Looman charged with Endangering the Welfare of a Child

A Jonesburg woman faces a preliminary hearing on Dec. 22, (9am), after she was charged Wednesday in Montgomery County with three counts of First-Degree Endangering the Welfare of a Child Involving Drugs.

The Missouri Department of Social Services (DSS) started the investigation into Rosie M. Looman and suspected child abuse and neglect back in December of 2025.

Three juveniles, who were residing with Looman, were taken into custody by the State, after hair follicle tests on the three kids showed positive results for the presence of methamphetamine and THC.

According to a probable cause statement, the three victims were believed to have had immediate contact with the substances and likely inadvertently ingested them while in Looman’s care.
