Another case of child abuse, only this time there's a bit of a twist as it's done with drugs. Wonder exactly what motivated her to do this? Maybe she just wanted her kid to shut up for a while? At any rate, the kid's been removed from her custody and seems to be "clean" at this point. From things I've read and seen, apparently while the "hardcore" stuff has a much greater level of addiction, it apparently also leaves the system a lot easier than stuff like alcohol, so that's one good thing.
Still, very stupid and irresponsible mother here. If a reversable and safe surgery option for essentially neutoring and spaying babies comes along, I think I'll be pushing for the social engineering to make that as standard and recommended a procedure to do to kids as male circumcision is today. That way, kids can be as stupid as they want to be (with regards to the continued risk of STDs) without the risk of accidently creating yet another human spore that will repeat the cycle with a nice lack of education, and when they are actually WANTING to have a kid, they just get the reversing surgery and go for it. It's like the perfect solution to like a billion problems without stepping on anyone's rights or requiring laws (remember, social engineering would be required though).
The other steps would all require legal stuff, but that would be a last resort when I'm supreme dictator.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
