NEWPORT — A Newport woman faces multiple charges after allegedly forcing a 16-year-old to regularly consume a mixture of household detergent and alcohol, police said.
Fawn-Marie Hall, 36, was arrested early Friday after officers responded to a disturbance on Pleasant Street around 12:01 a.m. Police said Hall had thrown an alcoholic beverage at a neighbor during an argument.
During the investigation, officers learned Hall had been making the juvenile ingest the dangerous mixture almost daily. The product was labeled as not safe for consumption.
Hall was charged with assault, cruelty to a child, first-degree aggravated domestic assault, and violation of Vermont statute. She is being held without bail pending arraignment Friday afternoon in Orleans County Criminal Court.
The teenager was evaluated at a local hospital and later released. The Department of Children and Families has been notified.

This is what happens when our welfare program incentivizes people with no parenting skills to have as many kids as possible
This is a good way to have the state take your children.

Really? Cause I’d think it would be a good way to have a dead child.
This is why the Bill of Rights forbids cruel and unusual punishment against those convicted of heinous crimes. Because if it didn’t, we can imagine what the DOC would be filling her Nalgene with during water breaks on the work crew.
When I sad bad words to my Mom, I had to take a bite of Ivory hand soap. Never got any booze to wash it down though, not fair.

I know you were just making a joke…and U did giggle. However, this case is certainly not a joking matter.
(Also, you didn’t have to swallow.😉)

Crazy, lunatics I tell ya! Bring back insane asylums!!
Knowing how DCF operates, they will do little in this case if anything at all yet they will get heavily involved in something they shouldn’t. I’ll put money on it.
