Oregon Court of Appeals rules mother who tested positive for marijuana shouldn't lose kids

Submitted by dguard on
The Oregon Court of Appeals ruled that the state cannot take children away from a mother who tests positive for marijuana use without evidence that shows her drug use endangers the children. The state had argued that the mother's marijuana use "presented a reasonable likelihood of harm to her two children", but the court agreed with the mother's argument that the state failed to provide any evidence connecting her behavior with risk to the children.
