Children of Methamphetamine: Involved Families: The Case of Rural Illinois by Wendy Haight
Authors: Wendy Haight, Teresa Ostler, James Black
Methamphetamine not only destroys the lives of those who become addicted to it, but affects all corners of society, including innocent children. This important book follows the case of rural Illinois, where in the mid-1990s methamphetamine production and misuse became a significant problem and, as a result, child welfare professionals saw an influx onto their caseloads of children whose parents were involved with the drug. The authors’ account of the problems the children face, and of the efforts to help them, sheds useful light on possibilities for many other situations.
