Mother of 6-year-old shooter remains free despite failed drug tests

TL;DR Summary
Deja Taylor, the mother of a 6-year-old who shot his teacher in Virginia, will remain free on bond despite failing multiple drug tests while awaiting sentencing on federal weapons charges. Taylor pleaded guilty to using marijuana while possessing a firearm and lied about her drug use on a federal background check form. Despite the failed drug tests and missed treatment sessions, the judge ruled that Taylor can remain free on bond because she has shown efforts to improve. Taylor still faces sentencing for a state charge of felony child neglect, and the teacher who was shot is suing the school system for $40 million.
