Mommy and Daddy appealed their resultant drug sentence, however, because their nine-year-old was improperly interrogated without any warnings or counsel. By improperly interrogated, of course, they mean that their child blamed her school behavioral woes to the guidance counselor on the fact that her parents were on drug runs a lot and burning a few down in the homestead.
Hoyt [guidance counselor] spoke with T.H. [kid] in another part of the school. T.H. said that the “stuff” that she previously had mentioned to Westerfield was marijuana and that she saw it in her home every day. She also told Hoyt that her mother and Jay often went on drug runs and either left her home alone or brought her along. T.H. told Hoyt that she had been left alone many times, that her mother and Jay smoked “blunts” in the home, that she had seen marijuana on the kitchen table, and that she saw it on top of her mother’s bedroom dresser the previous night.
"Honey, if you don't make the nine-year-old smoke it, she's gonna remember everything!"
