abstract="Although the methamphetamine epidemic in the United States has caught the attention of law enforcement and the media, the needs of the children living in so-called &quot;meth homes&quot; have not yet been addressed. These children are endangered from not only the chemicals involved, but also parental abuse and/or neglect. Little is known, however, about how drug-endangered children are faring. This article summarizes the levels of health and well-being of drug-endangered children at the time they were removed from meth homes. Differences between children whose parents use meth and whose parents use other drugs are noted. Overall, the subjects are a highly traumatized, troubled, developmentally delayed group of very young children.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
