My son has been charged with child endangerment after overdosing while caring for his 7-month-old son, resulting in a rage that trashed the house. He is currently in jail awaiting formal charges, and the child's mother, his girlfriend, is being threatened by the police with neglect charges if she does not provide a sworn statement.
