change in the use of illegal substances could influence these numbers, including funding for law enforcement and the Department of Human Services, detection technology advances, changes in the Iowa code, and public awareness and pressure. The enactment in May of 2005 of the Iowa Pseudoephedrine Control Act, which required selling pseudoephedrine products from behind the counter rather than on store shelves, probably helped to decrease the number child abuse cases involving manufacturing methamphetamine in the presence of a minor. These numbers included each confirmed type of abuse on each report of abuse for each child. Each child may be confirmed to have suffered multiple types of abuse on a single report, and each child may have multiple reports. Presence of an illegal drug is defined as the presence of an illegal drug in a child’s body as a direct and foreseeable consequence of the acts or omissions of the person responsible for the child’s care. Illegal drugs used in this definition include cocaine, heroin, amphetamine, methamphetamine, marijuana, other illegal drugs, or combinations or derivatives of illegal drugs not prescribed by a health practitioner. Manufacturing methamphetamine in the presence of a minor is defined in Iowa Code 232.2 subsection 6, paragraph p. It occurs when the person responsible for the care of a child manufactures a dangerous substance or has possession of the methamphetamine precursors, ephedrine or pseudoephedrine, with the intent to use the product as a precursor or intermediary to a dangerous substance in the presence of a child.
