I have a friend whom I used to be close with until the last year or so when she started dating a drug dealer. She is now 7 months pregnant, as well as a mother to a 4 year old boy, and lives in a 1 bedroom house with this man and his 'business'. She smokes pot all the time, around her child, as well as being pregnant. I don't know what to do. I would like to say something to put her in a situation to stop, being a mother myself, but I have seen so many other women just get a 'slap on the wrist' when caught in the act. Would it even do any good to mention something to authorities? Who should I tell? Her doctor? Child protective services? No one? Is it even my business? I feel like being a mother myself, SOMEONE should step in for her kids' sake. I feel like my hands are tied. She got caught with pot in her house two years ago also and child protective services drug tested her for about 6 months. She stayed clean for that long, and they left her alone. What should I do?
