‘Crack baby’ study ends with unexpected but clear result

“A social worker on TV predicted that a crack baby would grow up to ‘have an IQ of perhaps 50.’ A print article quoted a psychologist as saying ‘crack was interfering with the central core of what it is to be human,’ and yet another article predicted that crack babies were ‘doomed to a life of uncertain suffering, of probable deviance, of permanent inferiority.’  But the researchers consistently found no significant differences between the cocaine-exposed children and the controls. Drug use did not differ between the exposed and nonexposed participants as young adults.”
