"Mandates a 5-year minimum sentence for any person that commits a drug trafficking offense near the presence of a person under 18 or in a place where such person resides for any period of time. The sentence is 10 years if they are parent. (I.e. a mother that sells her neighbor a joint will get a 10-year minimum sentence, even if her kids were at school at the time).

In Ohio, not only is that a felony, but under asset forfeiture law, both the mothers and the neighbors houses, or cars could be seized, depending on where the act is deemed to have taken place.
