just heartbroken and sickened

So today my husband calls and tells me my old best ffriend is in serious trouble for shaken baby syndrome, child abuse, and drugs. We haven't talked since I turned her in for child endangerment with meth 2 and a half years ago. She admittes ti rolling a hot saucepan over a 14 mo old girls face then scrubbing it to get blisters off, shaking her repeatedly, and placing a blanket over her face and her hand over the blanket on her mouth until she turned blue. How heartbreaking. How can anyone do this to a baby. I'm just sickened by it.

She has two kids of her own, it has me thinking what has she done to her own kids? I know the report says they appeared unharmed but I know steph. I know what she's done in the past and now what She has admitted to doing to that poor baby girl. I could never harm my kids or anyone elses. And drugs is no excuse in my book. I'm so very thankful to have cleaned up my life. And I couldnt possibly thank my husband any more for the ultimatum of her as a friend or our marriage and family. Like he said.. you cant be a recovering addict( which as with any addiction yiur always recovering) and best friends with someone who is still very much addicted and not fall back in. Thank God for helping me make a major change in my life all those years ago. You never think you could ever know anyone like that.
Someday when my babies ask me if I ever did drugs I will be honest and use this as an example of the choices we make and how sad and serious it can be. How the paths we take alter so many life even if not for years aftrrwards.

I heard this same exact story yesterday in my town, only it was the mother's friend and the friend's boyfriend that allegedly did all of these terrible things.

Awe :( I couldn't imagine being so heartless! You are a strong woman to go against a friend and advocate for the unborn and born babies she affected

The baby is in CO In stable condition but its so sad cuz she'll always have some permanant reminder or what was done to her IF she is able to recover from this. I'm just so sad for that baby. The other falling out in our friendship was her drunken confession one night two and a half years ago that she was able to induce her own labor at 22weeks and her son died. I'm sorry but that's murder to me!! But he never took a breath outside the wom, making him only a fetus, not a human baby. Which to me is bs!!!!!! Abd I couldn't prove she admitted it so it was chalked up to a still born at 22weeks.  I'm so angry. I tried warning them she had no business around kids!
