Mother's struggle with drug exposure in custody battle
In a recent court hearing, a mother faced scrutiny regarding the drug test results of her three children, all of whom tested positive for multiple substances, including cocaine and methamphetamine. The mother, who is currently living with her parents, denied any responsibility for the children's exposure to drugs, stating she had not been around them during the time of the tests.

When questioned about the source of the drugs found in her children's systems, she expressed uncertainty, admitting that while she had smoked in the car prior to visiting them, she could not definitively say how the drugs entered their systems. The mother suggested that the positive tests could potentially be linked to clothing she had purchased for them, although she acknowledged that methamphetamine is a substance she has used.

The court also addressed the mother's ongoing legal issues, including a motion to revoke her probation due to missed court appearances and failure to complete a mandated shoplifting class. She contended that her probation issues stemmed from misunderstandings regarding payment processes rather than drug-related failures. However, the court highlighted that the evidence presented indicated her noncompliance with reporting requirements and class attendance as significant factors in her legal troubles.

The hearing underscored the complexities of the case, as the mother navigates her sobriety journey while facing serious allegations regarding her children's welfare. The court's focus on the children's safety and the mother's accountability remains a central theme as proceedings continue.
