Police: Mom Gave Child Alcohol, Marijuana On Birthday

[GaryC 7]

ANDERSON, Ind. -- An Anderson woman was arrested this week on suspicion of letting her 11-year-old daughter drink alcohol and smoke marijuana on the child's birthday, police said.

Davita N. Fuller, 26, was arrested Wednesday on a felony charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

The girl alleged Fuller gave her the alcohol and marijuana and offered it to three of her 11-year-old friends during the child's birthday party at Fuller's home Feb. 1, police said.

The girl claimed she took one drink of alcohol and puffed on the marijuana once, and that her friends declined her mother's offer, police said.

The three friends corroborated the girl's story, Anderson police Detective Joel Sandefur told 6News' Cheryl Jackson Thursday.

Fuller told investigators that she was smoking marijuana and drinking beer with her adult friends at the child's party, but she denied giving those things to her daughter, police said.

"Fuller claims she gave her daughter a certain look that has been interpreted in past incidents that she (victim) is to leave the room when adults are smoking marijuana," Anderson police said in a news release.

Police said the girl made the allegations to a Department of Child Services worker during an interview at her school. Information on what led to the interview wasn't available.

Fuller had posted bond by Thursday afternoon, police said. Information on who had custody of the girl Thursday wasn't available.

Why are there so many psycho mothers??? Whether the mother gave her daughter the drugs or whether she was smoking marijuana with other adults @ her daughter's party is still very sick!!! She needs psychiatric help either way! The mere fact that she's on drugs that is already cause for alarm!

yikes!

Big deal. It's the best way to make sure the child does not grow up to be an alcoholic.

My parents gave me beer when I was 7 or 8, and I really hated it! I never tried it again until I was, well, much older.

That mother is not right in the head. At all.

I was always offered alcohol in my home growing up. Mainly at Christmas (and mostly after the age of 12/13). It wasn't an issue in our household and I always declined as I didn't like the taste. I grew up not thinking of alcohol as a "taboo" and I never binged on booze nor craved it. In fact, most of my late teens and early twenties was spent without imbibing alcohol.

Now, I'm not saying I think this was a good decision on the mother's part (especially the pot) but in Europe this wouldn't be seen as odd. It also isn't illegal (the alcohol part).
