		<description>Does anyone know if Tanya&#039;s case was ever solved...? Was anyone ever arrested for her murder? Drugs do suck but what sucks worse is a beautiful person having to lose their life before they figure out how bad drugs really are. I&#039;ve spent a lot of time over the last year thinking about Tanya and thinking about her family and any info would be appreciated. It&#039;s hard to put such a senseless crime to rest without answers.</description>

		<description>ok lets get this straight 1) the kid isnt going to die from 2 lsd-laced candies 2) she might love candies now if she had a good trip, hate them if she had a bad one, or neutral if the lsd didnt get into her system. Weed doesnt ruin your life, crack and laziness does. the mom shouldnt be doing all those drugs if she has a kid tho, just doesnt mix.</description>

		<description>I was a good friend of Tanya&#039;s through middle school and beginning of high school, and I hung out with Donielle occasionally.

The first time I met Donielle she was 17, told me she&#039;d fucked 8 guys, and was on acid and thought a blanket was staring at her.

I&#039;m sad about Tanya. We went our separate ways, because she became far too interested in drugs and I didn&#039;t want to go down that path. I mourned the loss of a close friend way back then. I made the right choice. She was smoking crack at 17.

When we were younger though, she was so much fun. She just succumbed into peer pressure too much, hence why she went down the path she did. She was a painfully insecure teenager, and not many people saw that. She used to be an amazing person.

I can say that if Tanya and her sister had stayed away from drugs, their lives would be so much better. Both of them were cool people when they weren&#039;t high, and it makes me so goddamned heartbroken to see what has happened to them.

They both fucked up, royally, and now are paying the price for it. I just hope Donielle gets her life straight and stops doing so many damn drugs before she ends up dead like Tanya. Even though I haven&#039;t talked to either of them in years, I do still care about them and their family.

I hear you on this.

As an update, sentencing has been delayed due to a horrific tragedy. The lifestyle of drug use, that almost sucked this baby in, has taken the life of Donielle&#039;s sister Tanya. Tanya was charged with obstrcution of justice for lying to police officers regarding the child&#039;s drug exposure.

Tanya was found shot to death outside her home. They have no suspects, no leads, but her peers say she was killed in revenge for her boyfriend doing a bad drug deal.

Donielle will probably never have her child back, and now will have to mourn her sister from jail.

		<description>I think that the real issue here is of society in general not dealing the right way with people that need help!  Instead of helping and healing people, with addiction, society has a &quot;DO NOTHING UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE ATTIUDE!&quot;  I can speak of this from experience!  When my child was behaving very unusual and there was major concern and proof that he was making dangerous decisions I called the crisis hotline in our town and the police.  I asked them to have him drug tested because I knew he was somehow getting drugs.  They said that they could not do anything because he was sixteen!  I was (and still am) furious!  So, even when a person does have troubles and their loved ones know about it there is nothing one can do but pray!  That is ridiculous!  We should be able to better help people, I mean we are the most advanced nation in the world for cripes sake!  I would think that we could have some sort of system that would rehab them and then a follow up system that would require random drug testings with penalties for not staying clean.  I know that the system of &#039;wait until bad stuff happens&#039; and then either ruin more lives by throwing troubled (and usually poor) people away in jail, or causing more distress to their already poverty stricken lives by buring them with fines and records that label them useless and unemployable for the rest of their lives to the point that they are completely paralyzed for the rest of their life.  I just know that our nation can do more to help with our one chance here on earth.  Including the innocent life of the toddler, whose life was hanging in balance after eating the drugs.  I am sure that if there were better programs that actually helped people and interveined these kind of cases there would be a lot less!  Instead society just shrugs and says &quot;We can&#039;t do anything when they are sixteen&quot;, how ironic, since that is the age when there is the most confusion.  They are not yet adults (even though they think they are) and  are struggling to become more independent from their parents.  Duh, this is the time that society should be doing the most for youth.  They are going to make mistakes, all people do with new big tasks, and there is not much greater task than being a teenager in a huge high school with not a few but a few hundred influences.  Current statistics state that one in ten people graduating from high school will go to prison.  It is a public service announcement.  I do not know about all of you but that is a very sad and scarey outook for our youth, and a number that I will not accept!  I firmly believe that is because we do not have enough preventative measures to keep our kids out of jail!  We need to help  intercept those dangers.  Just look at the D.A.R.E program that was trying to teach youth about the real dangers of drugs, it is being cut.  So, we cannot educate about drug dangers, we cannot intercept with testing and treatment, but we condone publicizing and glamorizing drugs, violence, and sex all over the airwaves; on television, radio, internet, cell phones, MP3s, literature, and in fashion.  Even if you do not condone it, it is everywhere and no matter how hard one tries to protect their families from negative influences it is a GINORMOUS industry!  We support it without even knowing, and it is only getting worse!  We will only see the one in ten rise and that is unacceptable, unless we help.  Help by demanding better help!  By this I mean vote for the politicians who want to help the people grow strong instead of weak.  Vote for those that support education over incarceration.  Vote for little guy instead of the big guy who could care less becasue they just buy their way out of trouble, and steal from the little guy by selling the addictive infesting materials.  Help those in need by showing that you care and never give up!  &quot;A success was once a failure as a failure was once a success.&quot;  Help create more successes through intervention, prevention, and will, instead of &#039;waiting&#039; until something happens or knowing something may happen, and waiting til it does like our government does.  Just look at healthcare.  If you do not pay boo-ku bucks, you do not have health care, another HUGE loss chalked up to the non-prevention mentality (think about it - if we prevented these issues it would mean less money for those that really should be preventing so why would they. I will tell you why, if they prevented drug addiction and provided better health care, people would be healthier and prevention can be the new business instead of prisons, funeral homes, high cost health care, and so on. It is really fairly simple.)   Instead of preventing health ailments our country is allowing health ailments as ok.  It is just sooooooo frustrating.  Ok I have gone on about this but these are facts and my beliefs.  The topic is vast and deserves and even demands attention.  Today I attended the funeral of a twenty one year old girl related to the toddler that ate the drugs and feel that after such a tragedy I owed it to her, my son, and all that loved her for her.  Kind and thoughtful words in memory of a beautiful angel.  Hopefully, there is hope!</description>

		<description>I think the father should go after her for full child support if he now has custody, as well as go in front of the judge questioning any and all child support money he has paid to her over the time she had the child, maybe he can file a civil suit against her to get that child support money back from her since she obvousily wasn&#039;t caring for the child and was obviously using the money for other things not related to the child!  He may never collect his money back from her, but with a judgement against her,he can then put liens against her, report it on her credit, etc!  I would do that if it was me because obviously she just doesn&#039;t get what it means to support a child properly!</description>

		<description>IN response to the above comment, yes.  The father actually had been making arrangements since mif July to take full custody of the child at the time of the event actually.  The child was to be in his full care by mid August, but this event expitited the timeframe.</description>

		<description>Thanks Liz.  Its nice to know that there are some responsible adults around this child.  I would like to ask if the father is applying for full custody of the child?  Since this woman doesn&#039;t seem to be trying, shouldn&#039;t he see about making sure she has a stable and safe home environment?</description>

		<description>I have watched this post since the event, as I know the child, father and mother.  I am happy to say the child is doing well and is happy in the custody of her father.

In terms to the father, he has always been a part of the child&#039;s life, caring for the child at least 2 days a week, as well as paying more than the minimum percentage of court mandated child support to Donielle.

Whereas I know it isn&#039;t easy to be a single mother, Donielle had lots of assistance available to her.  She lived in low income housing, received food and health benefits and had her parents, sister and other family to help watch and care for her child (often I might add).

I also know that Donielle had not held a full time job in over a year.  She once justified to me that if selling drugs is what she needed to do to provide for her daughter, there was nothing wrong with that.  Over 4 ounces of marijuana were found in the home, as well as non-perscribed vicadin.  She told the officers the LSD were for a cousin, but if this was true, what about the other drugs in the home?  This wasn&#039;t just a selling thing.  She was using and obviously, catering to her own needs.

In knowing Doni and the child, I have always tried to believe that she was doing the best job she could. However, after this event, I know she was barely trying.  The child is almost 3 and is not potty trained (even though I know each child is different).  I know the father would often pick up the child and take her straight home, just to take a bath because the child would smell like smoke or be covered in old food and dirt.  The child never had name brand items, unless they were gifts (not that children do need to, they grow so fast and get dirty), but the child would be in dirty clothes (that reaked of smoke or were filthy) on a continual basis.

I also know that since the event, Doni has not stopped her lifestyle.  The weekend she was released on her bond, she went to Fond Du Lac to a hard metal concert!  She also stated to the father that she hasn&#039;t stopped smoking pot.  If getting her daughter back meant that much to her, she would stop hanging out with the crowd she surrounds herself with (as well as the spelling genuis above) who believe that Doni has done nothing wrong and clean up her act.

And also, she (as well as some people on this chain) might think that she did something great by making the child throw up first.  While she did take some action, she should have immediately called poision control and taken the child to the hospital.  Doni and her sister tried to enduce vomiting first before they called poision control told her to take the child to the hospital (I have also heard that the ambulance was contacted by poison control and came to the apartment to get the child, not that Doni took the child to the hospital onher own accord).  I personally believe she was simply trying to cover her own ass to avoid having to deal with the police and hospital.  Current guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend against keeping syrup of Ipecac in the home and in fact recommend disposal of any syrup of Ipecac present in the home as
there is no evidence that syrup of Ipecac actually helps improve the outcome in cases of poisoning, administering syrup of Ipecac can delay administering more effective treatments, such as activated charcoal and/or antidotes, syrup of Ipecac can change neurologic status, and so the effects of the Ipecac can be mistaken for the effects of the poisoning and accidental overdose of Ipecac can result when administered in the home.</description>

<p>In terms to the father, he has always been a part of the child&#8217;s life, caring for the child at least 2 days a week, as well as paying more than the minimum percentage of court mandated child support to Donielle.</p>
<p>Whereas I know it isn&#8217;t easy to be a single mother, Donielle had lots of assistance available to her.  She lived in low income housing, received food and health benefits and had her parents, sister and other family to help watch and care for her child (often I might add).</p>
<p>I also know that Donielle had not held a full time job in over a year.  She once justified to me that if selling drugs is what she needed to do to provide for her daughter, there was nothing wrong with that.  Over 4 ounces of marijuana were found in the home, as well as non-perscribed vicadin.  She told the officers the LSD were for a cousin, but if this was true, what about the other drugs in the home?  This wasn&#8217;t just a selling thing.  She was using and obviously, catering to her own needs.</p>
<p>In knowing Doni and the child, I have always tried to believe that she was doing the best job she could. However, after this event, I know she was barely trying.  The child is almost 3 and is not potty trained (even though I know each child is different).  I know the father would often pick up the child and take her straight home, just to take a bath because the child would smell like smoke or be covered in old food and dirt.  The child never had name brand items, unless they were gifts (not that children do need to, they grow so fast and get dirty), but the child would be in dirty clothes (that reaked of smoke or were filthy) on a continual basis.</p>
<p>I also know that since the event, Doni has not stopped her lifestyle.  The weekend she was released on her bond, she went to Fond Du Lac to a hard metal concert!  She also stated to the father that she hasn&#8217;t stopped smoking pot.  If getting her daughter back meant that much to her, she would stop hanging out with the crowd she surrounds herself with (as well as the spelling genuis above) who believe that Doni has done nothing wrong and clean up her act.</p>
<p>And also, she (as well as some people on this chain) might think that she did something great by making the child throw up first.  While she did take some action, she should have immediately called poision control and taken the child to the hospital.  Doni and her sister tried to enduce vomiting first before they called poision control told her to take the child to the hospital (I have also heard that the ambulance was contacted by poison control and came to the apartment to get the child, not that Doni took the child to the hospital onher own accord).  I personally believe she was simply trying to cover her own ass to avoid having to deal with the police and hospital.  Current guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics recommend against keeping syrup of Ipecac in the home and in fact recommend disposal of any syrup of Ipecac present in the home as<br />

		<description>&quot;daughter ever wanted she had everything she ever wanted&quot;, &quot;was to help give her daughter all the things in the world she wanted&quot;, what a load of crap, WANTS and NEEDS are two separate things!  The child NEEDS a mother who is going to watch (and protect her) what she brings around her, whether it&#039;s people, objects, etc.  The child NEEDS food, shelter, clothes, medical attention.  The child NEEDS a responsible mother who will get a legal job and work hard like the rest of us...I&#039;m a single mother of two children, and although we have had some VERY rough times to get through, I haven&#039;t resorted to selling myself or drugs or committing other crimes to take care of my children!  That&#039;s a lazy poor excuse to say she sold drugs to take care of her child, let me guess, she was probably also milking the welfare system too right?  That&#039;s sad, because my children and I can&#039;t get help through welfare although we pay into the system and some lazy, uneducated girl like this can collect, considering she&#039;s never really paid ANYTHING into the system considering her age?  The child DOESN&#039;T NEED designer name brand clothes, fancy name brand shoes, more toys then she can play with, etc etc because now your creating a spoiled child...my kids aren&#039;t afraid to wear &quot;second hand&quot; clothes, that&#039;s what we can afford, that&#039;s what they wear, and they don&#039;t care who likes it, if you don&#039;t like the &quot;way they look&quot;, look the other way!  sounds like mommy in this story was too busy worrying about what SHE WANTED, not what the child &quot;wanted&quot; (plus, a child at 2 years old doesn&#039;t know the difference between wants and needs, they usually learn that from those around them!).  Now that she doesn&#039;t have her kid, let&#039;s hope that any of the welfare assistance she was receiving stops, and in turn, she has to get a REAL job now to pay the father child support since he has the kid now!  Stupid girl, she got what she deserved, now she needs to grow up!!</description>

Well, has she learned her lesson?  Is she going to stay away from drugs and stop dealing pot?  I have to provide for my daughter too and I keep a full time job, I don&#039;t resort to illegal activities.
Making fast easy money is LAZY.  If she loved her child so much, she wouldn&#039;t have risked having her taken away.  Now she has to pay the price.
Hopefully this is the wake up call she needed.  She loves that child, she will do everything that is required of her to make sure she gets her back AND do everything to make sure that there is never any reason to remove her again.
You are pissed off we are talking about your friend.  I am pissed off that she put a helpless child that she is responsible for caring for in DANGER.  I can&#039;t feel sorry for an adult that is free to make her own choices in life.  She chose wrong.</description>

		<description>In that case... she shouldn&#039;t ever get her kid back. It&#039;s pathetic that she&#039;s in a situation that her story is nationwide... and she can&#039;t even PRETEND to get her act together. I&#039;m sure she&#039;s happier that she doesn&#039;t have custody. At least she&#039;s only fucking up her own life and not her kid&#039;s life anymore.</description>
