I've heard children are the real victims of this drug, is this true?

In 831 meth-lab raids in the state last year, law enforcement officers removed 228 children. The average age was 8, according to the federal drug trafficking task force. Compared with other neglected children, children who are rescued  from the filth, drugs and dangerous chemicals have more developmental problems, are more likely to be sexually abused, violent and have more lice and rotten teeth, according to social service workers and a doctor in Pierce county.
