Description

A grandmother’s frantic call about her missing one-year-old grandson led Sarasota police to a disturbing scene involving the child’s mother, Chelsey Bowman, who appeared heavily under the influence. Officers quickly found the baby unharmed, but discovered meth, Xanax, and other drugs in Bowman’s belongings, along with signs she had recently used fentanyl. She was arrested and later sentenced to three years in prison for drug possession and child neglect. Law&Crime’s Elizabeth Millner goes Inside the Crime.

If she gets drug trested 3X a week, someone is not doing their job right at DCF.

She's been clean for a week? She hasn't been clean for an hour.

She is either sky high, or has brain damage from too many drugs. Either way, she shouldn't have responsibility for a dog much less an infant.

Her mother’s call probably saved that baby’s life. Now she needs to take the child away FOREVER!!

She should have never had custody of any child. Preventable.

If they let her have that baby back, blood will be on their hands. She's clearly unfit.

As a recovering addict, you should not get custody of your children back until you’ve been clean 1 full year. Be able to see them? Yes supervised. But full custody no. Just my opinion
