    I know nothing about a meth charge, but she was the parent who called the school and TRIED to stop this when she realized her son was being weird.

    So in the grand scheme of which parent should have custody, i’d pick the one who didn’t hand him a gun.

      Be that as it may, full custody shouldn’t be given to methheads. It’s almost like it isn’t a simple, black & white issue.

        Or better we give the kid to the maternal grandparents who it sounds like the mother was living with and get the child therapy and the mother rehab and not call her a methhead to stigmatize her when she fucking tried to do the right thing here.

        The addict had more sense about her son than his father did. Maybe, just maybe, we should stop criminalizing addiction so that we don’t end up with 4 dead people, 9 injured, and 2 people looking at life in prison.

          If you don’t know anything about it then maybe don’t chime in with “she should’ve had custody” eh?
