Parents of the Month: 3-month old baby high on crack

Funny...they don't look like crack heads...

These two Austin-area “parents” should:

• Be rendered physically unable to ever again breed
• Never get custody or be allowed to see their baby again. Ever.
• Spend a whole lot of years in prison.

Two parents are facing child endangerment charges after they exposed their son, who was 3 months old at the time, to high levels of cocaine last year, according to an arrest affidavit issued Thursday .

Amado Ravelos , 26 , told police that he and his wife, Patricia , 23 , were addicted to crack cocaine and spent at least $5,000 a week on the habit in July while the boy stayed with them at an Econo Lodge on U.S. 290 East near Interstate 35, the arrest affidavit said. They face up to two years in state jail if convicted on the child endangerment charge.

The couple told police that they had a drug binge shortly after Amado Ravelos received a $175,000 lawsuit settlement after being hit by a vehicle, the affidavit said.

“Amado stated that for days the room would be full of crack cocaine smoke,” the affidavit said. “Amado took full responsibility for the cocaine in the victim’s system, stating he and Patricia smoked a lot of cocaine with the victim in the same room.”

And people want to legalize drugs why? Any doubt that this degenerate was smoking crack while she was pregnant with her baby, too?

I doubt that there is a penny left of that $175K — money that could have gone to buying a house, a car, and taking care of their baby. Confiscate it from these two low-lifes and put it into a trust for their child.
