Another "face of meth..."

Not only stoned out of her gourd on meth, driving around, with 2 little kids in her car!



A 35-year-old Sheboygan woman was arrested after driving to Kwik Trip while under the influence on March 7 with two children in the car.

Vanessa C. Molina was charged with third offense operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, a felony, operating while revoked, and several counts of misdemeanor bail jumping in connection with the incident.

Income inequality. Lack of health care.

Poor things. Help is needed, not handcuffs.

she obviously cant help herself. she can have all the health care in the world but not have a desire to use it. even people who get all the help they could ever want will run away from the center or clinic to go use again. addiction is so powerful it can over-ride self control

She endangered those kids and everyone else on the road by driving in that condition. Drug use and addiction by themselves shouldn't be crimes, I agree with that.
