Oxycodone.jpg

Update: It was awhile ago, so we’ll forgive you if you forget the lovely Conneaut parents who dosed their kids with Oxycodone so that their dad, who was taking Oxy like prescribed, but also weed, which was not prescribed, could pass a piss test.

Well, the mom in the case was just sentenced to two years in prison on child endangerment charges. Pops is still waiting sentencing. The kids have been permanently removed from their custody. (Star Beacon)

Here’s a dilemma: You’ve scored a prescription for Oxycodone to nullify some ongoing pain. The problem is that you have to take urine tests to show doctors that you’re either using the drug correctly and/or not supplementing the Oxycodone with illegal drugs as well, and you really like to use some recreational drugs.

How do you procure urine that has Oxycodone in it but not, say, marijuana? If you’re this father from Conneaut, you take some of your Oxycodone pills, crush them up, feed them to your four young children — ages 6 through 10 — and collect their urine for your tests.

The Ashtabula Star Beacon reports on this sorta ingenious but seriously disturbing story:

  1. Only scumbags would do this to their children. I have to feel really sorry for these children because they don’t have real parents. Feeding children drugs which could be harmful to them in the long run so one can pass a urine test is so low…sad to say, I’m not surprised this happens. This couple is beyond hope and hopefully social services will find these children new homes. I am surprised that a mother would allow her children to be used in this way. Hopefully these parents will get some ‘lock-up’ time. And I’d even go so far to say both parents should be ’neutered’ so they don’t reproduce more children into their misery.

  4. What a waste of drugs … no, wait … sorry (didn’t mean to blurt that out). This guy maybe has just started a cycle in one or more of his kids that will turn out to be a life-long battle with addiction. The personal freedoms of the average “Joe” have been limited to a point where the government has to know everything he does. And because of the nature of addiction, this stuff will continue even at the expense of a child’s well-being. Write the Rx or don’t – if there is this kind of doubt involved, don’t write the Rx. (Note to Dad: Man up, a$$hole and either admit you smoke pot or give up the oxycodone.)

  6. wow, now this is sad, I mean own that shit, why use ur children, to as they say get ur cake and eat it to, fck that shit man!
