The 3-year-old was the youngest of four children at the Mobile residence, which had been reported by a “a reliable confidential source” alleging that a woman named Tierra Tocorra Hill “had a large amount of narcotics at a known location,” per a press release from the sheriff’s office.

The street value of the narcotics is roughly $450,000, authorities said.

They said four children were at the residence without adult supervision during the search.

“It is absurd how reckless this situation was,” said Sheriff Paul Burch. “There was a total disregard for the law and the children’s well-being.”

Hoping the four children are getting good care somewhere. What a danger was lurking -- possibly not well-hidden -- where the children were living. Was she dealing the drugs out of the residence?
So glad she is in custody. Blessings on the children.
