Yesterday, a new mother locked herself into her hospital room bathroom to inject heroin.
They found her there and found 60 more needles in her bag.
Mom did drugs throughout pregnancy, received next to no prenatal care, baby born with cleft palate and addicted to drugs. They are weening the baby off with morphine.
The nurse in charge has to carry adrenaline in case they found mom OD'd.
Mom checked out at 24 hrs after birth (as soon as you can) left for 1.5 hours, came back drugged up.
Police and social services are now involved.
But this isn't the first child for the Lady and it's likely not the last.
The only people I feel sorry for are the babies and the medical providers that have to deal with this shit.
Are there any solutions? Do we need any?

@Tabby, not sure if you're serious, but many people frown on state-controlled reproduction.
One argument is for providing IUDs or Birth Control Shots to mothers in these situations, which is a temporary stop to having more children. However, there is one large segment of the population that is against any form of contraception, and another opposite segment of the population that is against any form of limiting rights... there is no overlap of people that would find this effective.

I gotta agree with Uru-salem. There needs to be nationwide drug testing and they need to either put everyone that has drugs in their system into concentration camps or charge up the chair.

I mean, I was joking about Tabby being a virgin, but I guess his worldview actually does revolve around his lifelong rejection. My heart goes out to you.

Dad is getting custody of the baby. Supposedly Dad and Mom do not live together officially.
But the nurses saw right through this.
After DCFS (Child Services) decides that Dad can have the baby alone and gets out of the picture, and before they can release the baby because it is still going through withdrawal, "Mom" comes in to ask questions about types of bottles, etc. that she should have at home to take care of the baby.
What's the nurse supposed to do? Answer the questions and hope that the "Mom" takes care of her baby with the right supplies, or report her to DCFS because the Mom isn't supposed to have anything to do with the baby.
P.S. The "Mom" is a sarcastic term.

Kill the mother, if the baby is also deformed put it out of its misery. If the baby is not deformed or does not have serious diseases and disabilities then the father or the state should keep him.
