Mum who left kids to die in hot car was using $200 of meth a day, selling enough to ‘get drugs for free’
Two-and-a-half-year-old Darcey-Helen and her 13-month-old sister Chloe-Ann Conley died after being left in their mother’s car, parked outside her Waterford West home, on November 23, 2019. Conley is currently serving a nine-year jail term for their manslaughters but will be eligible for parole within months.
Dr Pascoe spoke at length of the impacts of methylamphetamine use – including its impact on cognition, memory, information processing, among others. “Smaller points cost $50 each and a person can do between one and four points a day. Usually a person will start off slowly with one point, but by the fourth day they are usually on four points, to get the same high as the previous one point.”
Evidence had already been given at the inquest that Conley was “on the nod” – dozing off at times which witnesses suggested was a consequence of her methamphetamine use.Conley is serving a nine-year jail term for the manslaughter of her girls. Picture: Supplied / Facebook
