She's your cousin and you love her, but I seriously hope you do not think twice about alerting social services about these conditions. Heck, get them in there now and give them a little scare so maybe you can save whatever is left of the babies lungs and brain. Maybe if social services comes in and says, "If you don't clean up your act we will take your baby away," they might wake up. Do you have any family members that are willing to raise the kid if they don't get their act together?

I've had a few friends that were in the same situation. One couple was smoking marijuana, cigarettes, drinking whiskey, and took acid before she found out she was pregnant. They quit all that stuff while she was pregnant and now they only smoke marijuana outside of the house.

Just be supportive, make sure she knows you have her best interest at heart, and don't be afraid to show some tough love (especially toward Chris...well, more tough than love).

Jam it back in, in the dark.
