In a Sept. 9 affidavit that was filed today in Madison County District Court, Madison Police Sgt. Drew Westrope testified that the girl swallowed dishwashing detergent that was in tablet form at an apartment on Colonial Lake Drive in Madison.

Her father and her stepmother, both of whom have an Enterprise address, "did not seek medical help" for the child "due to (their) state of intoxication, which was the result of ingesting pharmaceutical medication and drinking alcohol," according to the affidavits filed in each case.

Unbelievable

It's a shame some people who deserve children and would make great parents don't get the opportunity and it's squandered on the likes of these two.

Any fool who consumes alcohol is a danger to themselves and society and should be incarcerated.

She was the step-mother, and, don't hold me to it, but I believe the child's biological mother is dead.

It's puzzling why people like this even have children.
