    Mother Steals Kids Christmas Gifts to Buy Crack Bowers
    Sandra J. Bowers


    In perhaps the saddest news we've heard all day, a
    Belleville woman is in the St. Clair County Jail for selling her kids' Christmas gifts for money to buy crack.

    The mom, 35-year-old Sandra J. Bowers, hocked gifts worth about $1,000
    and spent the money on rock. The gifts had been purchased for Bowers'
    children and their cousins by their grandmother.

    As reported in the Post-Dispatch,
    Bowers' mother already had taken out a restraining order against her
    addicted daughter, because Bowers had previously stolen jewelry, tools
    and a car from her. The kids, four and five-year-old boys, had been
    staying with their grandmother.

    Bowers' mother, Pamela Gyon, told the P-D that she thought her daughter
    had kicked her habit. So she took her shopping for the kids, using the
    monthly disability check her cancer-patient husband receives. She also
    let Bowers stay the night. They left the toys in the car so they boys
    wouldn't see them.

    That night, Bowers drove away -- taking the gifts with her.

    The police found Bowers' at the EJ Motel in Belleville after her mother
    reported the car and gifts stolen. She'd sold the toys at pawn shops
    and on the street in East St. Louis, and was driving and holding a
    crack pipe when they found her. She's been charged with a felony for
    violating the restraining order, despite being invited by her mother;
    the police are also looking into theft charges. Bowers' bond is set at
    $50,000.

    Crack addiction is a desperate kind of sickness. The boys will probably
    get over one terrible, giftless Christmas, but they need their mom.
    Here's hoping that Santa brings Bowers a long stay in a good rehab
    program.

    Well, what did the addict's mother thought? NEVER trust an addict. Granted, she probably had high hopes, but not promising for an addict to stay clean for the holidays this early on.
