MY DAUGHTER,THE MOTHER OF CHILD I CUSTODY OF NOW,IS PREGNANT AGAIN AND IS DUE DEC 9TH.I'M AFRAID THAT SHE IS GOING TO RUN BEFORE THIS NEW BABY IS BORN AND IT'S LIFE WILL BE IN DANGER WITH HER.SHE IS TOO MENTALLY UNSTABLE TO CARE FOR IT PROPERLY IS CAPABLE OF HURTING IT PHYSICALLY.SHE HASN'T CALLED ME TODAY AND SHE USUALLY CALLS 8-10 TIMES A DAY.I DON'T HAVE NUMBER WHERE I CAN REACH HER.I'VE TALKED TO DCS ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID UNTIL THE BABY IS BORN THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING.I'VE TALKED TO THE POLICE AND THEY SAY UNTIL THERE'S A BABY THERE'S NO THREAT TO IT'S LIFE.I'VE TALKED TO SEVERAL MENTAL HEALTH FACILITIES AND THEY'RE NO HELP EITHER.

I know that in my state the Dr.s do test the bloodwork for Drugs and if a woman tests positive at anytime during there pregnancy or when the child is born, the authorities will take the child. You should check on this in your state.

I am pretty sure you can go to court and have her commetted.
Have you heard her say anything about killing herself lately? That is all it takes.

In Nebriska, the sheriff actually was going to arrest my pregnant daughter for child abuse for smoking in front of him, and she did end up having to go before a judge, who kept an eye on her until my grandson was born. There is alot you can do if you can find the right people to help you. It's a search, search type of thing. What you have to remember is whatever your daughter does to herself, she is also doing to her baby, and it can be puch to child abuse...if you find the right person.

We took Ri's mom to court when she was around 6 months along. All we wanted to do is have her take a drug test if it was postive for her to go into a rehab during the rest of the pregnancy. The judge said at the end she beleive us a hundred percent BUT do to the abortion laws her hands were tied.
But it did scare the mom into stopping for the rest of the pregnancy until Ri was a few months old.
I spoke to Ri's mom many times and of course she said she would go do a drug test and every time I called to take her a family member would ansewer and say she wasn't there I would ask when she would be back etc and I would call back then. They used in court that I would call and harresse her.
Ri's mom also admitted to me during that time she did drugs while she was PG. with her oldest child and if anything it made him smarter???????????????????
A lot of laws have changed in the past 7 years but I don't know if it is enough, matter of fact I know it is not enough.
Ri has asthma and her mom and all in the home smaoke around her and in the car. ANd she tells them she is not suppose to be around it and the DR. said this also. But they don't seem to care.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
