沒人性! 美國一對夫妻竟給自己的3個孩子注射海洛因!
A young couple in the US state of Washington are accused of injecting three young children with heroin to "make them go to sleep".
日前,美國華盛頓一對年輕夫婦被指控給自己三個年幼的孩子注射海洛因,其原因是想讓他們“睡覺”。Police say Ashlee Hutt and Mac Leroy McIver were found living with three children, aged six, four and two, among rat droppings, drug needles and heroin.
據警方表示,阿什莉·赫特和麥克·勒羅伊·麥基弗共育有三個孩子(分別6歲、4歲和2歲大),他們終日和老鼠屎、毒品注射針頭和海洛因生活在一起。Ms Hutt appeared in court last Monday and faces child endangerment charges. Mr McIver faces similar charges. The three children were removed from the home last November.
上週一,阿什莉·赫特出現在法庭,她面臨着危害兒童的指控,而麥克·勒羅伊·麥基弗也面臨着同樣的指控。去年十一月,這三個孩子就已經從那個家中被接走了。
Pierce County Sheriff's Department spokesman Ed Troyer told The Washington Post: "The kids lived in deplorable conditions. It wasn't a good living situation even without the issue of heroin."
皮爾斯郡警局發言人埃德·特羅耶向《華盛頓郵報》透露稱:“孩子們曾經生活在及其惡劣的環境之下。即使撇開海洛因的問題不論,那兒也談不上是一個好的居住環境。”According to court documents, the six-year-old told investigators the couple gave him "feel good medicine" which he described "as white powder which was mixed with water" and injected with needles.
根據法庭文件顯示,那名6歲的孩子對調查人員表示,他的父母給了他一種讓他“感覺很好的藥物”,據其描述那藥物是“白色的粉末,和水混在一起”,然後用針頭注射到身體裏。Two of the children tested positive for the drug, and puncture marks and bruising, consistent with needle injections were also found on the children's bodies, according to reports.
據報道,其中兩個孩子的毒品檢測呈陽性,還在身上發現了刺傷和擦傷。此外,孩子們身上還發現了另外一些符合針頭注射毒品的痕跡。Both Ms Hutt and Mr McIver have pleaded not guilty to the charges, though they both admitted to being heroin users.
阿什莉·赫特和麥克·勒羅伊·麥基弗都拒不認罪,但是兩人都承認自己確實吸食海洛因。
