The little girl wasn’t lying when she said mommy did it.
And this reminds me that several times I found balloons containing heroin concealed in the diapers babies were wearing.
TEACHER FINDS 17 BAGS OF CRACK COCAINE IN 3-YEAR-OLD GIRL’S SHOE AFTER SHE COMPLAINED ABOUT HER FOOT HURTING

A toddler went to her Boston preschool with 17 bags of crack hidden in her shoe.
After the 3-year-old girl complained that her foot hurt, her teacher took off her sneaker and found the small plastic bags containing crack cocaine.
Police say teachers at the Walnut Grove preschool were adjusting the girl's sneaker Monday when they found the individually wrapped bags of crack, ready for distribution.
The teachers told police the girl said her mother had put 'candy' inside her sneaker.
In the police report, she is quoted as saying, 'My mommy put it in my shoes and said it was candy.'
But the girl's mother told police she knew nothing about the drugs.
Police arrested 19-year-old Demare Gary, the mother's boyfriend, after he allegedly told police the crack was his. He pleaded not guilty to child endangerment and drug trafficking charges.
'I was the one who placed the drugs inside the shoe last night,'' Gary is quoted by police as telling them. 'And I forgot about it.'
But his attorney, Lauren Craig Redmond, dismissed the alleged confession to the Boston Globe.
'He's a young man,' she said. 'Most likely, he is taking the fall for somebody.'
Craig Redmond said the 3-year-old's mother also has a baby fathered by Gary.
'What is clear is the child is the person who knows more than anybody else,' the attorney said.
'The child knows better than the cops, the child knows better than the teachers. And the child clearly said that someone who was not Mr. Gary.'
The girl was transported to the hospital as a precaution but is fine.
