Why did 34-year-old Ann Lampe give her 13-year-old daughter meth to smoke?
Because, the youngster would "throw a fit" if she didn't get what she wanted. Obviously.
The explanation didn't exactly fly with police -- even though she told them she knew it was wrong. In response, they charged her with two felony counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
1. Woman Kept in Freezer Survives Kidnapping, Rape
Sometimes, meth use can lead to truly awful, violent, terrible things and such was the case with a 22-year-old Moberly woman, who allegedly faced brutal torture that involved rape and imprisonment in a freezer back in March.
She miraculously survived and four people were ultimately charged in the kidnapping, assault case. One of the suspects, allegedly partying and on meth, reportedly accused the woman of stealing from him before he attacked. Police said the victim, too, was under the influence of marijuana, Vicodin -- and meth.
