[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a FM from an agency I would definitely advise you first to get an attorney.  Then search out all the different services and cost that may be needed, regardless of any signs now. (speech, behavioral, attachment, sleep disorder, vision, community support and more)  [b]I have a five year old and we are still diagnosing effects of canabis effects and he has been in care for over three years. [/b] Without the services that come from the state I don't know how we could afford it.  Waiting for the schools to pick up the services would take to long.     [/quote]

Is there any real evidence that cannabis caused his problems? My DD had cannabis exposure as well as crystal meth and I am under the impression that there no definitive studies on lasting effects.[/quote]

Until they can pinpoint something else all issues have been attributed to cannabis (or as they say drug use) and/or neglect.  "His behavior problems are because of the mother's drug use.  His low cognitive skills may be from his mother's drug use."

We also have younger brother and see none of the same issues although exposure was the same.  [/quote]
