Court documents show a Missouri couple accused of letting their children help package and sell drugs, also allowed them to ingest the drugs and alcohol.

This was all taking place close to a daycare and West Plains High School, in a home that investigators say was, “nearly unbearable.”

Drug task force agents were tipped off in March about 37-year-old Carrie Carver and 39-year-old Charles Klein selling drugs at their home.

The agents were told that a 12-year-old was being used to make drug transactions and that other children were allowed to ingest drugs and alcohol at the home.

An undercover agent bought drugs from the 12-year-old inside the home and found a 9-year-old there helping to package the drugs, according to court document.

The entire thing was caught on video and investigators say the parents were in the room helping make the deal.

Days later, a search warrant of the home turned up meth, marijuana, paraphernalia, hypodermic needles, baggies and scales.

Five adults and four kids, the youngest being four, were inside the home at the time of the search.

Investigators said they also found a day's worth of food inside the home, dirty clothes, beds covered with so much clutter that no one could sleep on them.

Authorities also found a room dedicated as an animal shelter where the floor was nearly covered in feces and urine.

I guess the parents were in the room teaching the 12 year old how to properly sell drugs for them which is freaking horrible enough but to have your 9 year old helping package your drugs?!? I can only hope that they would make him help with the weed and not the meth but considering they were grooming their 12 year old to sell for them I don't know...

I've said it before, I'll say it again - we need to bring in mandatory vasectomies to prevent this kind of stuff.

That's what's wrong with this country. Parents now expect nothing from their kids, demand they get trophies and awards for zero accomplishments and produce snowflakes who are not equipped to do anything with their lives except snap selfies in the hopes that there is someone out there even more pathetic who actually wants to watch them waste oxygen. And here we have enterprising, resourceful people who run a successful business attempting to teach their kids important job skills in a growth industry that could make them wealthy. And they're the bad guys?!?!?!?!?

LOL! I was very much considering going with that in the OP but figured a 9 y/o potentially bagging meth might be pushing it just a bit too far even for me, at least to start the discussion. Now that it has been started it's fair game so bravo sir!
