Today's front page story of the Lexington Herald-Leader was quite horrible (the story will be accessible for 7 days). A 20- or 22-month-old boy (reports vary) drank drain cleaner that was being used to make methamphetamine from a coffee cup in his home. He died within the hour, being severely burned inside and out from the chemical. It was a horrible way for anyone to die, especially an innocent child. His father (19) and mother (only 14--she would have been about 12 when he was born) have been charged with murder, and four other people have been arrested on related drug charges.
There are so many things wrong with this story. First the child's death as a byproduct of drug manufacturing. Second, a child that young raising a child...her parents live across the road, but still...look what was going on there according to police.
