“A Tulsa attorney is suing 51 people who have been convicted or accused of drug dealing and related offenses on behalf of three children, citing harm from their mothers’ drug use. The children, whose full names are not listed in the lawsuit, have been taken away from their mothers and are living with relatives or guardians. Adams said he hopes to recover enough to pay for the three children’s housing, educational costs and other needs. People can be sued if the plaintiffs can prove that the defendants sold drugs in the county where the drug user resided. Oklahoma’s law does not require that defendants be convicted of the offenses before the lawsuit is filed.”
