A 26-year-old mother from Volusia County has been arrested after police said her 7-year-old son turned her in for cooking and using methamphetamine. 
 
 According to Edgewater police, the boy told his uncle — as well as investigators — that "There's really bad stuff in my mom's car." 
 
 
 
 Briana Buchanan and her son had been living with her boyfriend's brother, Peter — who considers the 7-year-old his nephew — for some time at his Edgewater home. 
 
 For several days, the boy had told Peter that his mom was cooking "something bad." 
 
 Then, on Friday, Peter said the boy built up enough courage to show him just how bad it was. 
 
 
 
 "He came up to me, and he said, 'There's really bad stuff in mom's car that I want to show you,'" said Peter, who asked that his last name not be published. 
 
 
 
 The 7-year-old brought his uncle to his mother's car and opened up the trunk, himself. Inside was drug paraphernalia, sitting right next to some of the boy's toys. 
 
 Shocked, Peter closed the trunk, took the boy inside and called 911. 
 
 
 
 "Her son, who's 7, just told me she keeps bad stuff in her car, and he opened up the trunk, and she has a meth lab in her trunk," Peter told a 911 dispatcher. 
 
 
 
 The 911 operator told Peter to get away from the car, because of the volatility of materials used to cook meth. 
 
 When police arrived, they found dozens of items inside the trunk used to cook and use meth. 
 
 What's worse, the boy also described to Peter just how his mom allegedly manufactured meth. 
 
 "He said when they would get all this stuff together, they would put it all in a soda bottle, and they would shake the soda bottle and take the top off to, I guess, vent it out," Peter said. 
 
 
 
 Police charged Buchanan with child neglect, possession of chemicals, meth and paraphernalia, and manufacturing and delivery of meth. 
 
 After Buchanan's arrest, her son was taken in by his grandmother, away from a world Peter says no boy his age should have to see. 
 
 "I can already tell you, just looking at his face, he is relieved to be out of the situation," Peter said. 
 
 
 
 The boy's grandmother planned to enroll him in school this week. 
 
 
 
 Edgewater police said they were investigating to see if Briana Buchanan could be charged with trafficking meth, which has a harsher punishment. 

 A Volusia County mother was arrested after her 7-year-old son allegedly told their landlord she was making methamphetamine in the trunk of her car, according to Edgewater police. 
 
 Briana Buchanan, 27, was arrested Friday after her son showed their landlord "mommy's bad stuff in her car," according to the arrest report. 
 
 Buchanan's son allegedly told their landlord how the bad stuff is made and said, "Mommy goes to the store and lies to the people, saying she is sick and needs medicine," according to the report. 
 
 The man said Buchanan and her son have been staying with him for a month. 
 
 "He opened up the car and he pointed to a bag and right away its everything you've seen online related to meth labs," the man told WESH 2. "So I pulled him away and I called 911." 
 
 Investigators said the department's meth response team came to the home and dismantled the lab in the trunk of Buchanan's car.

 Buchanan's son is staying with his grandmother.

– Today, in Criminal Masterminds Who Could Use a Lesson in Discretion: We present one Briana Buchanan, a 27-year-old single mom who maybe should have thought about getting a babysitter while she was allegedly cooking meth out of the trunk of her car. Seems her 7-year-old son was bothered by "mommy's bad stuff in her car," as per the arrest warrant, and told the man they were living with—the brother of Buchanan's boyfriend, identified only as Peter. The child "opened up the trunk, and she has a meth lab in her trunk," Peter told a 911 dispatcher, as per News13. Scattered about the lab were some of the boy's toys, along with syringes filled with meth, reports WESH. The boy was able to describe how mom used basically the "shake and bake" process: "He said when they would get all this stuff together, they would put it all in a soda bottle, and they would shake the soda bottle and take the top off to, I guess, vent it out," says Peter. Buchanan has been charged with a laundry list of offenses, including child neglect, possession of methamphetamine, manufacturing methamphetamine, possession of listed chemical, and possession/use of narcotic paraphernalia. The child, meanwhile, is staying with grandma. (It's not the craziest place cops have ever found a meth lab.)
