The woman also admitted giving the boy and her 15-year-old niece heroin and cocaine. The 12-year-old was eating spaghetti in the basement of the home Jan. 24 when Jacqueline Ellen Vuich, 25, allegedly took a syringe and injected the drugs near the elbow, according to police. Relatives rushed the unconscious boy to the emergency room. He was treated for a heroin overdose at a Warren hospital. A blood test showed heroin in the 12-year-old's system. Vuich pleaded guilty Nov. 2 to delivery of narcotics to a minor, child abuse, maintaining a drug house and keeping a person younger than 16 in a home where prostitution occurred. She was sentenced Wednesday. Her lawyer said the woman's upbringing was a factor in her behavior. The drug offenses happened in Warren, Mich., at the house of Vuich's 47-year-old mother, Jan Catton. The mother pleaded no contest to maintaining a drug house and a house of prostitution and received two years' probation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was just teaching him a lesson about the dangers of drugs. We should encourage all parents to do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
