Staff report
A Cabarrus woman charged in the death of her son gave the child methadone, according to search warrants filed in Cabarrus County.
Robin Dale Lee, 45, was extradited from Kansas to Cabarrus County a week ago and charged with the murder of Phillip Alexander Lee, 5.
The child died at Lee's home at 4121 Lower Stone Church Road, which has a Rockwell address but is located in Cabarrus County.
According to the Independent Tribune of Concord, the Mecklenburg County Medical Examiner's autopsy report revealed the young boy also had a toxic level of the pain reliever hydrocodone.
Robin Lee, faces multiple charges, including second-degree murder, one count each of felony child abuse inflicting severe bodily injury and felony child abuse inflicting serious injury and two counts of sale or delivery of a controlled substance to a minor less than 13 years of age.
Lee's older son, Alexander Martinez, 13, made a phone call in September to 911 saying his brother was dead and his mother was sick.
Both Lee and Martinez were admitted to Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast and later released.
Lee remains in the Cabarrus County Detention Center under $750,000 bond.

My God has given me free will. Free will to make choices. Remember Eve?

To "the preacher' : Saturday, November 15, 2008 8:00 PM
I am not saying that her crime was right. I am saying that for whatever reason, God did allow this woman to take this childs life. God is in control, nothing happens without His 'OK'. Even Satan can not touch us without God's permission. It will all work out in His Perfect Plan. Who knows what kind of abuse this child suffered. He is free now. I also wonder about the older child, did the 'mother' also try to kill him?

Not part of God's plan : Saturday, November 15, 2008 12:29 PM
This woman's crime was NOT part of "God's plan," not for her, nor for her innocent child. If it were, then her behavior would be excusable. God doesn't work that way, though. What happened was the result of this woman's separation from God. God allows us the free will to sin. And as in this case, some people's sins have tragic effects on others. She did not carry out God's plan, God's will, or anything else the Almighty would have planned or wanted to happen. Let us pray for all of God's children.

God's Plan : Friday, November 14, 2008 2:54 PM
Although we dont understand 'why' here on earth, we will see 'why' in Heaven. God has a plan. This child is free from this monster who was supposed to love and protect him. Please pray for this family

Why is the mother in jail under bond? If a person is arrested and a life is lost, there should be NO BOND!!!!!
