the more of these meth labs that get taken down the better the community will be, there is a suspected one on 18th street in vienna, that no one will check out, you can smell the chemicals in the air certain times, but who do you call, no one listens or acts on tips

TO LYNN: I was not tweaked out in any way as you thought. The only drug that I was on was my own medicine which the government gave to me and actually I had quit smoking marijuana 6 days prior to my arrest. The FEW people who KNOW me know all this to be true. Also, several people know that my children (1 in particular) were hurting and I was trying to get help with that.

To Anonymous: Does it really matter how I got the money to get out on bond. Or the fact that Matt is out on bond either. I know that I was seen by the courts, sheriffs and task force on the 27th, 28th, 29th, and the 30th. I was trying to get on with my life, but I have been slandered and discriminated against so bad that there was no way to stay in my home even and that is not right since the home was not shut down for anything. I told the law the truth that is why I do not have the manufacturing charge. They hit me with all the same charges but both Matt and I told them the truth. That is why they left the charge on him as of that night. We are setting an example I just wish that you all really knew our family and everything about us. I know that everyone who was almost arrested that night told the law officers the truth and it is obviously a straight set up. The ci knows whats up.

We did not cook meth for money. Nor was any cooked in the home especially the night we were arrested...I have no said that I am perfect and yes I have done things wrong in my lifetime, but what we are accused of is not the truth. I find it funny that someone is entering my home and stealing what little me and my children have left. All 3 of my children have never had fathers worth anything and we are all they have. I know what is the truth and so does my god. He is the only one that has the right to judge me. Most of you are going on assumptions. Well I am not simple minded and I know that there is more to all of this, my children need me especially the one involved in an investigation. Those babies were well taken care of, not wanting for nothing, going to school day in and out, all doctors appointments were met.

Matt, u know who i am. i dont understand what happened. last thing i heard from u is u were goin to huntington cause u were gonna be a daddy about the same time i was. What happened to ya bro? we were best friends, then we parted ways in high school. i obviously went the right path. I am sorry to hear u r in so much trouble. i guess the other people u hung out with in schools being jailed multipal times and some even worse didnt phase you. you have loving friends and family. u could have asked for some money and help to make it thru dude. i am praying that someday you will be back on track. i got a text from a good friend and it said you were in hot water and i could have died!

Nut didn't fall far from the tree did it Kim. This sort of activity is the norm of what Matt has grown up in. Watching his mom abuse drugs,scamming and stealing,why would he not follow in the same footsteps? I was hoping you would break the cycle Matt, but I guess not. I'm praying for you to get yourself straight and not end up like your worthless,lying,cheating,drug addict,stealing so called excuse of a Mother.I know all the praying in the world is gonna help her. But Matt you are young enough to still have a fighting chance,please get yourself straight.

i think these people should rot... they dont deserve to have kids. how could u ever do sumthing like that to 3 beautiful kids that u are supposed to be protecting, loving and being responsible for their well being? u deserve to be put in the hole 4 as long as u are in prison

If anyone wants to feel sorry for anyone do so for the children at 6yrs old and under they have seen and gone through more crap than I have in 27 yrs, and the family of those children who have had to sit back and watch these kids go through this. Things have been said and calls have been made but nothing has ever happened. There are grandmas, grandpas, aunts, and uncles out there that would like to be a part of these childrens lives but because of the so called "parents" lifestyles they cant. What kind of parent denies their child love from family.

To buzzsaw, several years ago, I lived just off of Quincy, in a nice home, there are several nice homes on that hill, it's not all of them. We had wanted to get the area cleaned up so more people would be willing to buy a home there but so many are turned into rental property and the owners didn't care, only that they got their rent money. Evidently it's still like that, go after the property owners that rent to these people. Don't condemn everyone that lives there. Make the owners of the property accountable too, (rental properties) don't condemn everyone on that hill, please.

How did she get the bond to get out?? She is the MOTHER of those kids, she should be held on OTHER equally serious charges instead of being out on the streets again. Let's use this 'couple' as an example of not what 'might' happen, but what WILL happen if you do this sort of thing.

Britt and Matt, after trying to read the drivel you just wrote, I think you are still tweaked out on meth. You exposed your children to toxic chemicals and you come on here looking for sympothy. You are pathetic and deserve to go to jail for a long time.

To Britt&Matt, oooh the drama, boo hoo, the long suffering victims. I see people like you every single day, everyone else made your life bad, and 'done you wrong'. I doubt you can go to any prison and ask if they are guilty, if ANY would admit it. Britt, if that is you really, you've already lied, you said the kids were in bed, then you said you were "playin'" in the living room. So which is it? I am so sick of hearing these sob stories from people like you I could scream. It sounds like some sort of BS to me, 'monthly income stolen, credit card stolen, your car was blown up' etc etc sounds kinda far fetched to me, and again, if you surround yourself with bad people, bad things happen. Step up and grow up, those kids have no choice in the matter, you DON'T deserve them back if you are strung out on drugs, THEY deserve better than that. I hear this stuff almost daily.
