Baby Formula or Liquid Cocaine? | Law & Order SVU

After a baby is brought into the hospital, not breathing and with symptoms of an overdose, detectives are forced to investigate the cause of the accidental overdose, uncover much more than expected.
Season 4, Episode 12 'Risk': When an infant overdoses on cocaine, Detectives Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) discover the child's baby food to be the culprit, and in the process stumble across a major drug smuggling operation using baby formula to transport their product. However, when internal affairs investigation disrupts their case, Cragen (Dann Florek) sends the squad undercover hoping to flush out a dirty cop running the drug ring.

[@kajhalkasraei2796]

Well as awful as it sounds , parents are always the first person they suspect in a case involving babies. Especially something like overdose and it is because they have the most access to the baby and time to do something . Just like how significant others are the first suspect in a murder case . So it's not really that out of mind fir them ti think she's a druggie and mixed up her drug and baby formula .

[@t-spiders1035]

That's intentional. These shows are, at least in part, meant as propaganda to get you to trust the cops implicitly (part of the deal they make with law enforcement to get details of the process). That's why IA, defense attorneys, and anyone who is seen as "standing in the way" (re: respecting human rights) is painted as a villain.

[@Auroraeevee-m1q]

​​@@Sniperboy5551 Should a woman who underwent a radical double mastectomy try to breastfeed? Or a woman who is triggered by nursing because she was abused s*x#@lly or r@p&d? What about a woman on a medication that is incompatible with breastfeeding? What about foster or adoptive mothers? Or single fathers without access to a wet nurse or milk bank? What about a woman who is starving and simply can't produce milk due to severe malnutrition? Before you or anyone else attacks me, I breastfed all of my kids, including a set of twins. I couldn't make enough milk to exclusively feed them, so I had to supplement with formula. I put a ridiculous amount of pressure on myself to exclusively nurse and I couldn't do it, regardless of what I tried to help increase my milk production. It made my postpartum mental health issues so much more intense and, in the end, it just added to my stress. Formula is the closest thing that we have to breast milk. It's created to provide the same nutrition. It saves lives. Pressuring women to exclusively nurse and shaming them when they can't does no good to anyone.
