N.H. House Backs Bill Making Untreated Opioid Dependence a Trigger For State to Intervene

N.H. House Backs Bill Making Untreated Opioid Dependence a Trigger For State to Intervene | New Hampshire Public Radio:
The New Hampshire House Wednesday backed a measure that would allow the state Division of Children, Youth and Families to investigate parents suspected of having an opioid dependence. As written, the bill would exempt parents currently involved in treatment or actively seeking treatment. 
My Comment:  "As written, the bill would exempt parents currently involved in treatment or actively seeking treatment." Oddly enough, there are parent's in NH with open DCYF cases due to substance abuse who ARE in treatment. Other's have lost their children because they were in treatment and were ILLEGALLY Court ordered out of it in order to regain custody. Parent's ordered into Medical Detox which was non-existent in NH, making compliance an impossible task. Here is the piece of the Child Protection Act that has been used against parent's who neither neglected or abused their children and I'm quite sure will be used again and again because our Government let's DCYF get away with it:
2 Child Protection Act; Definition of a Neglected Child. Amend RSA 169-C:3, XIX(b) to read as follows:
(b) Who is without proper parental care or control, subsistence, education as required by law, or other care or control necessary for his or her physical, mental, or emotional health, when it is established that his or her health has suffered or is very likely to suffer serious impairment; and the deprivation is not due primarily to the lack of financial means of the parents, guardian, or custodian. I wonder how much money all those "Taken" children brought in to the State, not to mention how much more will be paid by the federal Govt. once this Bill passes.
