On Tuesday, an Illinois mother was charged with a misdemeanor charge of endangering the life and health of a child and two felony counts of unlawful possession of a controlled substance.
Nicole Edwards, 31, from Cottage Hills, Illinois, was charged with after two separate investigations were performed by the Madison County Sheriff’s Office.
The first incident resulted in the aquisition of a substance suspected to be heroin from Edwards’ 11-year-old daughter on January 4, 2012. The daughter reportedly found the capsules containing residual amounts of the substance on a dresser in their home.
