CBS Covers Assemblyman Benoit and RJ Feild

(RJ Feild) was born addicted to heroin, with meth, alcohol and cocaine also in his system. Months premature, he weighed only two pounds. His birth mother, who was on public assistance, abandoned him in the hospital. No one expected him to survive. Now 16 years old, he just won an essay contest sponsored by California legislator John Benoit, called, “There ought to be a law.” What RJ is proposing: All welfare recipients would be randomly tested for drugs. If they test positive, they’d be offered help. If they refuse to enter rehab, they would loose their benefits.
