Police say a DuBois woman provided methamphetamine to a 12-year-old child.

According to the City of DuBois Police Department, 37-year-old Amanda Coder faces charges related to endangering the welfare of children along with corruption of minors.

Police say they were called in Sept. for reports of Coder possibly providing or smoking meth with the child at her Quarry Ave. Apartment.

They say Children and Youth Services were contacted and found traces of meth in the child’s urine but neither the child, nor Coder disclosed why the drug would have been present.

Investigators interviewed Coder about an unrelated matter this past April, police say, and during the interview Coder was asked again about allowing the child to smoke meth.

This time, they say Coder confessed to allowing the child to smoke meth at least seven times during the past year.

Authorities say the child told them Coder had provided meth at least six times.

At one point, the child even reportedly went to school under the influence of meth, investigators say.
