Cops: Pa. woman injected daughter, 14, with heroin

WEST CALN Twp., Pa. -- A Pennsylvania woman is accused of injecting two teens with heroin, including her 14-year-old daughter, reports CBS Philadelphia.

Jessica Lynn Riffey, 34, of West Caln Township, about 50 miles west of Philadelphia, allegedly supplied her daughter and a 16-year-old boy with the drug, and injected them on multiple occasions in September. She's facing charges including endangering the welfare of children, corruption of minors, and drug delivery.

"Supplying anyone with heroin is a potential death sentence," Chester County District Attorney Tom Hogan said in a press release. "Injecting children, including your own daughter, with heroin demonstrates a depravity that defies belief."

Riffey was being held on $50,000 bail.
