Mom Accused of Feeding Meth-Tainted Breastmilk to Daughter

Posted by Cole Gamble

According to her family and friends, Michelle Megan Hastings deserves credit because she hasn’t used meth for several months. Except, of course, that one day when she breast fed her child.

 

Hastings was arrested and charged with criminal mistreatment after police say her daughter tested positive for methamphetamine. She faces 17 months in jail if convicted.

 

“She has been doing wonderful," said neighbor Lisa Lyche.  "For months and months she has been going to treatment programs daily, like several times and different treatment programs every day."

 

Unfortunately, that effort wasn’t enough to protect Hastings’s daughter.

Except, not accept.

(I have no doubt you know the difference between accept and except. It's just killing me up there and I've had too much caffeine to just let it go)

Except, Cole, not accept!

Nitpicking aside, I find this whole thing sad. If she had such a meth problem to begin with, how did she still have custody of her child? Her friends and family sound so desperate to excuse her behavior like you would dismiss a child's occasional temper tantrum, but that's not how this behavior works!
