It is unreasonable to ask others to spend their time, energy, and money on dead beat humans like drug addicts and single mothers. Think if we had all the taxes back from LBJ's War on Poverty. Imagine, if instead of spending tax money on dead beats, instead we spent it on productive people. A good student gets free college instead of teen mom getting free food and housing. A law-abiding citizen gets a low interest home loan instead of a drug addict getting his 25th free ER visit. You get what you pay for and people like you pay for the worst people, so that's we keep getting more of.

To all the addicts trying to get and stay clean… one small thing you can do to help yourself is change your environment and friends. Quit hanging around anyone that uses and find new friends that are sober. My brother, after he got clean, was in a convenience store and there was a cop in line ahead of him about his age. He tapped him on the shoulder and said “I was wondering if you could help me, I just moved to town and I’m an ex con, drug addict trying to stay clean. What’s there to do after work in this town that isn’t hanging out in a bar?” That cop invited him to play in the departments softball league and there he met a bunch of other cops and firemen. He made several friends and later one of his firemen friends got him on the volunteer fire dept and they paid for him to get his EMT certification, which let to a different career. Surround yourself with people who lift you UP, not drag you down.

I'll live in severe pain the rest of my life but I'm OK with that as I'm able to live, go to my sons travel ball games,hug my kids. The dr i was seeing for my injury is in prison as a few years after I stopped taking pills he was arrested for selling scripts.

And while yes, they do get clean, but in an environment where the inmate is forced to lead an extremely self centered life… jail/prison is something you have to survive, and is in no way conducive to living an ordinary, productive life.

As an addict, I thought dealers were "just feeding their families." If it wasn't him, it'd be someone else. That was until I couldn't contact any dealers and was forced to get clean. I've been clean about 12 years, and with a clear mind, I'm glad they go after them so hard. Yes, it is a choice to start using, but once you're hooked, people take advantage. The average it takes to try to get clean is 9 times, and it's even higher with opiates. I told my dr I'd heard 1 in 10 get and stay clean. She said that's shocking because she wouldn't guess even 1 in 100. I say this to try to show you how impossible it is for most. It seems impossible, and it was literally the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. If that's you, you CAN do it. It takes a lot of hard work, but you aren't a wimp.

After two years of overdosing and on meth and herion I left my daughter’s dad and went to rehab. He went to prison after we split. I kept using after leaving him n going to rehab, but then One day I got a call that my daughters dad was out for months and sober fighting for rights of our daughter, I went home that day to my mom and daughter and I got in outpatient and got sober. Almost 7 years we’ve been doing soooo gooood and there’s no going back. My fiancé now beat the cycle of it in his family and I saved my own life by recognizing the chance to have my family back. I’m so happy with my life it’s unbelievable…. If you feel like you can’t do it you really can you literally JUST have to want it.

I'm proud of you for taking control of your life. Never stop fighting!

Man you made her look so much better in the thumbnail 💀

Jared cares more about his dealer than his child and Mother.

[@neurohack9038]

I don’t know about angels, but it’s fear that gives men wings.

[@annamariavalatka636]

I agree

[@ClotildaBeatissima]

I don't think that's necessarily true. Turning his dealer in could have gotten his child and mother killed in retaliation.

[@Thefatcatcrochets24]

Or he's too scared of the repercussions

[@jameshendley1975]

Sad but true

Clickbait thumbnail and video title

[@CaptainDatsun]

The title may have been misleading but the thumbnail was a frame from the video

[@josephmanktelow3560]

Sounds like you didn't stay long enough for the second video 😂🎉

[@ytToxicDreams]

Not really 😂

[@doc7434]

Yep, the title implies these cases are connected. It also implies she actually got charged with something serious, she didn't. Clickbait 101.

I love how they could have multiple needles on the floor, a rubber band on their arm, just got revived and yet they still will deny using.

The world needs more cops and people in charge like this! They are caring, non-judgemental, and really care for these people. I work in healthcare and its so life changing to have a good disposition like this! Even the officer arresting Jared, really gave it his all.

that cute kid has MOUNTAINS to climb. how dare you burden your child when she should be safe and protected from the horrors of the world.
