Bemidji Mother Charged With Giving Meth to Her 14-Year-Old Daughter
A Bemidji mother admitted to using meth with her 14-year-old daughter on two occasions, court documents say. Rebecca Rearick now faces a felony charge.
Rebecca Lynn Rearick, 34, of Bemidji, was charged in Beltrami County District Court after prosecutors say she used methamphetamine with her teenage daughter on two separate occasions.
Court documents show Rearick admitted to using meth with her 14-year-old twice. She faces one felony count of causing or permitting a child to inhale or be exposed to methamphetamine, along with a gross-misdemeanor count of child endangerment.
The felony charge is the more serious of the two counts and, if pursued to conviction, could carry significant prison time. The accompanying gross-misdemeanor reflects what investigators characterized as a repeated pattern rather than a single incident, a distinction that likely shaped how prosecutors framed the charges.
Cases of this kind typically trigger an independent review by Beltrami County child protection services, which assesses safety and placement for any minor involved in a criminal investigation tied to substance exposure. The current status of the 14-year-old was not detailed in charging documents.
The case is expected to move through Beltrami County District Court with an arraignment, followed by pretrial hearings. Prosecutors will then decide whether to take the felony count to trial or resolve the matter through a plea agreement. Updated case information is available through Beltrami County District Court dockets.
