Children are the silent and small victims of skyrocketing number of home meth labs

She screamed and started spitting. But it was already too late. Two-year-old Frankee Arroyo, a sweet-faced, doe-eyed girl living in rural Kentucky, was sitting in the front of a Cadillac Escalade belonging to her mother’s boyfriend, a meth junkie who police say liked to cook his own junk. She reached for a glass in the center console’s cup holder, raised it to her lips, and swallowed drain cleaner. The sulfuric acid burned its way down her small throat and into her stomach. It ate through the leather upholstery. And Frankee joined the ranks of an unknown number of children who have been scarred, killed, neglected or abused by a skyrocketing number of domestic meth labs.
