North Dakota Mother Charged With Child Neglect, Allegedly Breast-Fed Baby While Drunk

The problem I have with this is that if you report a pregnant woman for doing drugs or drinking while pregnant, there is nothing the police can do about it. After all, until the baby is born, it is not a child. Never mind the fact that alcohol abuse during pregnancy causes permanent brain damage in children. Using drugs while pregnant also causes major problems for children. Yet, these children are in no way protected, because until that child is born, it is not a child (according to the law). Yet, the children have to pay for it for the rest of their lives.
