"CRACK" BABIES

[摘要] They can't be cuddled like normal babies. Often their arms and legs, even their necks are rigid. They don't fall into normal sleep patterns. They cry incessantly. . .It is distressing to return the babies to mothers for whom drugs remain the dominant feature of life. Such a mother may be indifferent to her child or abusive when its cries irritate her. The babies are not easy to care for; they lack normal responsiveness. We may see that baby back in the emergency room severely battered. Then the hunt begins for a foster home.
