Eric Likness<p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/TIL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TIL</span></a> urine drug tests are unreliable. And in states where urine tests are administered to pregnant women, it triggers a huge mechanism of punishing actions by Child Services in the states where they are mandated. They threaten to take your kids away on the first positive sign of drugs, no questions, no actual consulting/interviewing or investigation. Simple test says yes, and your life is ruing. <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/CBSSundayMorning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CBSSundayMorning</span></a></p>
