If people intake known harmful substances during pregnancy, can they be charged?

Question

like if someone smokes or drinks heavily during pregnancy and knows they are pregnant and their baby comes out with a disorder or problem that is releated to those habits can the mother go to jail? ex. fetal alcholol syndrome?

Answer 1

I don't know about going to jail...but possibly because it is endangering the welfare of a child...but I know for sure the child can be taken away from the mother

Answer 2

Well, where can we draw the line?

A mother to be who daily consumes fast food and diet sodas is doing plenty of damage to her baby too.
