This is very common in regards to parents who use illegal drugs. If you give birth to a child and it has drugs in its system you will be deemed unfit. This includes alcohol or tobacco which can severely damage a child’s development.
This article doesn’t do much more than state the obvious, drug use in parents is a sure way to lose your kids.
The article says a lot more than the obvious, and really has very little to do with the topic of placing children in foster care. It’s not claiming infants shouldn’t be removed from unsafe homes or trusted to foster parents as long as those homes remain unsafe. It’s saying the foster system is being manipulated to the detriment of children, birth parents, and foster parents. The main family in this article is a shining example of when placing a child in foster care works perfectly, where the parents expediently turned things around and managed to bond with their child despite the tragic circumstances. The goal of foster care is to reunite families, and even in these ideal cases it’s easy to turn the system against its own goal.
You clearly have no damn clue what you’re talking about. Having worked as a CPS investigator, there is far more involved than “hurr drugs r bad”. Please take your misinformation somewhere else.
