Is prenatal drug exposure a form of child mistreatment?if so why?

10 pts for best answer|||It is a form of child abuse. It is also endangering the welfare of a child. Why, well that's obvious.....Drugs can kill the baby and they are illegal. Not to mention the hundreds of birth defects, education issues, emotional issues that kid can go through. Ever seen a crack baby going through withdrawals.......It's freaking horrible.|||No. If drug exposure continues after the mother finds out that she is pregnant, then I think it's abuse.|||Yes!


of course it is, what a stupid question.|||the parent will be taken to jail for mistreatment of a Minor and possibly they can terminate the parents rites and the kid wil be sent to a another family of relative and they can only get him/her back with finishing rehab|||I would think prenatal medicines/vitamins would help a child. I don't see how that could be mistreatment.|||I don't know the legal answer to this question. However, I do have an opinion. Whether or not you believe that life begins at conception, drug exposure to an unborn child/fetus (whichever you prefer) is abuse. The reason I think so is that this child will eventually be born and definitely considered a human being at that time. The problems that drugs can cause to a baby are awful and so easily prevented. Anyone who would hurt their baby in that way is too selfish to be a parent.|||in my opinion if the mother knew she was pregnant then yes that is severley wrong as it could harm the unborn baby and if she knew that she was, and wanted to take drugs then she should have prevented herself from having responsability over another life, however if she was unaware of the fact she was pregnant how can it be a form of child mistreatment if she never knew she was carrying a child. fingers crossed tho for the baby ????
