QUINCY, Mass. (AP) — Quincy police have arrested a woman they say was selling heroin out of her vehicle with her children inside.
Angela Tantillo of Fall River was held on $50,000 bail after pleading not guilty to drug trafficking and child endangerment at her arraignment on Thursday.
The Patriot Ledger reports that the children — a 10-year-old girl and a 5-year-old boy — were taken into state custody and will likely be placed with relatives.
Police allege the 26-year-old Tantillo was seen in a restaurant parking lot selling heroin to two men, who were also charged. Investigators say she had 10 bags of heroin tucked in her bra and two bags in her purse. She also allegedly had several needles and more than $2,200 in cash.

Addictions of any kind are the scourge of humanity. Let us hope this woman can turn her life around.
well, you ever try to multi task with children in the car? thats why they made drive thrus
Worthless,
What a fkin dumbass mother well can’t say mother or mom cuz a real one would not do that to her kids!!
Mother of the year goes to…
It’s not her fault. Do you know how hard it is to find a babysitter that accepts EBT cards?
Probably gets state aid n foodstamps as well. Good parent
Her BF was home with his other GF making more babies so he can get more welfare money
What a low life mother. I hope she never see her kids again so that she will regret doing what she did.
Aside from being a wonderful mother, she also had her first kid at 16. Lovely example for her children!
Worthless peice to society.
Wow. What a mom. Who does that.
Judging her being on welfare or having a kid at 16 really???? Wow you must be mother Theresa. I judged her based solely on article of her selling ILLEGAL drugs with her kids there as I know I would never do that. There are lots of good people on welfare an need the help. I was on welfare for a year and am not an addict or lazy or non-white nor do I fraud. I know a couple ladies who are awesome mothers and they were teen moms. So lumping them all in one is wrong. Where a drug dealer lumping them all is right cuz they are all doing something illegal
This woman clearly is not in the right mind and i hope she gets the kind of help she needs. Whether she gets assistance or she is a young mother seems irrelevant.
I wish the best for her children.
Her children will now be shuffled through foster homes if they can’t find any family DCF qualified then be pushed to be adopted after 15 months along with thousands others. DCF is happy cuz now they will get 30,00.00 for both kids to be adopted out. So sad and very dumb on the mother.
Im gonna say she is deff gonna get a break while the state investigates, i just hope she has not struggled so much that she actually doesnt want the kids back, selling drugs is fast money, welfare can be compared to scraps she may say F it, and not take the kids back, then all u negative folks can foot the bill and pray you dont end up in a tough situation with no one to turn to expected to provide, im jus sayin, and im not sayin its right but it is what it is
At least they were not left alone at home while she worked.
Quinn’s if DCF have her kids she can kiss them good bye cuz now DCF will make a lot of money off two kids all they gotta do is delay court for a year and she lost her parental right
Sad either way, it looks like another father or babymaker gets off scott free with responsibility, i feel for the kids, cause the kids that have hard lives be the ones loving their parents the most,
I agree 110%
why are so many christians so hateful and vengeful ?
Happens everyday. why the headlines?
Last if she had 2,200 on her and she couldn’t afford to pay for a babysitter??!?!!!!? Really???? Wow that just plain stupid
Some really ignorant comments on here. How about being more concerned for the safety of the children rather then nasty comments about being on welfare. Just because she is selling drugs doesn’t mean she is receiving assistance.
I would bet my left but she’s collecting
That’s a little young to be teaching them the family business. Definitely a violation of child labor laws.
