One more sign that Illinois needs to think very carefully before legalizing even medicinal marijuana
Just as the Illinois Senate considering whether or not to legalize medical marijuana this week, this incredible story about the 25 year old Indianapolis mother who forgot about leaving her babies in the bathtub when she got distracted watching the TV show "American Idol."
It was the woman's 7 year old that found her little sister drowning in the tub while her mom stared at the TV screen. Little Sirius Brooks, by God's grace, survived and clings to life six days later. Her mother, Sheila Brooks, hasn't been charged yet because local law officials say little Sirius responds to her mother's voice.
And if that story is not tragic enough, we now learn that police found marijuana in the mother's bedroom where she was mesmerized by "American Idol" . . .
