I think, in these cases, the best thing is for the children to be taken away from their parents. What chance have they got? If the parents have no hope, then at least give these innocent children a chance. But maybe it's not that simple. These types of situations are incredibly sad indeed.

You see things in only black and white and I can tell you that there is way more to life and the human condition than that! I am a recovering addict and mother of five. I went through some rough spots when my oldest were very young but have been clean for 12 years now. I am a wonderful mother to my children, they are my life. But according to you folks and your twisted outlook, I would never have had a chance to be the great mom I am if my children had been taken without even giving me a chance. I know my kids are alot better off being with me even having gone through the tough times than they would be in foster care or adopted out. the world would be a much better place if we all could have some compassion and put ourselves in others' positions. being punitive to people with these problems helps no one, including the children!!!

Children who are born addicted should go into respite care and have the mum get clean before the child is returned...I support the idea of family centres where mothers could stay with their babies in a clean environment. So many of these mums are living a haggard existence and bringing up baby is simply continuing the cycle of abuse.

I watched a programme in which you saw a baby going through heroin withdrawal. The cry is like nothing you will have ever heard. It is vile, it bought me to tears. The baby was tearing at itself.. a newborn. The mother didn't care.. she should have gave up but she didn't, social services let her keep the baby. Why on earth?! She gave up her right as a mother the moment she carried on taking drugs. She was offered help & given help but still went out and scored heroin. The thing is, why didn't she score morphine if she needed it so bad? An ex addict was told by a Dr if she ever took too much methodone to just score morphine instead of herioin because it gives the same affect but doesn't undo the work you've done with the methodone. It's horrible & I know of a mother who scored heroin just after she gave birth, thankfully the mothers sister in law knew the guy was a dealer & grassed him up. Some people are vile Faith, it is simple, they don't deserve to be mothers. They are sent on detox programs sometimes but there are ways of getting around it, you just don't take it a couple days before your check up.

I grew up with an alcoholic mother so I know what lengths 'addicts' go to in order to keep their habit first and foremost in their lives. Their 'source' whatever it may be, is more precious than life itself. Children, partners, parents do not exist as far as the addict is concerned, and no matter what, even if you can get them to admit they have an addiction, they feel they can always justify it.
