A mother and aunt face serious charges this morning after Danville Police say a toddler ingested drugs.
The 18-month old's mother told police the child was stumbling and acting strangely. After running tests at the hospital, the boy tested positive for cocaine.
When police went to search the boy's home on Chestnut street, his aunt refused to let them inside the home.
His mother, 20-year old Ashley Carrier, and his aunt, 24-year old Jessica Coffman, were both charged with first degree assault and wanton endangerment.
The toddler is now at Kentucky Children's Hospital.

whew.. as i read through all of these comments i couldn't help to think, why politicize this, and why trash Danville..Get a grip people.. I seriously doubt these women "gave" that baby cocaine. Leaving it where a kid could get to it is one thing, having it is another. If this kid would have gotten into a bottle of asprin, or chewable vitamins, we wouldn't be having this discussion. I just hope the mother and the aunt get help with their addictions, and that baby has a safe enviroment to grow up in..Let the courts pass judgement...Those of you debating abortion, and birth control are as bad as the person that says execute her..There's a witch burn her!!!

I pray the baby is doing fine. I just want to let people know that when a child is placed in someone elses custody they do a very thoughrow back ground check to make sure that the child is going into a home that will give the child everything the child needs. I know this for a fact. Because I have custody of three children who are my nieces and nephew, and they done a background check all the way to my elementary years. I'm glad they do, that way the children are very well taking care of. If you have anything, even a AI charge you cannot get custody. After 6 months I got full custody because the parents refused rehab. I'm glad they did because I wouldn't take the world for my babies.
