Helping Children of Drug Addicts Just a Snip Away

Very rarely has something I have seen or heard on the news made me physically sick to my stomach. That is, unless we're talking about a pedophile getting off because he lives a double life as a singer or a college sports hero and movie star getting away with cold-blooded murder on the count of a prosecutor's use of the "N" word. Of course, both of these cases are of a quite a bit higher caliber; even more than little blond tramps serving less than a month or even less than a day for something that could potentially kill others.

Earlier this year, while thumbing through the local morning paper over a cup of coffee, the cover story not only caught my eye but also got my blood boiling. The story drew the reader in with a shot of a local twenty-something couple inside of a run-down Cracker Jack box of an apartment, looking very dirty and holding a very tiny newborn baby.

The accompanying story detailed how the couple was living under a bridge when this, their fourth baby ... their FOURTH BABY ... was born and that they had recently gotten into their apartment. However, while this was their fourth baby, it was the very first baby they got to keep, because the state took the other three away. Why? It was because both "were" avid users of cocaine, methamphetamines and other hard drugs.

This skyrocketing trend of drug addicts and "former" drug addicts procreating has become a disturbing epidemic all across the nation. Such vermin have helped flood the foster care system and put children in danger in numbers that spike on an annual basis. The worst part is, however, that such people who have no regard to the immediate danger they are putting their children, show no remorse and resort to vilifying the state, the Police and Child Protective Services when they step in to bring innocent children to safety.
