Boy, 10, turns mom in for drug problem [PA]
    #8579265 - 06/29/08 11:47 PM (15 years, 8 months ago)

Boy, 10, turns mom in for drug problem
June 30, 2008 - pennlive.com

Thomas is only 10 years old, but he knows how marijuana looks and smells. He can tell you how to roll a blunt, a type of marijuana cigarette.

He said he learned that from watching his mother, Cori Wagner.

Last July, Thomas got fed up with the knowledge. He was also upset because his mother kept leaving him alone in their Lemoyne apartment, he said.

So he took her stash of marijuana from under her bed and pedaled his bike to the West Shore Regional Police station.

Police charged Wagner, 32, with drug possession and child endangerment.

"I was tired of what was happening," said Thomas, who was 9 when he went to police. "I didn't like the situation I was in -- and I wanted my mom to get help."

The boy, who is living with an aunt in Swatara Twp., spoke about the case during an interview with The Patriot-News. Thomas isn't his real name, which is being withheld to shield his identity. His aunt, Ashley, and father, Donald, asked that their last names not be used for the same reason.

In March, the drug charge against Wagner was dropped when she pleaded guilty to the endangerment charge. A Cumberland County judge sentenced her to 23 months of probation this month.

That disappointed Thomas, who had asked that a stiffer penalty be imposed.

"I wanted her to get a little bit of jail time with extended probation and random drug testing," he said.

Thomas fidgets like a typical 10-year-old but speaks with the savvy of a high schooler. He answered quickly when asked if he gained any of his narcotics knowledge from the Drug Abuse Resistance Education program in school.

"DARE is for fifth-graders," he replied. Thomas had just finished third grade when he went to police. He will start fifth grade this fall.

At court hearings, Wagner denied her son's claims that she took him on at least one drug buy in Harrisburg.

The single, working mother said that she didn't blame Thomas for "exposing my mistake" and that she is now drug-free.

Wagner wouldn't discuss the drug-use allegations for this story but said she didn't neglect her son or leave him unattended or without food, as authorities said. He was in school, in her care, or in a baby sitter's or another relative's care, she said.

Donald, who was never married to Wagner, said he suspected something was amiss before Thomas went to police, "but you could never get out of him what was going on."

Thomas said his mom told him she was going to work and left him alone about 7 a.m. the day he turned her in. He called Ashley and asked her to come get him. She couldn't and suggested he call his dad, who was in Wilkes-Barre.

"He called and said, 'Dad, can you call the police and have them come over here? Mom left me alone again. ... I have her stuff and I want to give it to the cops,'" Donald recalled.

Donald said he called police, who told him they didn't have grounds for a search warrant but could act if Thomas brought them the marijuana.

"I called [Thomas] back and asked, 'Are you sure this is what you want to do?'" Donald said.

He called police again to say Thomas was on his way as the boy rode six blocks to the station.

"I truly believe he might have saved his life as well as hers," Ashley said.

Thomas, who said he wants to be a military policeman, vowed to never use illegal drugs. "I've seen what it can do to you. It's not very pleasant," he said.

Ashley and Donald said Thomas is in counseling and is doing better in school, where he'd had disciplinary problems.

Wagner said one reason she pleaded guilty to the misdemeanor endangerment charge was to spare her son the trauma of a trial.

"I didn't feel that my son should have to sit in a courtroom and testify against his mother," Wagner said.

She said she wants to resume supervised visits with the boy and rebuild their relationship.

"I love my son to death," Wagner said. "He could stick a knife in my heart and twist it and it wouldn't change how I feel about my child."

Thomas said he wants to build a better relationship with his mother -- with conditions.

"She's my mom. I love her. But she needs to grow up a little," he said.

What's even more disturbing is the father. Instead of going to pick up his son who was left alone while his mother was working trying to put food on the table and a roof over her unappreciative sons head, the father decided to let him ride his bicycle six blocks by himself so that his mom would get arrested.

People make me sick.

Good for the kid, the parent shouldn't leave the kid alone unattended and i can only assume also uncared for in other ways.  All the while living it up spending money and time somewhere else than where it should be spent.  Honestly its not about the pot though it does set a bad example, any obsession that takes someone away from the important things in there life is wrong.


Or on the other hand i could also see another adult family member coaxing the kid into doing it.

Ironic that the paper calls itself the patriot while supporting a tattle tail police state.

This kid will deserve the abuse he gets when he winds up with CPS.. Who btw.. has a much greater rate of abusing children than the parents from which they are STOLEN from.

Warning.. The public learning prison will brainwash your children.

AH! Children turning in parents for breaking laws against altering your state of mind. An act that is legal and prescribed for some in this country?! Are they the spies now? what would George Orwell say?

Yeah. His mum might have neglected him, but would you rather get raped, or left alone?

He's unwittingly made that choice now.
