K.C. Teen Nominated for the "Mom of the Year" Award

Kansas City, Mo. denizen and devoted mother, 17-year-old Tasha Cole, was out selling crack to make ends meet the other evening, and thought that it would be a good idea to leave her toddler with another crack-head and her two young children. Rizzo at the Falling Star reports:

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.

Stories like this are appearing more often, since Republican President George W. Bush, whom anonymous sources say is responsible for wrecking the economy and orchestrating the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, was elevated to power by the Supreme Court in 2000 in a highly controversial election marred by rampant right-wing voter fraud.
