One of my close friends is addicted to meth. She smokes it in the house with the child (smokes it-- no cooking). Her child never has much of an appetite. I know that one of the effects of meth is no appetite. Could this be affecting her child. I've tried talking to her several times about this, but of course "she doesnt have a problem".

YES YES YES. Just like smoking a cigarette or weed there is side effects. You need to report this. I know if might be hard, but if you don't this actually makes you an accomplice to this child's demise. I highly suggest you get in contact with the local police dept. You can remain anonymous if you want. My husband is a cop, and this is very serious. The baby can die from this.

Yes, it can. If she is smoking meth, she has a problem. If she is smoking it when her child is at home then you have to call Child Protective Services. She is endangering his life. Does she manufacture meth? That is extremely dangerous. Please for the sake of this child call CPS now. She may hate you for it, but right now her child's health and safety is more important than her feelings.

in Oregon, especially Baker County, DHS will NOT do anything if a parent is reported using meth. They will only do something if a number of people report child neglect or abuse. How do I know this???? The mother of my grandchildren is a meth user, living with a meth user - we have called DHS a number of times and they say they can't go to their house and insist she has a drug test. It is infuriating. Elaine

We've all heard of passive smoking right, smae goes for smoking that crap, only the effect are even worse. Meth is a horrendously strong drug and the kid will form an addiction.
Take it as your civil duty to intervene and get this situation dealt with A.S.A.P, you ar not doing something wrong but something very right.
Meth is highky addictive and incredibly dangerous

Yes ~ Please DO NOT wait for any more answers! Call Police or Social Services NOW! You can make new friends always but more IMPORTANT you can save a innocent LIFE! Be a true friend to the child a help him/her grow up in a better environment. The mother will someday realize that this was the best thing and thank you for that.... GOOD LUCK!

Yes it can affect the child. Child Protective Services will drug test for any traces. It has the same effect on a child that it does on adults. Does the child have a bad sleep pattern? Hyperactivity? Lethargic? Please do turn this in. If you care about the child AND if you are a TRUE friend, you won't wait.

Please Report Her, that child DOES NOT need to see their mother smoking meth. The facts are that the first time you smoke meth you are hooked. She absolutely Does have a problem, and anyone that would do this if front of a child definitely has a problem Oh My God!!!!!!!!

Yes it can affect the child. Children found in these conditions are commonly malnourished, improperly clothed, and neglected. Many of these children test positive for having methamphetamine in their bodies. This is due to the access they have to the drug or exposure to second-hand smoke, resulting from a cook or a user smoking in close proximity to a child. I know it's going to be hard for you but if this woman is your friend you'll do what she would do to her if she were sober. You'll protect her child from her. Call your local DHS.
