EVERETT, Wash. -- An Everett mother was arrested Thursday with heroin, while her 2-year-old son had to be hospitalized because police said he was high on heroin too.

Camie Bena, 22, faces reckless endangerment and possession of heroin charges following a traffic stop that occurred Thursday night on Marine Drive in Everett.

Bena was arrested when an officer saw heroin paraphernalia in her purse. In the backseat, he stated he noticed the toddler in a carseat acting lethargic. Paramedics agreed he was intoxicated and transported him to Colby Hospital.

According to court documents, Bena said she smokes heroin and showed no remorse for using it in the car with the young child.

Bena's boyfriend was also arrested for giving officers a fake name with an outstanding warrant.

Another person in the car, sitting next to the toddler, was also high on heroin, officers said.

Custody of the boy was handed over to Child Protective Services.

One would hope that she never hears the shot that gets her.



Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzappppp.

Whump.

Wood chipper, feet first.

This is from a Komonews story on the incident

Documents show the little boy also had been placed with the agency after a previous incident that took place when he was only 6 months old, in April 2010.

"Idiot" isn't even in the same ZIP Code when used to describe this particular local life form....


"Mother," as used in the context of the article, isn't in the same galaxy....

JFC, I don't even have the words! What scum.


Fishy

I met a doctor year before last who treats heroin patients. He described to me how most heroin addicts become so. It's a process of calculated betrayal.

An addict will use all their personal resources to buy heroin. When those are gone, they borrow, beg, and then steal all they can from their family and friends to buy heroin. When those resources are gone, then they steal wherever they can, and women prostitute themselves to buy heroin. To sustain their habit, many become dealers.

As a dealer they win recruits by inviting newcomers to parties where booze and lightweight drugs like pot are popular. Then they give mixes of light drug hits to newbies. Once the newbs have some heroin circulating in their systems, he gives them free doses of straight heroin. Then the new addict says, "hey, when can we party and get another hit?" That's when the parasitic host announces, "Oh, that's gonna' cost $100 a day now. No freebies."

The doctor had seen so many variations on this theme play out among his many patients. He told me this while he was awaiting a phone call that his addict daughter, who had been in and out of rehab three times, had finally died from her addiction.

Then and there I decided that a shoot on sight policy for heroin dealers would be too good a treatment.

Sounds alot like grants that become unfunded mandates, doesn't it?

This statement here should get her shot.
