Cops want to crack down on people who make drugs near kids.

BROOMFIELD - Police have made a meth arrest at a home used for day care.
Jerry Aaron Robinson, 27, was arrested Wednesday at a Broomfield home where his mother cares for five children. Police found items in Robinson's room used to manufacture methamphetamine.
Police cite the bust as an example of why the state must clamp down on people who manufacture dangerous drugs around kids.
Robinson faces third-degree felony drug charges carrying a jail term of four to 16 years.
If a bill being considered in the legislature had been law, Robinson also would face felony child-abuse charges, carrying another four-to- 16-year term.
That bill, HB 1004, passed out of the House Appropriations Committee on Thursday. It now goes to the full House.
Broomfield police Sgt. Dan Schuler said kids are at risk in an area where methamphetamine is made.
"When they combine the various chemicals, it becomes a very toxic vapor, and it permeates into the carpet, the furniture, and it's just very dangerous," Schuler said. "And the problem is, they don't know what the long-range effects are going to be on these kids."
The chemicals are also highly flammable.
Robinson faces an additional charge of failing to register as a sex offender. He was convicted of a 1996 sexual assault.
He was not under an order to remain away from children, however,Schuler said.
Robinson's mother cared for five children in the home where the arrest occurred. They are all relatives, including grandchildren.
The woman was not arrested.
A 1-year-old child was sent to Children's Hospital for observation. The other children, aged 6 to 8, were given to their parents.
Under a bill signed into law Monday by Gov. Bill Owens, county social services would be required to remove children from homes where drug crimes were taking place. The bill does not take effect until July 1.
That bill is needed to let social workers know that children must be removed from such homes, said Rep. Cheri Jahn, D-Wheat Ridge.
"It absolutely says you will get them out of there," Jahn said.
