AboutEugenia Springer, Ph.D. Expertise I can answer your questions on how to stop being a victim, and/or how to stop being an abuser. My ability to help you, however, would depend on your willingness to assume full responsibility for helping yourself.
Experience From the 1970s to the present, my life has been a search after knowing my purpose, knowing myself, and knowing God. I talk about this search in my 2002 book, "Further Insights Into the Journey".
After years of teaching biology at university, I became a radio Family Life Counselor, and a newspaper columnist, responding to callers on radio, and replying to letters from the public, in the newspapers.
My book for the adolescent girl, "Girl, It's All About You"(Review & Herald Publishers 1980, and out of print) was my attempt to marry my field of training--biology, and my adoptive field--interpersonal relationships.
"Further Insights Into the Journey" is about my search for personal freedom--a search for freedom from external controls; for freedom from fear. Through very instructive experiences, many sorely trying, I uncovered that freedom within me, and found myself progressively experiencing increasingly greater measures of peace.

Question Please answer what u can as this is a cross and inter disciplinary question. And I don’t expect u to know it all:
What will child or adult protective services or bureau of child welfare or division of youth and family service, omrdd omh etc or other municipal, state or federal agency do about a report of an 18 you. Female who is special end and manic depressive and drinks alcohol and smokes marijuana during pregnancy? At what stage of intoxicant inebriant usage and stage of pregnancy will they intervene, advise abortion or adoption, insist upon it, forcibly medicate or incarcerate or institutionalize, hospitalize, medicate, or advise abortion beyond the legal deadline for either New York or Georgia?
Or authorize an abortion beyond the legal limit?
Which is? In New York? In Georgia?
What can be done to restrain a potential mother who does not comply with surgeon generals warning about drugs and alcohol during preg?
How much or extensive or which type does the alcohol or marijuana or other drug usage have to be to get the attention of the authorities?
What about risky sexual behavior which could affect the child in the case of contracted STD’s?
What if there is an intervention and someone notices or suspects that there already may be fetal damage
Is it possible to tell in advance and how, that the baby is damaged by poor diet or ingestion of contraband?
What would doctors advise at different stages of usage, potential damage, or pregnancy?
Would there or could there be evaluations done of current and potential for future damage?
Answer Dear YER,
Call Social Services. They will take care of all your concerns.
My heart goes out to the mother, and unborn child. But if this mother-to-be behaves in a way that shows she is incapable of taking care of herself and of the unborn child, intervention is necessary, and Social Services is quite capable of doing what needs to be done.
