If someone on strong drugs touches a baby will baby get side effects?
I am caring for a baby I think is being exposed to drugs by his mom touching or kissing him.
He is a foster baby and I have taken him for visitations twice and he has been extremely tired and lethargic after both visits. He is two months old and she is not passing her drug test. I want to give possible proof if possible to the State so they will make her be clean to see him. He was born on crack and his mom test positive for several hard drugs she will take or do anything it seems by past test results.

If you suspect anything, can you try asking CWS to swab the baby and test for meth or anything like that right after the visit when you get there to pick him up?
The baby does have rights, trust me. If you have a good social worker on that case, they are feeling pain and concern for that child because of the positive test results and will be working to make a case for the next Court date to have the visitation rights terminated or, at the very least, reduced and changed to supervised, more if the case is reaching 12 months.
Have you voiced your concerns to your social worker at a home visit, CWS office visit, or by phone/email? If not, do so. See what the options are.

I was told this but I need documentation. Would you know where to get that? I don't want her to do more harm to him than she already has. She is my niece and he is my great nephew. So family fostering is hard. I know something is happening to him during visitation because of how he acts after.
I don't think it is asking too much for her to be clean to see him. But, the state just wants to reunite mother and baby. Baby has not much rights it seems.

I do believe meth is different though. There is something called meth residue. Basically, if someone smokes it, it will cling to any surface such as their clothes. Holding the baby would indeed then transfer the drug to the baby. good luck
