    I would definitely call the police and child protective services. If might be to late for her to have a better childhood but you can help her have a better teenage life. If that was your child you would not want her to do that stuff. I think mothers like that should be made to have their tubes tied so that they can't corrupt other children. I would hurry and call before it gets worse.

    Absolutely! I have even heard of cases where the suspect in hospitals and take your newborn away if you or the baby tests positive. It is very unlikely that they would randomly come and check you at your home unless you have had prior run-ins with them or if you suspect someone could report you for some reason. All they need is reasonable suspicion of drug usage.

    Yes, they can if they have reason to believe that the parents are users. They may need a warrant in some cases.

    Yes they can, and people like the idiot "i know" are why.

    Dumbass, you deserve to have your children taken away. You are a single mother with no child support and you are wasting your money on weed? You are a moron.

    CPS has too much power. They can do whatever they want when ever they want. And that can be good or bad depending on if you are on their poop list or not.
