In Bridgeport, Connecticut police officers were waved down by a neighbor in June complaining that a woman was feeding her children beer at a playground. Police spotted Juliette Dunn and Lisa Jefferson sitting in folding chairs as the children (10 months and 4 years) played. Police saw an empty beer bottle near the 4-year-old. They also had seen a baby bottle near the child that was filled with what appeared to be alcohol. Authorities took the children into custody and tested both children for drugs and alcohol. The 4-year-old son tested positive for alcohol and the 10-month-old daughter tested positive for alcohol and cocaine. Dunn admitted to giving her son a bottle of beer everyday. Lisa Jefferson pleaded guilty to the same charges. When the boy was questioned by a social worker, he was able to list of brands that he like and ones that he didn't. The children were turned over to the Department of Children and Families after Dunn's arrest. When the judge sentences the women in December, they could both face up to two years each in prison. This is an awful thing to do. This woman should have never had children! They should be facing way longer that JUST two years in prison!!!
