NASHVILLE – A Nashville woman accused of drugging and killing her 22-month-old son has now been charged with giving drugs to her other three children.

The Tennessean reports that on June 20, 2013, emergency responders found 30-year-old Jamey Chaffin sitting on the front steps of her home holding the body of the toddler.

She was indicted and accused of giving the boy a dose of her prescription morphine to try and put him to sleep.

New test results show Chaffin may have given prescription drugs to her other three children ages 7, 5 and 2. She was indicted earlier this month on additional charges.

Lab results from hair sample tests of the three children show positive results for oxycodone, a prescription painkiller, and drugs used to treat anxiety and depression.
