Why This Can't Be News:

Oh boy, oh boy Lets dive into this clusterfuck that has Mississippi reeling and making headlines on the national stage. Prepare yourselves, folks, because were about to break down one of the most messed-up stories in recent memory: a baby getting high at daycare. First off, let me paint you a picture: Marla Demita enters her local daycare, Little Blessings Daycare (seriously, what kind of name is that for a place where babies are dropping meth? Talk about an oxymoron). Her 9-month-old son, Deanyes, the same Dean who supposedly lights up with joy when he sees his momis suddenly acting like hes been dropped into The Shining. Hes crying uncontrollably and seems to have no clue who this woman in front of him is. Spoiler alert: its his own mother. Talk about a bad day at daycare. But here comes the kickerwhen Dean gets tested later that night, guess what they find? Methamphetamine. Thats right, folks. A baby who should be playing with blocks and teething rings was rocking some serious street cred by accident (we hope). The parents take him to Children's of Mississippi hospital in Jackson, where he thrashes around like a tiny meth mule on a bad trip for the entire hour-and-a-half drive there. I mean, imagine that. A baby doing the head bob while screaming? Its like watching an avant-garde performance with a toddler as your main star. The Mississippi Department of Health swoops in and fines Little Blessings Daycare $50. Wait, what?! Fifty bucks to fix this mess? That's like giving someone who set their house on fire a parking ticket for leaving the car unattended. The daycare director, Lisa Martin, didn't even report it properly, which is why they got fined. But hey, at least shes consistentshe probably doesnt report much of anything because you know, meth babies and all. Now, let's talk about the backstory. There were two complaints filed against Little Blessings Daycare in 2023 and 2024 claiming abuse like "whooping" kids (whatever that meansit sounds violent) and locking them in dark rooms. Dark rooms! For a baby? Thats not just bad parenting; it's bordering on criminal negligence. But heres the kicker: none of these complaints are available to parents who might want to know if theyre sending their little ones into a meth-infested, abuse-hub daycarescape. The Mississippi Department of Health claims this whole thing is distressing and that theyre working with law enforcement and Child Protective Services. Oh, good! Because clearly, the $50 fine was just gonna solve everything (said sarcastically). The agency also mentions their goal to "ensure children are safe in licensed childcare programs." Well, based on Deans experience, Id say theyve got some work to do. In conclusion, folks, this story is a textbook example of why we need to take daycare safety more seriously. Because honestly? A baby with meth in his system after spending the day at Little Blessings? That's not just sadits Thats Methed Up. #ThatsMethedUp P.S.: If youre ever looking for a daycare that wont leave your kid high as a kite, maybe skip the ones named "Little Blessings." Its probably just code for little blessings of meth.
