800 infants born addicts
NEW YORK — (UPI) — More than 800 babies born in New York hospitals last year were drug addicts at birth, hospitals Commissioner Alonza S. Yerby reported Thursday.
Yerby told a medical conference on drug addiction in babies that the infants became addicted because their mothers were addicts and the narcotics were fed
into their systems from their mothers' blood.
Dr. Felicia Oliver-Smith of the Health Department reported that 20 per cent of the infant addicts receive no treatment and that 50 per cent die.
