Cocaine in children: I think you should take these children to a pediatrician. Also you may have test the children until they are negative for cocaine.You may also need to let the social workers and the state to know about this. You may have watch for any withdrawal symptoms if the children were exposed to Cocaine long term. It is too concerning, hence they should be under care of a pediatrician.
