Among my duties, I am also the juvenile judge for three counties. We recently took three kids from the parents. Mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, all lived in a mobile home. Mom and dad we're cooking meth in the kids' bedroom. We took custody of the kids, ages 5,4,2 1/2, and newborn. First we had to get the kids on nebulizers for their breathing problems. Next had to get them on medication for the meth sores that were all over their skin, from being around the cooking fumes. Next, every time the parents got home, they put the kids in car seats in the house so they wouldn't have to deal wit them. As they always faced the 2 1/2 year old the same direction and jammed a bottle in its mouth, it now has a huge flat spot on its head, the doctors aren't sure if it's fixable or not.
When the parents finally sobered up in jail, they had no clue what had happened or what was going on with their kids.
Meth is one of the most evil substances on the planet.
