Court sides with mom who gave birth while on methadone

Court sides with mom who gave birth while on methadone - NBC40.net:
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - New Jersey's Supreme Court says a woman can't be considered to have abused and neglected her child because the infant was born with symptoms of methadone withdrawal.

The ruling published Monday reverses a lower court ruling that required her custody to be state-supervised.

Comment:I wonder if this case help's out the Mother's in the other States, including New Hampshire. Mother's whose newborns were stolen and adopted out because the Mother's were on Methadone. Mother's who were court ordered OUT of Methadone treatment! Will these Mother's cases be considered Null and Void?
