A suburban Detroit woman who admitted to injecting her 12-year-old nephew 50 grams of heroin, as well as other crimes, has been sentenced to eight years in prison.
The woman also admitted giving the boy and her 15-year-old niece heroin and cocaine.
The 12-year-old was eating spaghetti in the basement of the home Jan. 24 when Jacqueline Ellen Vuich, 25, allegedly took a syringe and injected the drugs near the elbow, according to police.
Relatives rushed the unconscious boy to the emergency room. Doctors at Henry Ford Bi-County Hospital transferred him to Children's Hospital in Detroit where he was listed in critical condition.
A blood test showed heroin in the 12-year-old's system.
50 grams of heroin? That's almost 2 ounces.
