In a recent government meeting, serious concerns were raised regarding the welfare of children in a family where the mother, Ms. Robin Harvey, has been found to have a combination of substances in her system, including THC, alcohol, and prescribed medications. Testimonies revealed that Ms. Harvey has a prescription for amphetamines and THC, but the combination of these substances, particularly with alcohol, poses significant risks to her health and the safety of her children, including an infant who tested positive for THC at birth.

Evidence presented indicated that Ms. Harvey's blood alcohol level was above the legal limit of 0.08 at the time of testing, raising alarms about her ability to care for her children. Observations from witnesses noted her slurred speech and inability to stay awake, prompting concerns about her parenting capabilities while under the influence. The meeting highlighted the potential developmental delays and breastfeeding issues associated with THC exposure in infants, emphasizing the need for further testimony on the effects of these substances on child development.

The discussion also touched on the responsibilities of the children's father, Mr. Tyler Long, who has a history of substance-related charges. Concerns were expressed about his awareness of the risks posed by Ms. Harvey's condition and the necessity of safety planning around alcohol use in the household.

The court is expected to take jurisdiction over the family, requiring them to engage in services aimed at ensuring the children's safety and well-being. The meeting concluded with a call for the family to attend necessary health examinations and to ensure that a sober adult is present to care for the children. Further proceedings will provide a clearer presentation of evidence and determine the next steps for the family.
