New effort to help 'meth orphans' in North CarolinaMEAT CAMP, North Carolina — It is a disturbing scene that plays out all too often across Appalachia: North Carolina Authorities raid illicit meth labs set up in rickety trailers and mountain shacks. Using hoses, scrubs and soap, they decontaminate children on the spot and throw away tainted blankets and teddy bears.
For many experts, it symbolizes the plight of the region's growing ranks of "meth orphans": losing their childhoods to what's called the "scourge of the mountains."
Now, however, a growing number of communities across Appalachia are finding ways to care for the hundreds of children separated each year from their parents as a result of drug busts.
In some towns, citizens are building group homes and taking in the children. In other areas, business people and Brownie troops are donating clothes and toys to replace the contaminated belongings that have been discarded. And in places where as many as 60 percent of meth-lab busts involve children, authorities North Carolina are changing their tactics to take into account the welfare of families when making arrests.
"It's become a rescue mission," says Betty Dotson-Lewis, a historian in Somersville, W.Va. "Our communities are having to assume the responsibility to save these children."
The task is a large one. The underworld of meth labs, in which people combine or "cook" household chemicals with readily available over-the-counter drugs to produce a powerful stimulant, has become a significant problem nationwide. But it is particularly entrenched here in the mountains of Appalachia.
Up Meat Camp Road in this steep valley just outside Boone, North Carolina, for instance, "there's six labs cooking right now," says Harry Ray, a car mechanic who has lived in the valley most of his life.
In and around the valley where Indians once hunted buffalo to trade the meat at the camp up on Snake Mountain Gap, officials have noted one of the greatest concentrations of meth labs in the country. Indeed, officials say a 400 percent rise in meth arrests in Boone alone in the past two years only hints at the scope of the problem.
Children are increasingly getting wrapped up in the lawless culture — both as participants and as innocent bystanders.
Here in North Carolina's Watauga County, for instance, one elementary schoolboy recently recited to his class in detail the recipe to cook meth, to the astonishment of his teacher. In another local case, a boy was working for his parents, removing striker strips from the sides of matchbooks to distill a key ingredient (red phosphorus) used in making the home-brewed drug.
But children are also playing a part in stopping the scourge: A recent case in Tennessee involved a 14-year-old girl who informed on her parents, who were manufacturing meth.
For the most part, though, children are being caught in the middle. In Tennessee, about 500 children have been placed in foster care in just the past few years because their parents were arrested for making methamphetamine.
"Our system is overwhelmed right now," says Russ Dedrick, the U.S. attorney in Knoxville, Tenn.
As a result, officials are taking greater care in trying to protect the children being caught in this netherworld of "crystal" and "crank." One approach is to discourage the parents from involving them at all. Missouri, for example, now makes it possible to be sentenced to life in prison for cooking meth in front of a child.
But those laws have yet to make it into Appalachia, where there's still a deep distrust of — and solidarity against — outside authorities North Carolina . Thus local officials are developing other procedures to help the young, such as involving social workers early in the process and decontaminating children at the scene of raids.
Boone has changed the name of a local meth task force to the "Drug-Endangered Children's Program." A dozen other mountain counties have sent representatives to the town to learn its methods.
On a recent Friday, dozens of families came to the Social Services building in Watauga County, North Carolina to donate toys and clothes for the dispossessed children. Cumberland County, Tenn., recently bought an old church and turned it into a foster group home mainly for meth orphans.
"Every time we've needed something, it's just shown up," says Butch Burgess, the county sheriff. Burgess last year took in a foster boy from a drug-addled family — one of 31 foster kids he has cared for in the past 11 years, many of them meth orphans.
"He was 3 years old and 22 pounds when we got him, and now he weighs 40-something," Burgess says. "The first four days he didn't speak at all, but last night at the Christmas service at the church, he led the closing prayer for 10 minutes. We couldn't understand half of what he was saying, but there wasn't a dry eye in the church when he finished. It just tells me that if we can break the cycle with these kids, we've done something positive."
