MINNESOTA: Meth labs putting more kids at riskMinnesota is seeing an alarming increase in the number of children exposed to methamphetamine labs, according to a Hazelden Foundation report released Wednesday.
The number of children exposed to operational meth labs rose fivefold, from 11 in 2001 to 57 last year. At least 47 of the children lived in a home with a meth lab. Some Minnesota officials believe the problem may be much greater than the numbers indicate.
"These numbers really suggest that more and more kids are being exposed to operational methamphetamine labs," said Carol Falkowski, director of research communications at the Hazelden Foundation. "Regardless of the drug, kids who grow up with addiction in the family grow up with less than ideal parenting. But with methamphetamine labs, kids are also exposed to physical hazards, the toxic fumes, explosions and fire."
In addition, Falkowski noted that meth abusers often go on multiple-day binges without sleep, lose track of time and may neglect basic duties of parenting, such as feeding, supervising, bathing and bedtime.
She recalled one case in which a Minnesota law enforcement officer told her of finding a small meth lab beside a crib. Last year, two girls, ages 11 and 2, died in a fire at a house that contained a meth lab in Otter Tail County, although fire investigators believe the blaze started in another part of the house. The children had been left unattended.
The increase in children exposed to meth labs coincides with an overall increase in the number of meth labs seized by law enforcement in Minnesota. Last year, 239 meth labs were seized in the state, up from 152 the previous year and 35 in 1998, according to the Hazelden report.
In the first 11 months of this year, Minnesota officials have reported 286 meth labs in Minnesota, according to the Hazelden report.
But those numbers may underestimate the problem because reporting remains spotty, said Deborah Durkin, an environmental scientist with the Minnesota Department of Health. She said law enforcement officials estimate that the number of labs seized across the state of Minnesota may be closer to 400 and that children are found at about half of those. The actual number of labs never detected is likely many times greater, she said.
"Meth alone without lab activity is a really bad thing for kids," said Durkin, a member of the Minnesota Meth Lab Task Force. "When you add the chemical hazards, the potential for fire, explosions and other hazards you've just got a nightmare."
Overall, methamphetamine accounted for a small but growing portion of the overall drug-abuse problem. In the first half 2003 in the Twin Cities, meth accounted for just 6.6 percent of the primary addiction of people admitted to treatment programs, behind alcohol, marijuana and cocaine.
Research in other states has uncovered a troubling ailments among kids exposed to meth labs, such as chronic coughs, persistent skin rashes and red, itchy eyes. A Colorado study found that half of the children taken from such sites had learning disabilities. About 90 percent were reliant on inhalers, and most were found to be malnourished and display erratic sleeping habits. A University of Arizona study discovered that children residing with meth "cookers" and users were at an increased risk of shaken-baby syndrome and other abuse.
There have been attempts in recent years to make meth-lab operators more accountable for putting children at risk. Earlier this year, Sen. Satveer Chaudhary, DFL-Fridley, and Rep. John Lesch, DFL-St. Paul, proposed legislation to add new child- endangerment charges to adult meth-lab operators. In addition, Sen. Julie Rosen and Rep. Bob Gunther, both Fairmont Republicans, have proposed other measures to attack the meth problem on other areas such as restricting sales of key ingredients.
