Girl: 'Mom cooks me in the oven like a turkey'; Hamtramck woman arraigned

Silly naive me (about drugs) - but can someone tell me why meth would cause a mother to do something like this?
I can understand a meth addict doing many horrific things to pay for their habit, etc - but what reason is there behind cooking a child?
Does meth just make you freak?
If so, why continue using?
Is it an addiction that starts from the first *taste* (ingestion of the drug) - a substance that hooks you so badly the first time you can’t stop?
If so that is so flipping scary I can’t even imagine someone being tempted to *try* it...horrors...

Hopefully this woman will get the help she needs, while the children are kept safe and sound...

Reading the article I see Social Services had some contact with the family previously.
Thank God we didn't hear about this one too late!
Sounds like for once Social Services won - good on them.

peace

Yes, when you're on meth you just freak. Logic becomes twisted as you retreat more and more into yourself and the outside world becomes like a story you once read. "This is wrong" signals are easily blocked or even interpreted as the opposite of what they are. Yup, pure insanity.

Meth? Antidepressants?

That is all I can think.

The chemical version of demonic possession.

I have smoked some meredith and drank alcohal before ( both technically drugs ) and it never made me want to put a human in the oven .......Maybe some snacks but never a human...


There is no excuse. This is a bad person. Sometimes people are just bad, and dumb, and are ignorant and are just bad useless people......They exist and we can do nothing about it. Except to remove those children from that torture.
