For the life of me I don't know where to post this, though maybe here......

I have a question regarding drug-toxicology testing for opposing parents invoved in custody dispute. I know of case involving a local family (no relation). Early forties parents with 3 children between them. Both parents have lengthy drug related charges and convictions. Many police visits to the home regarding domestics. Now both are in legal proceedings regarding custody of the kids. Both parents have to piss test, and one parent is getting someone to pee for him, is still using, and is lying, and it is working to his advantage and this woman may lose her kids.

My question is this. Do they do blood toxicology for these type of things? And would it be ethical to randomly do a blood toxicology on a parent for the purpose of determining parental fitness?

I think it would be fair. This guy is a hitter and would rather have a bill up his nose than buy his baby pampers.

Are you sure? I would have thought that the whole urination process would be monitored...literally.

I think a anon call to the opposing attorney would do the trick. However the question is is the mom really fit as well?

I would have thought that supervision of the pissing would mandatory too. My best friends ex-husband used to drink/smoke, etc. and beat the hell out of her. After his arrest and subsequent sentencing, his parole officer used to make unannounced visits to the house at like 3 or 4 a.m. to randomly piss test him.

After his parole officer took another position, the new officer could care less...and Todd (the ex) could literally smuggle in piss for his testing. It's ludicrious, and if I were you, I would make a phone call. If something happened to those kids, you'd never forgive yourself.
