72 of 89 children born by opiate- and methadone-addicted mothers were reinvestigated 1 to 10 years after birth. Only 25% were found to by physically, mentally and behaviorally normal. 56% were hyperactive, aggressive, with a lack of concentration and social inhibition. 10% had a severely and 11% a moderately impaired psycho-motor development mainly due to deprivation. 43% of the children had been removed from their mothers by the courts. The average number of shifts from one milieu to another was 6 per child with an upper range of 30 shifts for some of the children. The average number of shifts from one caregiver to another was 5 with an upper range of 11. These findings indicate that there is an urgent need for politicians, social welfare and health personnel to reexamine their roles in helping these children, who will otherwise develop into a new generation of social loosers.
对89名母亲为阿片类药物和美沙酮成瘾者所生儿童中的72名在出生后1至10年进行了再次调查。结果发现，只有25%的儿童在身体、心理和行为方面正常。56%的儿童多动、有攻击性、注意力不集中且缺乏社交抑制能力。10%的儿童有严重的心理运动发育障碍，11%的儿童有中度障碍，主要原因是被剥夺。43%的儿童已被法院从其母亲身边带走。每个儿童从一个环境转移到另一个环境的平均次数为6次，有些儿童的上限为30次。从一个照顾者转移到另一个照顾者的平均次数为5次，上限为11次。这些发现表明，政治家、社会福利和卫生人员迫切需要重新审视他们在帮助这些儿童方面的作用，否则这些儿童将发展成为新一代的社会失败者。
