Teen mom charged after kids took crack
Teen mom charged after three young KC children ingest crack

Prosecutors charged a Kansas City teenager with child endangerment after her 2-year-old son and two other young children ingested crack cocaine.

One of the children suffered seizures and was taken to Children’s Mercy Hospital.

Tasha Cole, 17, faces four counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Jackson County prosecutors requested a $75,000 bond.

After giving police several false stories, Cole admitted that she was out selling some of the drugs when she returned to the apartment where a friend was supposed to be watching the children, according to the affidavit filed in court to support the charges.

2. Helloooo-oooh! She *was* out working and building a future for her family.
Sigh. Some people are never satisfied.

5. Not at all unusual these days
Sadly, I have known quite a few 15 year old mothers.

8. What ugly, racist comments
Thank goodness all white people aren't like them.

When I heard the news,
My heart fell on the floor
I was on a plane on my way to Baltimore
In these trouble times its hard enough as it is
My soul has a known a better life than this

I wonder how so many can be in so much pain,
While others don't seem to feel a thing
Then I curse my whiteness,
and I get so damn depressed,
In a world with suffering,
Why should I be so blessed?

I heard about a women who lives in Colorado,
She built a monoment of sorts behind the garage door
Where everyday she prays for all whom are born
And all whose souls have passed on
Sometimes my trouble gets so thick
I can't see how Im gonna get through it
but then I'd rather be stuck up in a tree
Then be tied to it

There is so much more.

--Brett Dennen

11. I was born in KC and the comments don't surprise me at all
The region is rife with overt racism.

13. It is so repulsive
Every single crime story has the most horrible racist comments. And when the minutemen were here in Feb, those comments were really horrible.

This community is so divided. It is sad. There are so many good people who live here.
