- Description
- While Alabama leads the nation in arrests of pregnant drug users, Etowah County stands apart. No county does more to locate, jail and keep new mothers behind bars under Alabama's chemical endangerment law.
Alabama lawmakers created the chemical endangerment law to protect children from meth lab hazards, but Etowah and a handful of other counties apply the law to alleged hazards in the womb from drug use. The law makes it illegal to knowingly expose or permit a child to ingest illegal drugs. Etowah prosecutors have said they are protecting the fetus from potential exposure to drugs by holding mothers in jail.
For smoking marijuana, Chelsea Stewart found that she had become something both disgraceful and common: another pregnant woman headed for jail in Etowah County. But Stewart and many mothers like her say they were charged for use that happened before they knew they were pregnant.
