CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- A mother from Kanawha County who faces murder charges in the death of her son is headed back to jail.
A judge revoked Stephanie Raines' bond Friday after she pleaded guilty to violating the terms of her home confinement by failing a drug test.
Prosecutors say she was stealing Darvocet from her grandfather who is sick, but the defense claims she was given the pills after she was involved in a car accident. Raines is approximately six months pregnant.
Raines was originally charged with neglect causing death, but earlier this year she was indicted on murder charges.
Two years ago Raines' son Jacob died at her house in Dunbar. He was just three months old.
Raines was sent straight to jail on Friday.
Jerry McFarland is also charged in the case.
Raines and McFarland are scheduled to go on trial next month.

its not hard to find a doctor for pain pills,look at where they come from.they are killing the usa from within,i see it all around me,almost everyone i know,and the ones i know alot of them are dead from drugs.how many baby died because the mother took these pain pills we'll will never know.i know many and i mean many that there babys were born on drugs and they keep the baby for about 3 to 6 weeks to get off drugs. here the silly part the so called mothers were never charged with a crime,i think when the baby born on drugs and it can be proved there should be charges filed let the courts handle it.
