Freaking out! Other Mom/roommate could have killed my kids.

[Anonymous]

I have a co-abode type arrangement with another mom. I did all the back ground checks on her and she had great references. She's been living in my house about a month and it's been 'okay' at best. This weekend I went into the shared laundry room and found a tiny, little ziplock bag filled with white powder on the floor in front of the dryer. I showed it to a police officer friend of mine and he said it was cocaine. I confronted my roommate and she denies it being hers. I have a baby who's just learning to crawl and he could have picked this up and put it in his mouth. I am just floored. My roommate swears up and down it's not hers, but no one has access to our laundry room but us. I am scared to death there could be more and the one I found was so tiny it could have easily missed it. What do I do? I want to kick her out ASAP, but I don't really have proof it was hers, just a strong belief if was. Help. I'm still freaking out.

It's hers. Kick her out.

Of course it was hers, unless the Cocaine Fairy has been using your washer and dryer while you sleep.


You need to kick her out before your child is harmed or you are dragged into her drama.

Why would you even take a chance?

BTW, I feel really, really sorry for her child(ren).

Your police officer friend just looked at it and said it was cocaine? Can he check for prints on the bag?

Kick her out. It's not worth it. Your safety and your child's safety comes first. And I agree with everyone else, it HAS to be hers, who else would have put/left it there? I don't even know why you are still wondering if it really is.

You have to have a rule about a drug-free house ... just explain that to her. If she continues to deny it, just say you're really sorry but unless there was an intruder, it has to be from her or a friend of hers so you have to ask her to leave.

This isn't a court of law, this is your home, you don't have to prove its hers, if you don't feel comfortable having her as a roommate, you are free to ask her to leave. Did she sign a lease?

It's hers. Kick her out. if she won't leave, call the cops.

SHE'S OUT!! What if there was a raid on your house and they found drugs there. They could arrest you too!! I don't mean to be alarmist but on top of her putting your child into danger she could also risk your freedom. Who knows what kind of secrets she has if she's leaving coke around. You and your child deserve to live in a safe and legal home!
