Kinda fucked up how the law assumes you're neglecting your kids just because you have a hobby going on. It's not really neglect, and it's only endangerment because of the danger of cops busting in and taking them.

Meanwhile how many alcoholic and or abusive parents keep their kids
-------------------- Don't worry about me, I've got all that I need. And I'm singing my song to the sky You know how it feels, With the breeze of the sun in your eyes. Not minding that time's passing by I've got all and more, My smile, just as before. Is all that I carry with me I talk to myself, I need nobody else. I'm lost and I'm mine, yes I'm free

The location matches, someone here probably knows him, and his name including UHS suggests he went to union high school and didn't do very good OPSEC.

Hm, I read it the other way, they called the DSS when they found children while searching the house for the drug stuff.

Unfortunately the state does the same thing with kids as they would for a meth lab or mushroom grow op. It's all "drugs" to them.

It's a shame. I always wonder how they got discovered when I see these articles. Maybe someone they were selling to flipped on them.

Who knows, but they were armed with a search warrant. Someone let them know what was up.

Must have brought in some real experts. Apparently this mushroom lab had a ventilation hood and not a laminar flow hood.

As if to suggest that mushrooms have some kind of exhaust that needs ventilation...?
