This
article directly relates to “Winter's Bone” as the characters in
the novel were effected by the drugs use and distribution adversely
just as the examples described by Sheriff Bart. One user described
performing “home dentistry” while under the effects of this
powerful chemical. Another drives around aimlessly while chewing her
fingernails to nubs attempting to fill a shopping list of dangerous
ingredients used in it's manufacture. Just as the fictitious account
of child abandonment in the story, the article uses true evidences
brought forth from social workers on the front lines. This article
would be an excellent source for use in essay #3 as it has the
credibility of both law enforcement as well as social workers who are
directly impacted each and every day by this scourge.
