7-Year-Old Turns Mom in for Cooking Meth in Florida; Briana Buchanan Arrested

A 7-year-old turned his mom in for cooking meth in the trunk of her car, according to reports. Briana Buchanan of Edgewater, Florida had cooked so much methamphetamine that her young son knew part of the process; the mother was arrested for her illegal activity.

The 7-year-old who turned his mom in had been living with her in the apartment of her boyfriend's brother. The boy didn't have the nerve at first to reveal his mother's drug production, though— at first he only told the man that his mother was cooking "something bad," WHNT news reported.

After a while, the 7-year-old finally confessed to what he knew: his mom was making meth out of the trunk of her car.

"He came up to me, and he said, 'There's really bad stuff in mom's car that I want to show you,'" a man who would only be identified as Peter said.

The mother had cooked meth so often with her son that the boy even understood the method for making the drug in a mobile fashion.

"He said when they would get all this stuff together, they would put it all in a soda bottle, and they would shake the soda bottle and take the top off to, I guess, vent it out," Peter explained.

After the man saw the mobile meth lab, he immediately took the boy inside and called police. Buchanan was arrested and charged with child neglect, possession of chemicals, meth and paraphernalia and manufacturing and delivery of meth, Channel 13 news reported.

Now the boy has gone to live with his grandmother while his mother is behind bars.

"I can already tell you, just looking at his face, he is relieved to be out of the situation," Peter said.
