BARRE — A Montpelier couple is facing a child cruelty charge after police say the pair overdosed with their month-old infant in the room.
Jessica Parker, 38, and Nicholas French, 38, each pleaded not guilty Aug. 24 in Washington County criminal court in Barre to a misdemeanor count of cruelty to a child. If convicted, they each face a maximum sentence of two years in prison. They were released on conditions, including abiding by the safety plan implemented by the state Department for Children and Families.
Officer Andrew Serrels, of the Montpelier police, said in his affidavit a drug overdose was reported on Northfield Street on Aug. 23 with an unresponsive male. The address listed was that of the Econo Lodge.


Serrels said emergency responders arrived at the hotel room and found French unconscious on the floor. He said French was given eight doses of Narcan to try and revive him.
The officer said there were two females in the room, one identified as Parker. He said a third female was found on the floor in the bathroom and appeared unconscious.
The officer also noted there was an infant on the bed in the room. He said Parker left the room, stating she needed air. Serrels said a few minutes later, responders were told Parker was unconscious in the hallway. He said investigators tried to wake Parker, including giving her a sternum rub, but it was ineffective. The officer said Parker was given five doses of Narcan in an attempt to revive her.
He said French came to while Parker was unconscious. Serrels said French asked about Parker and the child and was told the baby was on the bed. The officer said Parker regained consciousness and the pair were advised to go to the hospital for additional care, though they refused to be transported.

Serrels said the pair told investigators they believed they had been using cocaine, which they ingested through the nose. The officer said they reported they received the drug from one of the women in the hotel room with them.
He said investigators learned that the infant was the child of French and Parker. Serrels said the parents were told the child was being removed from their custody.
He said Parker reported a family member provides care for two of Parker’s other children. After speaking with the state’s attorney’s office and with the family member, Serrels said police released the infant to the custody of the family member.
Court records don’t state how old the child is. A birth announcement shows Parker gave birth to French’s child July 8. This child has the same initials as the child discussed in court records.

So family member now has 3 of her kids. She will never learn anything this way. The kids needs to be removed from the family. She has no fear of loss because they just go to the babysitter relative and mom and dad get to go enjoy their junkie thing.

I think she needs to serve the 2 years and be forced clean. I cant find sympathy for this shit at all. We need to stop making it so easy to be a useless drain on society. If you don't want to get clean go to prison. If you get caught with drugs in your system after release, back to prison. Better than letting their rotting bodies pile up in the streets while they pop out a chain of uncared for (most likely born addicted) babies.

Any Offspring related to this pair haven't got a chance

Both of the “parents” need the spay and Nueter clinic! They should not have the option to damage another baby! Sever their parental “rights” ! Keep them away from the children!

Suggests that they are working to reunite the children and parents?

Totally agree with you. And I hate knowing I feel this way because I know I shouldn’t. I’ve lost really good people to addiction and know what it does to people, but I do. Fucking 8 doses of Narcan, seriously, so he can wake up and be pissed at you that he’s not high anymore. Then jump off the gurney and score some more. And fuck prison too. Let their lives come to the inevitable, but no one else’s. No custody of any children unless and until they show a desire to get help and can stay clean while jumping through a shit load of hoops.
