Tammy is a divorced mother of three school-aged children and she is pregnant with a third. She has a history of chronic drug abuse, continues to use drugs during her pregnancy, and uses them in front of her children. She is incapable of holding a regular job and resorts to selling drugs and prostitution to make money. When she is not high on drugs, she is depressed and irritable. She is prone to

angry outbursts during which she hits and belittles her children. She frequently locks them out of the house at all hours whenever she is "entertaining" company. Because she spends the bulk of whatever money she is able to get her hands on for drugs, there is rarely adequate food in the house. The children are constantly looking for "handouts" from friendly neighbors. One of the children is diabetic and Tammy pays little attention to her diet or insulin requirements. She has even used the child's needles for her own purposes. On several occasions, she has been reported to the local department of social services because the children are chronically truant from school and appear to be malnourished and frequently have visible bruises on their faces, necks and arms. Tammy has not been complying with the service plan that is in force and her social worker has told her she is going to seek removal of the children and termination of her parental rights so the children, including the baby expected in three months, can be freed for adoption to a "good" home. Tammy says she can't do that because she has a constitutional right to parent her children as she sees fit. Is Tammy right? Does the social worker have an adequate basis on which to pursue termination of Tammy's parental rights? Which kinds of abuse has Tammy committed based on the fact pattern?
