This post is so old that you may not see this reply, but you are a horrible person. You obviously (like most CPS workers) do not understand addictions. It's not ok to say these mothers are selfish. Maybe you should educate yourself a little more before judging so hatefully. Marijuana is not (no matter what you people say) in the same category as meth, cocaine, heroin, etc. Marijuana is becoming more and more legal because even Dr's (who are way more educated than yourself) are agreeing that it is very useful in the world of medicines. Do you have children? Did you have a difficult pregnancy? Could you eat without getting sick? Did you have an appetite? Did you have a difficult time sleeping? There are so many reasons that marijuana is used during pregnancy. Some mother's have very difficult, miserable pregnancies, and without the use of occasional marijuana, it's more harmful to the baby because of stress, lack of sleep, lack of appetite, etc. How about you not be a judgemental b***h? Happy f*****g New Year.
Illinois has to b the worst.
The lil ppl need a voice, and the system isn't working!!
I have epilepsy and smoked on and off when my anticonvulsants stopped working to ensure I wouldn't have seizures that would kill my baby. So no. It's not selfish. You cps workers are so screwed up. Rather take a child for weed which is legal in most states and was only criminalized to allow the narcotics industry to make money than take a neglected or actual abused child. You have no respect. You are biased on the subject due to the false material y'all eat up from the media. It's gross. So you can target young mothers. Most those who have been in your screwed up and over crowded system. So you can take their children based on the fact they went into care. And allow foster parents to abuse the children. Jesus. If ur gonna take a kid take one who was exposed to meth or heroin. Not f*****g weed. Selfish c**t
