COUNT SHOWS METH IS DESTROYING TENNESSEE FAMILIES
CHATTANOOGA TENNESSEE - Methamphetamine is shattering dozens of Tennessee families each month, a new count of Tennessee children placed in state custody shows, and Tennessee case workers are seeing an increase in addicted babies.
The count requested by The Associated Press - 600 Tennessee children taken from parents involved with the addictive stimulant and placed in state custody since the start of 2002 - does not include meth-displaced children in Tennessee who are placed with relatives.
The Tennessee Department of Children's Services, in an incomplete count, reported placing 112 rural Tennessee children in foster care due to meth investigations since March 1. A count provided to the AP in late February showed 488 Tennessee children taken into state custody since Jan. 1, 2002, also mostly in rural Tennessee communities.
