Methadone isn’t illegal. She wasn’t hiding it from the law.
No. That is a specious argument. I’m saying that if drugs are legalized (carte blanche) there will be more of them around, lurking in DayQuil bottles. This mom must have been hiding behind the door when God passed out brains.
First of all, she became addicted.
Second of all, she hid her “help” in an innocuous OTC bottle.
Third of all, she left her precious child in the care of his father without telling him that she had tampered with the OTC medicine. BTW, DayQuil shouldn’t be given to kids anyway.
That’s all we need: more harmful drugs floating around unregulated! NOT!
OTOH, guns are regulated nearly everywhere. And gun education is omnipesent. But, parents who allow their children access to guns were also hiding behind their respective doors when God passed out the brains and common sense.

How about MURDER??
He’s so pleased to be wearing that tie. He looks like a joy.
Liquid Methadone is distributed in {child proof} bottles that are exceedingly difficult even for adults to open. The only reason an addict would switch containers would be if she was selling it or sharing it.
Because daddy gave the child methadone which is a serious heavy duty drug instead of cough syrup . What the hell is daddy doing giving his kid “medicine” from a unmarked bottle.
A Dayquil bottle is hardly unmarked!
Dreadful. RIP.
Can someone explain how legalizing drugs would stop this from happening
It would prevent an expensive Police State, and associated violence and corruption, however.
