"Toddlers " GARCIA-MARTINEZ - 1 and 2 yo - Albuquerque NM

A pregnant woman in possession of cocaine who was arrested on Wednesday was on probation for the drug-related death of her two-year-old in 2008.

Rose Garcia and Joe Martinez, both 30, were arrested at a Sonic in Española, according to a news release from the Department of Corrections. Garcia, who is pregnant, was found with six grams of cocaine. The pair had two toddlers, ages 1 and 2, in the backseat of the truck.

On May 7 or 8, 2008, Garcia and Martinez’s two-year-old ingested cocaine and died as a result. The couple pleaded no contest to child abuse in March 2010 and were given deferred sentences and placed on three years of probation, the release said.

The children in the backseat of the truck on Wednesday were placed in custody of CYFD. Garcia and Martinez were booked into the Rio Arriba County Jail.

Martinez is facing charges of possession with intent to distribute and child abuse. Garcia was charged with a probation violation, the release said.

Rose Garcia did not learn any lessons about drugs even when it killed her own child in 2008. Not only did she put 2 living children in danger, but she's pregnant with another. She should have been in prison for life for the previous death of the child in 2008. Then she couldn't hurt any more kids. I hope she doesn't get out this time and sure wish they could sterilize this POS.
