Az Law on Drug Use During Pregnancy?

Question by Miss Crickett: Az law on drug use during pregnancy?
This is a sad situation. My distant cousin is a meth addict. His girlfriend is also a meth addict. They have 1 child together that was born prematurely due to her drug use. The child was placed with CPS and now is in the custody of the great grandmother. Now the 16 yr old girl is 8 months pregnant and began having contactions. She tested positive for meth and pot. The baby only weighs approximately 1 lb and is very malnourished due to this girls drug habit. This baby will probably die from her choice to feed it nothing but meth. She did not have legal ramifications for her first pregnancy when the child was born early and had to live with tubes coming in and out of his lil body because of drugs. Now, this child will probably not live a day after it is born. Can she face murder charges? I would hope that the legal system can and will charge her for murder. Does such law exist in Arizona?

You should intervene and contact CPS. Let them know what is going on and they will take it from there.
