Drug-affected children, whose brains are harmed by exposure to drugs before they are born, hurt communities unless they are themselves helped.
Communities benefit from intensive training across the usual boundaries, involving schools, public health personnel, community centers, foster parents, PTAs, police and sheriffs, the clergy, community leaders, and elected officials. Because all these people and functions are adversely affected by children who don't understand rules, who cannot control their violence, who have no empathy, no conscience, and no remorse, it is most effective to involve the whole community in training workshops.
