Crime feed: Though it may be unsettling, this video is making the rounds showing a baby born with a heroin addiction.
The footage shows a baby named Jacoby, who was born addicted to heroin, violently shaking and constantly twitching following birth. The disturbing clip includes Jacoby’s mother, Clorissa Jones, talking about her debilitating dependency.
The Daily Mail points out that this occurrence isn’t uncommon, as more than 130,000 children were born with a drug addiction in the U.S. in the past year. In fact, Jones’ second son was born addicted to methadone, a potent pain medication. That drug is also commonly used to help wean people off of heroin.
“A lot of people are like ‘how could you dare do that?” she said. “How could you dare do that to your child? But, nothing matters except for getting high. When I’m getting high, nothing matters and I’m very selfish. I’m self-centered.”
