what happens to your kids if you report that your spouse is on meth?

There will be an investigation by Child Protective Services and if the spouse is removed from the home and you are proven not to be using, you get the children.  It is best to report them and get help now.  If you wait, it could be determined that you were aware of the meth use and did nothing.  If you do nothing, you are committing child endangerment.  It is knowing that your children are in a dangerous situation and you do nothing.\n\nSo, it is best to get them into treatment or report them to the police and hopefully shock them into getting treatment.  Most drug addicts are more into their drug than anything else including their spouse.

gang bangers?\n\nIf you report to the police, then that should keep them away for some time and some distance. But the only thing you do as your part, is to talk to your children about drugs and how it will affect their family, friends and themselves in future.

I would certainly get help from the organizations that offer help. You must go and seek help even if the husband does not (or cannot) go. YOU must go and find out what CAN be done to save your marriage,your family, your life!You have to make up your mind that you have had ENOUGH the "lifestyle" of a drug user! MAKE UP YOUR MIND AND THEN MAKE A MOVE!

I dont blame you for being concerned about your children being near a place that was making meth. Thats so dangerous and it would scare me too.Maybe you can call your local HUD office and see what kind of answers they have for you..I hope it all works out for you..Good luck!\n\n **Ignore the above poster and the rude comments, some people are really ignorant...

When you go busted for possessing meth, you were probably arrested. Once you are found guilty, if it is your first time, you are eligible for prop 36 drug treatment in lieu of prison. If you are arrested and convicted any additional times, you could be subject to jail or prison.

None. Possibly an episode on Jerry Springer... And some STDs. Thats about it. Maybe an illegitimate child that you will never get child support for. Good luck!

WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION.....WOULD YOU WANT YOUR CHILD SITTING NEXT TO ANOTHER CHILD THAT'S HIGH ON CRACK..I THINK NOT...OF COURSE THEY SHOULD DO DRUG TESTS..IT MIGHT STOP CHILDREN WALKING IN TOO SCHOOLS ARMED TO THE TEETH READY TO SLAUGHTER THE INNOCENT...GET A LIFE

Any thing that contains chemicals gets transferred from the mother to the child so just be careful.

It will be a rough ride but you will have to accommendate the spouse until they feel they can trust you again.  This will include telling them where you are, what you will be doing and hearing the infraction over and over again until they feel you are trustworthy again. \n\nIt will not be easy.

as far as i know they are required to report  child abuse.  Spousal they don't have to report but they can call someone like a social worker to talk to the victim and encourage them to report

Everyone's reaction is different but they tend to be really paranoid and really active. Meth isn't a sit around drug, it's a movement drug. People on meth don't sleep, are extremely sesitive to noise and don't like to be touched without their permission. Here's a site for some more signs.\nhttp://www.savemyteen.org/index_files/Page336.htm

Bite the bullet.  There's meth in your system.

Those are anti-HIV medications aren't they?\n\nI'm not sure about the drug interactions - but I know that Meth makes HIV replicate at a higher rate than when you're not using meth.  Essentially, you're getting more infectious and making yourself sicker everytime you use meth.\n\nMeth also affects the same neurotransmitters in the brain that HIV does.  Many meth users with AIDS progress to dementia much sooner than non-meth using AIDS patients.\n\nIf you're not concerned about your own health, that's your own perrogitive.  I really hope you're protecting your partners though by wearing a condom, or making them wear one.

Absolutely.  If his father is a drug dealer, than he is always running the risk of being involved in violence.  Users will do anything sometimes to get their drugs, including violence.  I used to deal drugs when I was a teenager, but I grew up and found the Lord.  I would never put my children in that situation.  I would say keep him away from his father as much as possible.  Kids are smart.  Don't expose your child to lifestyles that you don't want him to grow up and live in.  Plus, on top of that he is abusive....make the smart choice for your child.

I personally have never done meth, but my dad was a tweeker, my aunt is a tweeker, and so where two of my best friends. The town I'm from is a meth town. It runs rampant in the oilfield. It allows you to stay up hours on end until the job is done. (They don't shut down for to much) The effects are a lack of sleep and an increase in energy. Depending on how long they have been up and how much they have smoked, they will start seeing hallucinations. You get really board and have to find stuff to do. Like my two friends would clean your cars motor with Q-tips. Just because it would keep them busy. When they went to jail they both weighed in at about a hundred pounds. And one of them was about 280 lbs. in high school. This is because most people can't stand to eat when they are spun. They have a loss of appetite. From what I understand Meth makes you feel like your on top of the world, because you have this new found energy. Meth is bad because it's highly addictive. People will steal your shit to support their habit. It has overtaken heroin as the most addictive drug from what I understand. They have also declared Meth as an epidemic. Crazy huh. It now has the highest relapse rate. Parents will often loose their kids due to it and they don't even care. It also crystalizes your lungs. And forms divots in your brain from what I've heard. It's commonly refered to as the devil's drug. My dad has been sober for over 8 years now. And everytime he gets tired at work, he thinks oh man I wish I had an 8 ball, I'd be ganked then and could easily finish this job. Good luck with your report, I hope I helped a little.
