planting the crack cocaine in the folders. Woodward told The Trentonian that the boy stayed with her the night before drugs were found in his folder, which raises questions about how Ford could have accessed the folder.

“Idon’tsellcrackandIain’t a crack addict,” said Woodward, who noted her relationship with Ford soured since Woodwardsayspostedherbail after Ford was charged with endangerment. “I wouldn’t put it past [Ford]. I love my grandson inside and out. But I wish it was any other mother than her who had motherly instincts. It’s too much craziness fora5-year-oldtogothrough.”

Ford said she should have full custody of her son because he doesn’t belong around people she says have proven unsavory. She was referring to the boy’s father, Leonard, who had been charged in 2005 with being an accomplice to murder and robbery in the shooting deathof44-year-oldJoseArias.

“He’s a street person,” she said. “The question is, ‘Why is that around my son? And the question is, ‘Why did DCP&P letmychildgobackwiththem people again?’”

Prominent city activist Dar- ren “Freedom” Green, who is a close friend of Woodward’s side of the family, said he considers himself an uncle to the boy. He said he picked up the boy and dropped him off at school twice a week, talking to him about life on the rides over.

Like Woodward, he believes something is fishy about the folder where the crack cocaine was found. He used the words “sabotage” and “set-up” to describe the situation.

“I wanna know what happened,” he said.

Green said after the heroin was found the first time, and crack cocaine a second time, “The legal system is like what the hell is going on?”

Woodward told The Trentonianshehasnocluehowhergrandsongotaholdofheroininthefirst place, triggering all this controversy and court proceedings.

She wishes she knew the answer because it would have saved her a lot of headaches.

“If I knew, I don’t have no code,” she said. “Even if it was my son, if you are that careless to put your son in danger, you have to be responsible for what you’ve done.”
