You betcha! The fumes created by processing meth is deadly. It can cause maybe problems, the most of common of which are respiratory. God people are stupid. How could they do that to their child!???!

The chemicals in meth basically "strip " the lungs....Look at all of the stuff that goes in it, its poisons children, causes Brain damage from the fumes..there is a list a mile long of the effects on children exposed to meth fumes....I am a firefighter, and we have special suits and masks to wear when we take down a meth lab...my GOD these kids have nothing protecting them from it.I would turn them in, if they are going to keep the children around that they obviously do not need children.

Pneumonia is basically infection in the lungs -- the meth however may have contributed to it by weakening the lungs -- making it more susceptible to catch an infection. so there could be a connection. how irresponsible of that person, to expose his/ her children to that substance -- he/ she should be reported. this is considered neglect

If you are any kind of a person, you need to get this stopped now. if it is in the middle of the night, call the police, report it! or even go to the police station and talk to them face-to-face about this. the kids can't defend themselves.
