This breaks my heart. I know the Freeman family and can imagine how hard this is for them. I will keep praying for them all, thank God for forgiveness and second chances. When I knew Steve Freeman, he was a young man full of hope and promise, drugs can so easily take hope away.

Judy,
Since you have spent the last 30 years in the medical field cetainly you have seen EVEN MORE serious ramifications caused by the use and misuse of the two most commonly used LEGAL drugs, alcohol and cigarettes?

Why are these two potetentially harmful drugs somehow legal and okay to use, yet marijuana, cocaine and other now illicit drugs are not? Why is perfectly okay for me to down a 12 pack of beer or a 5th of liquor or smoke a couple packs of cigarettes in order to relax, yet if I pop a loratab that was not prescribed to me I am a criminal and could potentially face 15 years in prison?

im addressing my FINAL comment, on this event, to the “family” (who last posted)…. i must admit that i do come to this public forum w/a strong personal opinion regarding drugs, drug users and drug peddlers….i have NO tolerance for ANY of it…..very sadly, two of my own GROWN children made some VERY poor choices regarding illegal drugs…ABSOLUTELY, they werent raised that way, but they got involved w/it, nonetheless…did i bail them out of jail?..NO……….did i make excuses for them? NO……did i pray for them, encourage them and still love them?..YES……but, it was vitally important that they feel the harsh consequences of their bad decisions, take ownership for their actions and struggle their way back to becoming a productive member of society…God was merciful to them in so many ways…but, its because of that gut renching anguish (worry, public embarrassment, courts, jail visits, NA meetings, etc) that my whole family and myself went through, for about the last 10 years, that i carry this very intolerant attitude towards ANY drug activity…being in the medical field for over 30, ive definately seen alot more than most, the tragic ramifications that drugs DO have on EACH of us…..i know that im NOT the only one that feels this way, just maybe more vocal…btw, you may have missed my previous posts, wherein i mentioned that i DID feel as though the 15 yr (each) senctence was excessive, based on the reported offenses…

NONE of you know these people personally. They are FAMILY to me, so all of you that are bashing and trying to say that they got what they deserve, you are WRONG. Get over yourselves and grow up. I know for a fact I am younger than all of you, and yet Judy continues to try and argue thinking she is right and knows everything. Judy, you weren’t there, you don’t know the situation or even if they had EVIDENCE. Also, you should find something better to do with your life rather than stalking this website trying to post back on what others say. So, get off your high horse since we can all clearly see that you are a wayyyy better parent and you think that justice was served. HAH. Okay, wake up sweetheart. Our world will never be as perfect as you. hahaha.

Glad to see the state of Flordia send out this message, In Alabama they will bust the meth users and get no time. They do not call the parents of the children that are in the home at the time of the bust. Department of children and family was not even called. Children are still in this enviroment.

It is sad that these people got 15years, Only because it is not right for people not to be treated the same. But I do not know if some people have ever been around the problems that drugs can cause. Meth is not the same thing as what people give their children or theirselves. All meds can be abused in whatever way a person would like to use it for. I wish people would understand that the use of meth, crack or other things people let control them does cause serious crimes. It also breaks families apart money that could be spent on children and loved ones is spent on drugs. When that money is out then they have to find a way to get what they need. As far as people telling on each other yes most people find out the hard way who there friends are. But its the way it is maybe if the police would stop using snitches to do there work they could cut down on all the crime that most of the snitches do, they are the real problem selling pills, drugs and what else they have to just to get high I know some people will doubt thats the way it happens but I have no problem showing are telling what goes on.

Injustice! I feel you on this one. I have a sister that was sentenced to 18 yrs in prison because someone said she sold them drugs to get the sentence reduced. She ws not caught with anything but word of mouth. So I know first hand how messed up the system could be. These people in no way deserve 15yrs in prison. But hey Kill or rape a child and get a slap on the wrist with probation or maybe 2 or 3 yrs. YES PLEASE WAKE UP AMERICA. WE NEED TO WEIGH THE CRIME AND LET THE NON-VOILENT CRIMES BE EVALUATED AGAIN.

Might just do this Pill Popper…..you don’t know what the beep you are talking about, you hear and see what you want to and you don’t know these people personally so get somewhere with your opinion. Have you ever thought about what migt have happened to them throughout their lives/childhood to make them this way? I know a whole lot of people that medicate to try to cover the hurt and pain they suffer inside for whatever reason. Let’s just hope you don’t have kids that get into this, then you will see the OTHER SIDE……

These aren’t innocent upstanding citizens folks, never have been, they have been in trouble since they were teenagers. Stupid is as stupid does, I hope all their friends take note of this and think twice about breaking the law. Maybe they are getting more than the others, but probably just what they deserve. If all of their supporters think it was harmless, you try it and see what might happen.
