The mother of the 1-year old who was treated for an accidental heroin overdose needs help more than jail. The overdose was accidental, she took her child to a hospital for treatment instead of allowing the child to die, and the child is now in state custody. Addiction is disease. This situation could have been much worse if she chose to hide the problem instead of getting help for her child. I hope she turns things around.
