Daycare worker in Wisconsin charged for a baby boy testing positive for cocaine.
A shocking incident in Oak Creek, Wisconsin has left parents and authorities in disbelief. It all started when a 1-year-old boy, who attended KinderCare daycare, was found with cocaine in his system. As a result, the daycare worker, Passion Watson, has been criminally charged with possession of cocaine on or near certain places.

The boy's mother, Kimberly Hopson, was understandably furious and demanded additional charges to be brought against Watson. At a press conference, she tearfully expressed her devastation, saying, "My life is forever changed. How could you do that to an innocent baby? Every day, he is coming here thinking he's safe. I can't imagine how scared he was."

Her suspicions were raised when she picked up her son, Prince, from daycare and noticed bruises, a black eye, scratches, and marks on his body. She immediately took him to Children's Wisconsin for evaluation, where a urine test revealed the presence of cocaine. This was a terrifying discovery for Hopson, and she couldn't understand how her baby could have ingested such a dangerous substance.

The police were notified and they searched Hopson's home, but found no evidence of drug possession. Hopson expressed her frustration, saying, "Can you imagine coming to your house threatening to take your kids over cocaine? That's ridiculous."

The authorities then turned their attention to the daycare and a K-9 unit found cocaine in Watson's unzipped backpack, which was carelessly left in an unlocked closet with a toddler's jacket on top. It's still unclear how the baby was exposed to the cocaine, but Hopson believes that Watson should face additional charges for neglect, due to the bruises on her son's body.

Since ingesting the cocaine, Prince has not been the same. Hopson described him as "reckless" and "agitated," saying that he no longer plays with his toys like he used to. This is a concerning change in behavior for a child of his age.

At the press conference, Hopson was joined by her lawyer, civil rights attorney B'Ivory LaMarr, who strongly condemned the daycare for endangering the health and safety of a child. He stated, "He was... poisoned by the same individuals who were supposed to safeguard his well-being."

In her defense, Watson claimed that she only uses cocaine socially, about two times a month, and has no idea how the drugs ended up in her bag or how the baby was exposed to them. Despite this, she was only given a misdemeanor drug possession charge. However, LaMarr argued that this is not enough, and that neglect charges should also be pursued.

"We are seeking neglect charges, which have been forwarded to the District Attorney's office and we demand that these charges be pursued," LaMarr declared.

This disturbing incident has caused outrage among parents and the community. It's a stark reminder of the importance of ensuring the safety and well-being of children in daycare centers. No child should ever have to endure such a terrifying and potentially life-threatening experience.
