The girl was interviewed by police Friday after her father reported she had been hit in the face with a curling iron while visiting her mother earlier in the week, Milwaukee Police Capt. Darlene Jenkins said.
Jenkins said the girl was wise to her mother's cocaine dealing, telling them she chops up a white substance, puts it in bags and takes them  and the girl  to alleys. There, people gave the mother money for the bags, police said the girl recounted.
The mother of four was arrested after police found 55 bags of cocaine worth about $20 each at the woman's home.
She was being held Saturday pending charges of child abuse and possession with intent to sell, Jenkins said.
I suppose those lectures you receive in school about reporting drug abuse do pay off. It is unsettling to see people having to grow up in such unsavory environments.
