Is there such a thing as a crack baby?

Question by Superhero, Black: Is there such a thing as a crack baby?
today in class, my prof. asked us if we think crack babies really exist. Sure people raised their hands. I mean, we’ve heard the term and have been taught that these babies do in fact exist when a mother is on crack cocaine.

Crack babies have been known to be academically challenged and/or some other ways defective. But is crack really the sole root of the problem?

Consider this: A pregnant woman is on crack. Do you honestly think this crack-addicted woman is taking pre-natal vitamins and getting regular check-ups? Also, isn’t there a very big chance that this woman is also drinking alcohol and possibly smoking cigarettes. Isn’t it also possible that in her drug altered state, she is not eating properly and really just not taking care of herself at all? There is not telling what kind of activities this woman is engaging in.

So how do we know that it’s really crack that has messed up her baby? There’s no possible way to find out. We can’t get someone addicted to drugs and then do everything else the right way because of course, the drugs will just ruin all good sense in that person and the experiment will never work.

I once thought that crack babies could exist but after today, I’m not too sure.

What do you guys think of what I learned? Do you still think it’s possible after considering all the possibilities that a baby could be a crack baby?
Think, don’t go off on what you think you already know. Consider things please. And if things are facts then you need to post some links to prove said facts.
This discussion took part in a Psychology class, so yeah.
