your a close minded idiot. you have no idea what its like to be abused as a child so shut your mouth, drugs are a way to escape from their reality which is so awful you wouldnt even understand. yes its their choice but in most cases its the only way they see out. not everyone is born into a happy priviliged family you idiot. i'd like to see how you'd go after years of abuse by people that are meant to LOVE u and protect u. its confusing and horrible drugs r a escape.

Dumbass! Why do you think they made that choice?  Do you think it may have something to do with the underlying cause of unconscious cognitive dissonance that exists resulting from the repression of childhood memories of abused and only seeing their parents happy when they were high?

I feel as if I'm deciding to quit school and date a woman on drugs. I know what's like to be abused.

@BeStKeLsIx03 Yeah. And as a matter of fact, the "it goes on in a cycle" part reminds me of this excerpt from the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker:

"For all that die from the preying of the Un-dead become themselves Un-dead, and prey on their kind. And so the circle goes on ever widening, like as the ripples from a stone thrown in the water."

~Abraham Van Helsing

Those words remind me that the abused children later grow up and become abusive themselves, and so the cycle goes on. Very sad.

This makes a good point. Especially the fact that the full grown woman is viewed as more valuable than her child counterpart.

Ok stupid, it never said that the parents of the child were drug users. It said that they were ABUSIVE which led to her drug addiction. The child and the adult in this video were the same person.

"People for some reason refuse to see the..."

Because once the child grows up and becomes an offender, we like to sweep those mistakes under the rug. Then we won't be blamed for failing to protect our child. You see, if someone admits that they failed their kid, they must take some responsibility when their kids fail. God help us, we could never do that! So when kids go to prison, we wring our hands and say, what went wrong? Then we get sympathy, when we deserve jail. How am I doing so far?

People for some reason refuse to see the correlation between child abuse and major problems adults have.
