Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I just walked in on a foster child and caught her smoking meth.. I have contacted and reported it to the social worker. Now I am worried, what about the smell, residue in the room/home? Should I worry? She has been here for a few days and I did not find it till tonight and now I know that is what I have been smelling.
