I have a beef......Why do parents continue to do drugs once they have children. Atleast in the house where they live. They say they love their children, but yet the constantly continue to smoke it around them. Do they not realize the neurological damage they are doing to their children. The breathing problems that are giving them. If you want to kill yourself on that stuff that is fine, but not precious children, who don't have a choice. They have to live in the house with Mom and Dad, and it isn't in the least be fair. I just don't understand this at all.
Just a few effects: Children and Meth Toxicity II
Case Report by Gospe, 1995
Eleven month old boy with irritability and blindness and urine drug screen positive for meth. Symptoms resolved after twelve hours.
202 Case by R. Shah, Iowa
Eighteen month olf with agitation, abnormal movement of one arm and elevated blood pressure. Urine positive for meth. Symptoms cleared after eight hours, but behavior problems noted for three months.
Child neglect in substance abusing families can cause medical, nutritional, developmental and behavioral problems with long term sequela.
Lack of nurturing and emotional stimulation results in development of attachment disorder and depression.
Lack of boundaries puts children at risk of sexual abuse.

because they are stupid. even something as "innocent" as tobacco harms children. but the parents will say that it doesn't or it is the kid's imagination or that they are adults and will do what they want.
it honestly puzzles me how parents can do this sort of thing and know it harms their children but yet be so selfish as to risk harm to the lives of the ones you know they love.
