(KIRO7) — Court documents say Ashlee Hutt and Leroy McIver were found living with their three children in a home filled with rat droppings, drug needles and heroin.
Someone in the Spanaway home contacted state Child Protective Services after claiming they saw the 24-year-old Hutt inject her children -- ages 6, 4, and 2 -- with a dangerous drug.
“Some of the statements they [the children] made were very disturbing about how they would get sleeping juice to go to sleep and it was injected into them by needle,” said Pierce County Sheriff’s Department spokesman Detective Ed Troyer.
