Jamaica, Sep 29 (THAINDIAN News) A Queens mom Sheila Bethea, has candidly admitted that she smoked crack, did heroin and drank booze before she wrecked a minivan, in which two foster children were killed, officials said.

Sheila Bethea started a binge in the wee hours on Monday, before she started driving with five children, and she didn’t notice that none of the children were wearing seat belts.

“[Bethea] stated … she smoked crack cocaine around 1 or 2 a.m., that she did heroin around 9 a.m. and that she had drank one alcoholic beverage around noon that same day,” a detective said in an affidavit.

Investigators had reason to believe that the forty-five year old Bethea, wrapped a crack pipe in a tissue and hid it in a body cavity after the crash shortly before 5 p.m., law enforcement sources said.

“Tests on the pipe and her blood to determine whether she was high while driving have not been completed”, the sources said. Bethea was then held on $500,000 bail last night after she pleaded not guilty to manslaughter, assault and endangering the welfare of a child charges.

Queens Criminal Court Judge Mary O’Donoghue also ordered Bethea not to have any contact with the surviving girls. “You are to stay away from them, mam,” she said.

Bethea, who pleaded guilty in 2003 to driving a vehicle while impaired by alcohol, told police that she lost control of the van because a replacement tire gave way, according to the court records.
