My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Virginia
History: My cousin has been a heroin addict for over 10 years and has relinquished her rights to her first daughter. She is currently 35 weeks pregnant with baby #2. I am sure the mother and child will both test positive for illegal drugs after birth. In Virginia this is considered child abuse.
What are the chances that the baby will not be able to go home with mom from the hospital? Will the mother be offered a "plan" in order to regain custody or since this is considered child abuse in VA will the baby be automatically removed with little investigation?
