Maryland: Woman Charged For Contaminating Her Family’s Milk With Dead Skin Shavings From Her Feet – Happy Mother’s Day 2015
I can’t say as though I plan on making Mother’s Day related posts every year. I just saw this and it fit – and I believe Mother’s Day is tomorrow.
You can see my previous posts on how terrible Mother’s Day is for people who are infertile, for women who never married, etc., and how churches wrongly hype motherhood year round only to make it worse on Mother’s Day.
Evangelical Christians like to teach that becoming a parent automatically confers godliness and maturity on to a person, but it does not.
Evangelical Christians, in addition to other types of conservative Christians, like to point to getting married and/or having children as markers of maturity, when the Bible itself does no such thing.
Jesus never married, never had children, but I doubt many Christians would consider Jesus an irresponsible, selfish, backwards, dolt, yet they do this constantly with the followers of Jesus who never marry, or who are childless or childfree.
Here’s yet another example of how motherhood or marriage does not make a person more honest, godly, loving, or mature (the woman in this story is a mother, I think, and I believe married, too. I could be wrong, though, as the story does not explain who “family” is… these could be her aunts or nephews – most of the time, culture and reporters equate the word “family” to mean “married person who has kids”):

- Sarah P. Schrock, 56 of Mechanicsville, Maryland, was arrested on Wednesday. The charges against her are connected to an incident where she served her family milk that she contaminated with dead skin shavings from her feet.
- The Mechanicsville woman was jailed in lieu of 10 percent of a $10,000 bond related to food contamination, as well as second-degree assault on Allison Depriest and Jessica Whitney Hurry during an incident at her home located off of Golden Beach Road.
- According to the Southern Maryland Newspaper Online, Schrock was home alone until around dinner time when Hurry and Depriest arrived. Schrock served milk with dinner. Depriest began to choke and coughed up what appeared to be human skin.
- Court papers state that Hurry also gagged while drinking the milk. An unnamed witness found dead skin in the milk after pouring it into a strainer.
- Hurry told police that Schrock has extremely dry feet because of her diabetes. She explained that Schrock had trays of the dead skin in her bedroom.
- St. Mary’s Sheriff Deputy Jaime Davis’ official report reads, “Sarah P. Schrock, 56, was jailed Wednesday in lieu of 10 percent of $10,000 bond on the food contamination charge, and committing a second-degree assault on Jessica Whitney Hurry and Allison Depriest during the incident Monday at the residence off Golden Beach Road. Schrock was alone at the home that day until Hurry and Depriest arrived at dinner time, and they were drinking the milk when Depriest began choking and coughed up what looked like dead human skin.”
- Police had to look for Schrock and found her at a local hotel. When she was interviewed, she denied any involvement in contaminating her family’s milk. She has also been charged with violating a protective order issued that states she could have no contact with Hurry, reports Southern Maryland News Net.
- Schrock was arrested three times within a nine-day period. Prior to the milk contamination charges, she was arrested for second-degree assault. Following the initial assault charges, Schrock violated a peace order by contacting the assault victim, who is Hurry.
- Schrock was placed under arrest for the dead skin incident and transported to the St. Mary’s County Detention Center. She has been charged with poisoning/contaminating of food, three counts of assault, and failure to comply with a peace order.
- The poisoning/contaminating of food charge is a felony that is punishable by up to 25 years in jail.
