I was at a friend’s house about 20 years ago when his brother-in-law and his girlfriend, a daughter, and two dogs came for a visit. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw her. I’d seen her mugshot on TV within the previous two or three years. She’d traded her teen-aged daughter to a couple of black drug dealers for some meth. Through conversation. it turned out that that daughter was at home with a half-black baby. She was probably 17. The one they were traveling with was probably 12.
