Woman was arrested after her two toddlers tested positive for drugs.

Date published: 10/2/2008

LOUISA, Va. (AP) _ A Louisa County woman arrested after her two toddlers tested positive for drugs has pleaded not guilty to two counts of felony child neglect. A jury trial for 26-year-old Brenda Quarles is scheduled to start February 18 in Louisa County Circuit Court. Quarles and her boyfriend, 25-year-old Derrick Christmas, were arrested in April after a relative noticed their then 3-year-old and 16-month-old boys seemed intoxicated and took them to a hospital. The boys tested positive for cocaine and a prescription sedative. Christmas pleaded not guilty to child neglect charges last week. He also faces drug charges.

Neglect? (posted by navyorchid , Oct. 2, 2008 10:38 am)   
How about attempted murder....people OD from drugs all the time so even a small amount could kill a baby and these individuals are old enough to know that! I hope they are found guilty and receive the maximum sentence! These babies deserve justice!
