Meth Babies Face Dangers At Home (Nebraska)

Investigators Say Meth Homes Are Threat To Children

OMAHA, Neb. -- Health experts said they're seeing a dramatic increase in the number of children born with methamphetamine in their systems, but babies born meth addicted aren’t the worst threat the drug makes on the state’s young, KETV NewsWatch 7 has learned.

Kelly Godwin said she took meth when she was pregnant with now 3-month-old Gabriel. Years earlier, state foster care workers took away her 2-year-old over Godwin's drug use.

"It was awful," the mother of two said. "It was like people that get raided for drugs. It was the same, but they raided us for our daughter."

Now, Godwin and her boyfriend say they're drug free. Gabriel shows no signs of health problems.
