Yup.. and the baby is coughing all the time, they just found out it has asthma already it's only a few months along. She smokes cigs and pot around it still, it's like she doesn't even care.
I usually mind my own business, I don't care what people do but when it hurts an innocent child it's a different story. What can I do? I already talked to her and she said, my baby my rules..

Call child protective services. They will send someone out right away and do a follow-up investigation.

I've actually seen this happen REPEATEDLY. It's sooo sad because the only one who suffers is the child. Where I live though, the Department of Family Services won't act on it unless you have witnessed it. I believe the reason for this is because they are booked to the max. But, I would definitely try to call someone in law enforcement because that child deserves much more than being forced to be around all of that toxic smoke.

I say contact social services. You are right to mind your own business BUT a human life is at stake. That mother doesn't deserve that baby. If what she does is causing health problems and she doesn't care then she is an unfit parent and I would call asap. It is the right thing to do

I'd call child protective services right away. a woman like that obviously does not have the maturity and responsiblity to care for herself, let alone a baby.

Turn her in to Dept of Human services. I normally mind my own business too..but when it comes to an innocent child's welfare then I can't.

Yes, I would call the child service and report her. You don't have to give your name and no one would know but you.

if you have serious concerns consult the social services, or her babys healthvisitor... their best interest is the babys safety.
