If you know about it and you let it happen, then I believe the answer would be YES. If you didn't know what was going on and it was behind your back as well, then I can't see how they could include you. Spouse's keep all kinds of secrets.

Yeah, probably. Some people are jerks enough to try anything. Keep their prying eyes and nose out of your house, and do your drugs on the down low.

>ErinEileen. There are several reasons. First of all, if the father is smoknig in the house, the lids are breathing the smoke. Second, the father, while high, might either hurt the kids, or not pay attention and they could get into something that would hurt them. Three, his money might be going drugs, instead of things the kids need. Now,don't get me wrong. I smoked weed for years,and think it should be de criminalized. But I do not think an adult should be smoking around kids.

Thanks for responding- I do agree with you on all accounts, he is however not smoking in front of them. Or in the house. What I am trying to find out is if the state can come and take children from a family because the father is regularly high?

Well, yes. They can.

TurboB

how would anyone find out? Is he a functional father and able to take care of the child?
