Sentenced: “For The Love Of God, Make Your Child Your Top Priority” - Judge Sean Leuthold

[Sugar Cookie]

Taylor Conant, 25, pleaded guilty to one count of child endangerment.

Children’s Services and police were called to her residence, and the home was found to have feces and cockroaches. The child was removed from the home and tested positive for meth and methamphetamine.

Crawford County Common Pleas Court Judge Sean Leuthold asked Conant if she had anything to say after he reviewed the conditions outlined in the report. Conant’s remarks were unintelligible. An angry Leuthold told Conant that it was probably in her best interest that he couldn’t hear her clearly because she was wearing a mask.

“If you are about to make excuses for this, it would not go well for you. This is a bizarre case,” Leuthold said. “You tried to tell the police the child was with your sister when the child was right there in the room. I hear often that drug addiction is a victimless crime because the only person that gets hurt is the drug user. But that’s not always the case. When there are children, they suffer too. When you’re addicted to drugs, you can barely be a part time parent. You are too preoccupied with drugs. Being a full-time addict is your number one job. Your child was not your priority, living in a house with feces, roaches, and methamphetamines. Thank God the child is now safe and healthy.”

Seemingly regretful he could not sentence Conant to more time, Leuthold gave her the maximum penalty under law, three years in prison. She will receive 53 days of jail time credit.

“When you get out of prison, I’m sure there will be a plan to try to reunite you with your child,” Leuthold said. “For the love of God, make your child your top priority.”

Judge Sean Leuthold is my new judicial folk hero!
This fella gets it in spades!!

Roaches, turd and drugs should infuriate every judge enough to hand down max sentences.
There is no excuse not to.
