        Tara Slocum* get the name right if you’re going to insult somebody.
        And she is a bad person, but show a little decency.

        Tia, I really understand how angry you must be and I am really sorry that there are so many heartless ppl who can leave comments that must really hurt to read. She is not a bad person, she is a sick person, big difference. I’m hoping that you are getting some positive support to help you through all of this. Try to ignore the ignorance of most of the commenters, I’m sure they have never made any mistakes and live pure lives. The saying, “those who live without sin may cast the first stone”, rings true here. My heart goes out to you………..

        I once had a brother in law named Eddie Slocum. It was a very long time ago and I am from Boston so I am sure it is not a relative of yours.

      That’s where your WRONG, we can absolutely control our kids!! We are the parents, what we say is the law the our children, weather they are 2 or 32. If you have properly raised your child to respect you and your wish then you can influentially control their decision making. To many parents say, “I can’t control what they do all I can do is be there friend”, wrong you are not your child’s friend you are their parent and parents need to act so. The moment you become your child’s friend is the moment they start treating you like one of their friends and stop respecting you as an adult and as their parent.

        Tara’s actions are not the result of her parents giving her a poor upbringing. I know this because they are my parents. My parents are both loving and hardworking people. They have done everything that they can for us and always will until the day they die. I don’t like my sister, so I understand any negative feeling for her. We’ve never been on good terms. So say what you will about her, but just know that our parents are the best parents. I couldn’t ask for more supportive people in my life. They have taught me everything I know about hard work, dedication, honesty, and love. They taught me how to be an independent person, but always give me support whenever I need it. Tara is not a reflection of bad parenting. She is a reflection of the people with whom she spends her time, which is not her family, it’s other lonely, sad substance abusers. So I would hesitate before you judge good people that you don’t know. Think about the people you are affecting by spreading your unnecessary negativity. Her twelve year old daughter, who is lovingly cared for by these so called “bad parents,” is reading these things you’re saying about her mother and her grandparents.

        And before you begin judging me, too, let me just stop you there. I’m a 21 year old, independent young woman. I attend UVM on a full tuition merit-based scholarship because I have always worked hard, something our parents taught me. I don’t do drugs or even drink, really. I dedicate most of my time to student leadership and community service. And I’m about to graduate with a near-perfect GPA in the spring, and hopefully go on to receive my Master’s degree in education in the next few years. I’m a fairly modest person, but I just need you to know, that I am what I am because my parents are good people. They have cared for me, my brother, and even my sister in all of her chaos. They’ve continued to care for my sister’s children, too, because that’s what they are, good, loving, caring people. She is an adult. My parents don’t have control over her. The only person who can control her is herself. Hopefully she’ll learn how to. I feel bad for your children will have such a skewed, disturbing perspective of autonomy and parenthood if you plan to “control” them until the day you die.

        Stop preaching the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. It doesn’t matter what tree you fall from, some apples are good, and some are just rotten.

        Thank You for sharing. This is a prime example of how one person who is addicted and their actions affects their entire family. I’m glad to hear that Tia has good support from your loving family. I agree with you about the heartless comments that she is having to deal with and how the ignorance of so many are hurting her when she needs the exact opposite. I wish you and your family the best during this difficult time. Congratulations on your accomplishments. Your an excellent role model for Tia and she can see that there are better ways to live her life. Your parents must be very proud of you.

      Does a “druggie” have a certain look!!! Addiction is a disease and sometimes unfortunately is does affect “good people”.

    So very sad. I hope that they are able to get the help they need to turn their lives around. I pass NO judgement. BUT for the Grace of God it could be me.

    The problem is that we don’t have adequate treatment centers for our addicted people. It is a sickness. People need a place to go and get the help they need without fear of getting arrested. Once hooked on any drug it is hard to stop it on your own. We will never fix the problem by just putting addicts into jail. They need special care to get off the drugs they are on. More treatment centers would make a big difference in our drug problems. Also some compassion wouldn’t hurt.

      I agree wholeheartedly and I’m so glad to see that there are others who realise that this is a terrible disease that is totally out of control. I went rounds with a very ignorant person on another site pertaining to this story who insisted that it was a “choice”. I can’t handle ignorance! I’m hoping that these folks are able to get some help and can turn their lives around. I really hope they realise how lucky they are to still be alive because many don’t get a second chance at all.

        It is a choice… who told them to take a hit the very first time or take the pill or stick themselves no one forced them to do it. so if you really look at it it is their fault they got addicted to the crap. if they would have not tried it they wouldnt be addicted to it. you cant have a addiction if you dont try something. then you have people who want to say its not thier fault the person is addicted its a disease so ecplain how it is a disease if you have the choice to try something you dont just wake up or are born and say lets go get high your influenced by your friends or movies or just to fit in either way you spin it it started out as a choice. watch who you let influence you.

    CUPCAKE HAS BEEN SELLING SINCE SHE WAS ABOUT 16. Lock her up throw away the key and let the new dealers move in to take over. Start with the source so the dealers have nothing to sell.

    And what do they do when they go into treatment? They make them legal drug addicts by prescribing suboxin (I don’t know how it’s spelled). Then they’re out on the street hooked on another drug. Yes they’re supposed to wean off of it but most just go on and abuse it and when they can’t get it anymore they go to buying it off the street. Put them in jail and make it so they don’t ever want to go to jail again, not like a free vacation. If you’re gonna play with the illegal and endanger others lives, you deserve to do the time.

    It is sad to see..but something has to be done! These people chose to do a drug…and then they became addicted. I have struggled with my own demons and continue to better myself. I went through a program where I had the best care and support! I own my own home, am a parent to an amazing child, and am attending college on a full ride because of my hard work and dedication. My heart goes out to the families of these individuals…it’s not their choice to have addicts for children or relatives, and they shouldn’t be blamed. Everyone makes choices in their lives, and this is the end result of the individuals involved. They will most likely continue on this path until they die…which is very sad! But, they chose to do the drug and therefore became addicted. It’s a hard habit to stop…but if you are strong and seek help..there is a community out there that is ready with open arms! Check out the movie: Anonymous People. It is amazing how many people have been effected by an addiction in one way or another, and they chose to change their lives and better themselves. We only get one life….we need to work hard to nurture ourselves and our children, so that the future of this world doesn’t go to despair. I know some don’t want to hear it but it’s the Truth. Please keep an open mind, and know that there are people out there who can help if you are willing to put in the work. Spread Love, not Hate. We need to come together to fight this problem that is effecting everyone around us.
