Throw the book at her.
A Florida mother was arrested this week for endangering her children after police found drugs where her 3-year-old could reach them – including a suspected cocaine “swelling” on a copy of the children’s classic Dr. Seuss, “The cat in the hat.” ”
Casey Quoka, 24, must have had a lot of fun, which was funny on Wednesday – maybe too much, The Smoking Gun reported.
An arrest report in Pinellas County, Florida, claimed that marijuana was found on Quoka’s bed in her home in Largo, while the cocaine-covered volume – with a puff of straw to go with it – and pills considered MDMA , alias ecstasy, were hidden on her nightstand.
Her young son “had access to … the bedroom” and all the drugs were available to the child, according to the criminal complaint.
Quoka was booked on two counts of child neglect and released on $ 4,000 bail.
