A cocaine addict was so “smashed” on the school run that a member of the public took her car keys while other mums walked her children to class.
Parents had become concerned

Worried that she was not in a fit state to drive, a woman took her keys while other mums walked her children the rest of the way to their school.
The police were then informed and she was arrested at the scene and later charged.
Harriet Logan, from Stroochester, admitted drug-driving and driving while unfit through drugs when she appeared before magistrates in Chattingham last Friday.

| Harriet Logan: benefit-sponging druggie.. |
Ms Cube said: “A woman took the keys because she looked like she wasn’t in a fit state to drive. She put her hand up and stopped her and did take the keys but then she parked up and some other women walked her children to school.”
Last Friday, magistrates jailed
The chairman of the bench, Councillor Herbert Voletrouser, said: “I must say this is one of the worst examples of drug-driving I’ve come across”.
“However, I am pleased to say

That’s what the “popular press” do, after all. Monetising misery is the name of the game.
We don’t care that the magistrates have already punished her.
We don’t care that Ms. Logan is trying to rebuild her life.
We don’t care about the impact of further publicity upon her children.
We don’t care about further humiliating Ms.
And we don’t care about the viewpoints of any deranged lefties who think we should show a bit of compassion and discretion.
Because it’s all about the clicks and the associated advertising revenue, so we couldn’t care less about any lives we might ruin in the process.
And it’s worked. Appealing to the base instincts of our army of insensitive, unthinking readership means we’ve got LOADS of page views and comments on this one. So, potentially trashing the life of a vulnerable woman and those of her children for a few extra clicks is well worth doing as far as we are concerned…
I don’t
know what is more disgusting: the shameful
behaviour of our local news-site or the merciless comments of some of the
trolls…

Can I suggest that anyone moaning about Labo*r's proposed cuts to the benefit
system read this!! These are the kind of people who need to be banned from
claiming benefits and its absolute madness that she can "pay" her

out of your own money? Then off to prison you go!! It really should be that

Amanda Logan replied:
I’m Harriet Logan’s eldest
daughter. I can assure you my siblings have never ‘missed out’ on anything.
Despite her current mental state and recent addiction problems, my mother is still
a loving and caring person and we are a happy family unit. My Mum is trying as
hard as she can to come off drugs and is deeply ashamed of what she has become.
I suggest you try some compassion instead of knee-jerk condemnation.
Poor mental health is not a lifestyle choice, it is an illness. I wouldn’t wish
it on anyone.
Not even you.

Clearly the children are just a source of a roof over the head and increased
benefit entitlement.
Instead of writing on this story, I think your time would be better spent on
the phone to authorities (for what good they are!)

I wish your mother all the best,
Amanda. You seem like an intelligent young lady – in stark contrast to the
vicious, stupid know-nothing trolls soiling the comments section here with
their knee-jerk Daily Mail-style opinions. If they had any brains or humanity
at all they’d be ashamed of what they are writing.
Moving away from addiction is a lifetime effort, you don’t just wake up one day,
like, oh I'll never do that/think about that again. Not how it works.
Isn’t it great that these trolls can sit and judge others, having apparently
never experienced addiction in their or their family member’s lives? I’m happy
for them. Congrats.
The level of contempt in these comments towards someone struggling with
addiction is disgusting. She should not have done it. I don't condone it in any
way, but I do have empathy with someone trying to change something so difficult
in their lives.. Not just this woman but lots of people need more support than
they're getting currently because of government cuts.

This woman worked, had a job, and was trying to live her life. Yet now she's
been dragged through the mud in a way that seems unnecessarily cruel. She is
still a mother, someone's daughter, someone's family. Does that mean nothing?
It's easy to judge from a distance, but I hope those so quick to comment and
act like they know what addiction is never have to watch a loved one go through
it. I hope they never experience the pain of seeing a family member or even
their own child battle something so dark. It's easy to sit behind a screen and
call her "disgusting" or say she "deserves everything she
gets," but unless you've lived it, you don't understand.
The press should be ashamed. Their reckless reporting and intrusive photos have
done nothing but make an already tragic situation worse. Accountability is one
thing - public humiliation is another. And until we start (that’s enough of this – you are starting to make sense and we can’t be

‘Oh do shut up’ - so someone says

You will eventually discover that being addicted to Niglet the Gargoyle is a
lot more damaging to your brain - if you have one - than any amount of drug
taking.

I’m thinking that your statement

Looks like she couldn't care less. No shame there.
Not fit to own or drive a vehicle and not fit to have or bring up children.
Take it all away, see how much responsibility she takes to get clean and become
useful to society, and only when she has proved by her own efforts she has
taken responsibility allow her to start having things back in her life.
People like her in the road kill innocent people. She's a menace and it should
not be tolerated.

This is one of those rare moments of solidarity across the

I am now off to see if I can find this druggie trollop on other social media
so’s I can heap more abuse and humiliation on her!

I’m Harriet Logan’s eldest daughter. My mother is not a ‘druggie waster/trollop’
