Unfortunetly she will probably not listen to you. Hopefully her child will be taken from her and given to someone who will love it like it deserves. Hopefully it will not be developmentally disabled because of her actions,....

I think there is some techinicallity in the law that can get her arrested, and she will be forced to act appropriatly for her child. Currently, i think she is endangering the welfare of a child, or whatever the appropriate term for an unborn child is in this situation. Turn her in to the police, for the sake of her child. Her baby will probably have problems already, but stop them from getting even bigger by letting the mom do drugs and drink.

Get Them To Throw Her In Jail , Or Get Her Out Of The City She Is Using The Drugs In. This is what happened to me ,. Ive been drug free since Oct 2005 ! My daughter was born happy and healthy in March of 06! She is the only one that can really help though , hopefully that baby growing inside of her will make her see that she has everything in life a woman could ever want , my daughters is my blessing , honest to god I was in the same situation , and I seen the light , she has to do it for herself , lol or worst comes to worst atleast in jail she is clean and can eat properly til the baby is born
good luck , tell her to email me , Ive got more of my story to tell but do not feel to broadcast it in Yahoo answers
my thought and prayers are with you the baby and the mom , its not easy , but in a childs eyes Mommy will always mean the world !

u need to make it harsh for her, make her listen, ask her if she wants the beautifuyl little thing she created to live in a world of drugs does she want her little baby to be hooked on heroin? tell her her baby can be mentally retarded because of whats she doing, if she still doesnt listen then call the police and have the deal with her, i no it seems harsh but would u rather her have a baby she cant care for and a little human being that will probably die

i feel terrible for that poor baby who will go through its whole life with birth defects because the mom didnt give a crap to think of her baby and not do drugs. Please, when that child is born, tell officials to take it and place it in an adoption agency. I highly doubt the mom will take care of it and with the suffering it went through in the womb, it def.doesnt need it after its birth.

take her to a drug rehab home and drop and her off or just take her to the ER and tell them whats up the bill may suck later but it will be well worth it...if she won't go or listen its not your fault you tried you can't always make ppl do what is best some ppl just don't care or don't want to listen

That's her problem. Hopefully her child will be taken away from her. If someone won't save themselves, nobody will save them.
Not all teenage mothers are like that.
