kind of world we live in.

I am a mother of six I just cant imagine even if I had a drug problem of my own how I could do that to my children Parents at that early age is all children have to trust. Then we wonder why the juvinile detention centers are full and why our younger generation has a lack of cofidence in theirselves. Something needs to be done about these drugs on our streets.

Lock the crack head up for life. She should never see her children again. How sad for the children, hopefully they will find a loving home where there are no drugs.

I know this woman...and have for many years. I cannot beleive this has happened. There has to be more to the story....and I'd like to know how the 5 year old is doing now. I hope that there is an update on her condition.
