This is the second request that I have sent.  The first didn't seem to make it.
I am the director of a transitional home for severely abused children here
in Israel and am very interested in finding sources pertaining to drug abuse
and parenting.  In what conditions would a CPS worker remove a child from
the home and when would he leave the child in the home?  Also, I would like
any sources pertaining to children born to heroin addicted mothers and
crack/cocain users during pregnancy.

I have read two different studies saying that there is no longterm effect on
children born to mothers that took cocain during pregnancy.  Does anyone
know of longterm research done on these children?

I thank anyone (and everyone...) for their help.
