Drug Endangered Children
Drug abuse is not a victim less crime. There are millions of children like me in this country. Millions. They suffer from abuse and neglect because of their parents drug addictions.
Over the past 10 years, fueled by alcohol and illegal drugs, the number of abused and neglected children has more than doubled-- from 1.4 million in 1986 to more than 3 million in 1997 1. And 2.4 million children in this country have a parent in prison for a drug-related offense. 2.4 million children. And drug use causes or exacerbates most cases of child neglect and abuse. The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University (CASA) estimates that substance abuse and addiction is the chief culprit in at least 70 percent of all child welfare spending.

hi guys,
A lot of people are suffering from the alcoholism or from the drug addiction and
they do not receive a proper help. It is a real punishment for the relatives
and friends of such a person, it is very difficult to stand such people, but
if you really love a person who is trapped by the some kind of addiction, do
not shout at him or her, do not drive out him or her, because you are the only
person who can help. People with the addictions do not need your empathy orsympathy;
they need a medical treatment. And the sooner you will apply to the rehabilitation
center, the more chances you have to treat your close person. However, you have to
understand, that except the common medical treatment, he or she needs a psycho treatment,
and if you want to put him or her at the good drug treatment center, you are welcome.visit on this site.
thanq.
