Question by Judy M: My daughter came home from dad’s complaining that he smoked something that burned her eyes, made her cough…
She is 13 and knows what cigarettes and marijuana smell like. I have called the police and am awaiting special investigations department to open. She said that it burned her eyes, tickled her throat and made her cough. I know that 15 years ago he had smoked crack cocaine, and I suspect that it is what he smoked. She has been “seeing ghosts” and “it moved by itself” which started at his house on Saturday night and continued through Sunday night after she returned home! Which she reported to me at bedtime Sunday night. We will meet with a counselor and/or the police tomorrow to discuss it. Would crack cocaine or maybe crystal meth make a person hallucinate? She couldn’t describe the smell but said that the smell was in her stuffed animals: Maybe I should take the stuffed animals to the police. What could be my best plans of action now? Of course, she will not return to his apartment anytime soon! I was told to consult an attorney about visitation. Can you help us, please?

Going to the police is a good call, take the stuffed animals too in case they can identify the drug from the smell. Also, find your daughter an Alateen meeting, which help children of alcoholics and drug addicts. You will probably have see a lawyer about custody, but she may be old enough to choose by now. I’m not sure about what he smoked, but it’s probably not legal based on his history.
