BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (Associated Press / The Huffington Post) -- A Connecticut mother has pleaded guilty to charges that she forced her 4-year-old son to drink beer and gave her 10-month-old daughter beer and cocaine.

Juliette Dunn, 29, of Bridgeport, was charged after a witness waved down police and complained about a woman giving beer to children at a playground.

Dunn's son was reportedly seen drinking from a 40-ounce bottle of Steel Reserve. Her daughter's bottle was said to be filled with alcohol.

A companion, 33-year-old Lisa Jefferson, pleaded guilty to the same charges.

The children were turned over to the Department of Children and Families after 29-year-old Dunn's arrest. Custody hasn't been decided.

It's unknown if either woman has a lawyer.

Sure makes the kids easier to take care of when they're drunk or stoned out of their minds. Great mom.

I wonder if this woman gets welfare, and if she does, why is she still getting it. I don't think cocaine can be bought at the meat department. Yeah, let me get 3 poke-chops and an 8ball. You take stamps?

What this woman receives is her personal business, that is just like me asking if you receive welfare. She committed a crime and what she did would not make me wonder what type of public assistance she is receiving but what is her mental status....IJS

How does that change anything? She's a criminal. Her financial status makes no difference at all. Would it be okay then if she were wealthy? "Poke chops"? Really? Do you even recognize your own flaws?

Damn liberals, trying to tell people how to raise their kids. Soon we won't be able to let them shoot guns to defend themselves on the playground.

- A Connecticut mother has pleaded guilty to charges that she forced her 4-year-old son to drink beer and gave her 10-month-old daughter beer and cocaine.
Why not? At this point in time, her life is ruined. What were the probably factors that led to her doing being a child assassin? The recurring risk factors in her failure to thrive were...
1. Her father wasn’t worth a damn; even if he was around (strongly doubt) he was apathetic towards his responsibilities as a man.
2. She was the beneficiary of constant arguing, fussing and fighting in her “home” and sought the residing in the realm of fantasy a large percentage of the time. She didn’t develop a disciplined mind to live in reality.
3. With her undisciplined mind, didn’t develop good academic basics and school-like virtually everything in her life- became a painful experience.
4. Escapism was her technique to ease her pain and frustrations; sadly reliance upon alcohol, drugs and sexual pleasure (with the resulting unwanted child(ren) were the predictable traps for her to allow the “failure to thrive” history to repeat itself. The friends she keeps have also been set up to fail…before they were born.. Misery loves company.
5. Unwanted, unloved and her undisciplined mind has led to chronic anger and the desire to hurt or corrupt anything that is innocent. This pattern of “failure to thrive” will lead to, high abortion rates, homicide rates and suicide rates.

Who will be first to condemn Big Government's interference with her family values? No Ayn Rand fans up yet? This is where the self-interested go-getter marches right past that playground on their way to brilliant success. This case is also one where, even those who champion a woman's "right to choose," must draw the line. The world must seem a bad, frightening place to those little kids right now. I hope Connecticut can find them good foster care, despite inevitable (?) budget cuts, and eventual adoption by people who want children. More love, less Ritalin.

I hope my Italian friends tell me how to spell it correctly, but this "BUCYAC" needs the needle, before everyone goes all P.C. on me for saying this, I'm black and still thinks she should get the needle.

She looks like her elevator doesn't go all the way to the top. That may be the real issue here.

Not so much what she looks like, but to do that while at a playground (or to do that at all, of course, but especially in plain view of others?) Surely there must be wires not connected somewhere.
