<P>THEY WERE BORN -- ADDICTED TO PAIN KILLERS --
<P>34:14 its a terrible tragic situation faced with a situation that that child is at very high risk to be born with -- multiple symptoms that include irritably throwing up acute change for vital signs seizures risks for forgetting to breath 35:24 
<P>THE PROBLEM SCALING THE CHARTS--
<P>THE STATE HAS SEEN A 430% INCREASE.
<P>LEE COUNTY HAS SEEN AN 800-PERCENT INCREASE OVER 7 YEARS.
<P>THE EPIDEMIC HAS LED THE STATE TO FORM A TASK FORCE -- WHICH RECOMMENDED TO STATE LEGISLATURES A PLAN TO KEEP MOTHERS AND BABIES CLEAN. 
<P>"What we want to propose in the governor's budget this session is to invest an additional $22 million into the front end of the child welfare system around substance abuse, intervention and substance abuse treatment programs."
<P>THE STATE SAYS PREVENTION WILL SAVE MONEY BY KEEPING THE BABIES OUT OF FOSTER CARE.
<P>BUT IT'S TRICKY --CURING THE ADDICTION *MUST COME BEFORE THE PREGNANCY.
<P>ONCE A WOMAN IS PREGNANT -- THE ADDICTION CAN ONLY BE MANAGED --* NOT CURED DURING THOSE 9 MONTHS.
<P>IT TAKES 2 TO 3 WEEKS FOR A BABY TO BE WEANED FROM ITS PAIN PILL ADDICTION.
<P>BUT DOCTOR'S SAY THE MOTHER'S CHOICE --TO USE --AFFECTS BABY --WELL INTO THE FUTURE.
<P>35:31 after they go home they've been found to have increased in developmental delay learning disabilities Adhd behavior issues --its a problem thats undefined in the full scope of the baby and the family 35:49
