Mom Trina Rae Carroll Arrested for Abuse when Meth Found in Her Toddler Son

In Foothills, Arizona, Trina Rae Carroll was arrested for child abuse, child endangerment, and involving a minor in drug abuse. Methamphetamine was found in the system of her two-year-old son. The charges are considered felonies and Carrol has two priors.

She’s currently in jail with her bond set at $11,105

Carroll took the toddler to hospital  when he began crying uncontrollably and complaining of stomach pain. That’s when hospital staff found methamphetamine in the child’s system. The hospital contacted police, who referred the case to the sheriff’s office. The sheriff’s office investigated and arrested Carroll.

Carroll admitted to using methamphetamines and opiates in front of her child. The boy has received medical attention and is in the temporary custody of his grandmother.

My gut feeling is that Caroll is probably a decent mother with a very serious drug problem. After all, she did go to the hospital when her son got sick. I just hope that her arrest will help her seek treatment so she can get her son back.
