Young girl smokes pot while PREGNANT!!

I think that you should first try your hardest to verify that she is, indeed, smoking pot. If you can, then you need to report her. If she has already had a child taken away, for the same thing, counseling will not help. Counseling only helps those who desire help. Her actions show that she does not. And if she can be placed in protective custody, it would greatly increase the child's odds. The mother has given up her life for a few hours of happiness, it's time to focus on the baby, which hasn't even had the chance to make a decision.

pretty sure the kid will live but will it have effects cause smoking and smoking pot.. i would alert child welfare so they can keep an eye and get the baby tested as soon as its born... u dont have to give ur name.. u can even call the girls ob...

If the girl is under 18, I'd suggest you contact Family Services. They will handle it. AT PEACE WITHIN ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

i believe you should do whatever it is in your power to ensure this unborn childs health. you can't determine what will happen in the long run but you can determine your level of involvement. i would be inclined to report her smoking behavior and then let the rest play out as it will.

I'd inform child services or the parents, but it seems much more complicated than that. Still, this is a disgusting thing going on and something should be done about it. Yes, call the girl's doctor as well. Call social services if she has connections to that as well.

That is the type of person I wish I could slap some sense into. I don't know that you can really do anything while she is pregnant as far as the authorities go.

I would inform her of the dangers she is causing to her unborn child and if she at least cares about the wellfare of her child hopefully she will stop. I am not sure if informing anyone will do any good or not unless they catch her doing it. That is really sad to me.

Jo, my first instinct would be to call the sherrif's department. I would ask their advice. Calling the girl's doctor would be of no good due to the *privacy acts* that they have out now. Some mothers have no right being mothers. They act out on the concern of themselves and not the child that they are carrying or raising. As Mike said, she needs some *slap therapy*. But... I doubt that this would do any good.

I think that she shouldn't be able to keep this child if she did it before and lost a child because of it and now she is doing it again, she is showing she doesn't really care what happens the the babies she is making. Just wait to she what she will do to it once it is out of her body and the real work of parenting begins. Maybe once she starts showing that she wants to be a parent then she should be able to care for her children. Very sad situation.
