Swiss authorities have confirmed that a 33-year-old Dutch woman was detained for drug smuggling at the Swiss border in March.
Both the woman and a 29-year-old man from Sierra Leone had swallowed a total of 50 packages of cocaine. The man was also carrying cocaine in his pockets.
Packages of cocaine were found in the pockets of the woman's two children, who were accompanying her. The children, aged two and seven, have been put into care. The arrest took place during the night, the authorities said.

This is incredible. I can not imagine how these kids felt in that moment. Those women and man should go to Sacramento Drug rehab for professional treatment. I hope the judge give them a second chance and they should take advantage of it. I wish them well.
