Mother & Newborn Both Tested Positive For Methamphetamine During Labor & Delivery

[Sugar Cookie]

A Jackson couple was arrested yesterday and their newborn placed with a foster family after the baby and mother both tested positive for methamphetamine during labor and delivery at St. John’s Medical Center.

According to Jackson Police Department Lt. Roger Schultz, medical personnel at the hospital are mandated by state statute to report any child endangerment situations to law enforcement. When the hospital did blood work on the baby and mother as part of standard protocol, it was discovered both had chemical positive test results that showed meth in the blood system.

Local law enforcement obtained a search warrant and arrested Aube Ringer, 35, and Tosha Scott, 34, on charges of child endangerment. Meth and other drug paraphernalia was also discovered at the residence in serving the search warrant.

Creating a premade junkie.
What a time saver.
Sterilize them.
Rehome the baby

Did not know that mandatory drug testing was part of the childbirth process now. I guess assholes like this are why.

Bubba looks scared in his picture. She just looks pissed off and tired. Poor baby.

She really fucked his high up.

This happens all the time... I went to to treatment with 64 females and over half got their babies taken at birth for testing positive for one thing or another. They also screen you throughout the pregnancy for drugs. The only thing is the baby has to test positive at birth for action to be taken.

I wouldn’t need a blood test to tell you she’s a meth head. Just sayin.

She will be just fine in prison she looks like she can handle her own. Aube on the other hand looks like he is questioning his life choices.

Tosha Scott pleaded guilty under an Alford plea to felony child endangerment in Teton County District Court.

The 34-year-old mom was arrested after she gave birth at St. John’s Medical Center. Scott and her newborn tested positive for methamphetamine, police said.

Under the plea agreement, prosecutors will dismiss two other counts of child endangerment. Teton County Deputy Prosecutor Clark Allan said he also plans to dismiss the charges against the child’s father, Aube Ringer.

After Scott’s urine tested positive for methamphetamine and amphetamines, police served a search warrant at the couple’s Jackson house. Police said there was not a meth lab, but they found glass pipes, meth residue and torches.

“The baby was brought into a residence where there was methamphetamine,” Allan said.

The court ordered a presentence investigation, and Scott will be sentenced at a later date.

Looks like mom is getting a second chance and that's good. The baby wasnt hurt and needs its mom. Hopefully she grows and turns things around for her and her baby.

The baby wasn’t hurt?!? It was born with meth in its system and most likely exposed to it all through its prenatal development. So the child’s already starting life off behind the eight ball without being saddled with two junkies for parents.
Where’s the baby’s second chance? He or she might need a mother, but this is no mother. She didn’t even stand up and take responsibility for the harm she’s already caused her baby. Give the baby a second chance by giving her new parents.

The situation isnt too far gone. She needs to right this wrong. It's her responsibility. I'll pass on joining lynch mob on this one and that doesnt mean I don't acknowledge the problems here.

The world can shatter in an instant.

The Evanston community was reminded of that this week when 2-year-old Niko Ringer was tragically killed after he darted into the street in front of a truck driven by an unidentified 19-year-old male at approximately 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 10.

Twenty-four hours later, on Wednesday, Aug. 11, hundreds of people attended a candlelight vigil at the corner of 6th Street and Morse Lee, where the accident occurred, to remember a loving little boy taken too soon and to support those whose lives will never be the same.

According to Wyoming Highway Patrol Lt. Matt Arnell, the accident was just that — a “horrible set of circumstances” that resulted in unimaginable loss. Shortly before the accident, the boy’s parents — Tosha Scott and Aube Ringer — had taken a dirty diaper outside to the garbage, and now suspect the door hadn’t shut securely when they went back inside. Niko had been playing in the living room of his home in the area when he was momentarily left unattended, said Arnell. In those moments, the boy must have slipped out the door and into the street, directly in the path of the oncoming truck.

Arnell said the driver never saw the boy coming as it is believed he darted out from behind some shrubbery. The teen driver realized he had hit something and stopped, immediately calling 911 when he saw the boy. Arnell said a jogger who was in the area and witnessed the accident didn’t realize it was a child who was struck until he got closer to the scene.

An ambulance that was en route to Evanston Regional Hospital to pick up a patient for transfer to Utah came upon the accident just after it happened, said Arnell — so abruptly the driver had to hit the brakes to avoid again hitting the boy in the fading light of day. The ambulance crew quickly jumped out to care for him but discovered there was nothing they could do to save the child.

Though the incident is still under investigation and law enforcement have recovered the engine control module from the truck and the driver’s cellphone, Arnell said there is no indication that distraction, impairment or speed were factors in the accident.

Aube Ringer was never sentenced because the child endangerment charges against him were dismissed. In March 2019, Teton County prosecutors dropped his charges after the mother of his child accepted a plea deal.
