no! It is done under a doctors orders if he/she suspects abuse of drugs by the mother or in some cases a relative or spouse living with the mother. If the mother has a known history of using drugs a test may be initiated to insure there is no current drug problem. A mother may refuse the test but will have to deal with cps who may or may not get a warrant to test both mother and child.

South Carolina does not drug test all newborn children. Instead, they only drug test mothers and babies who are on welfare, or are otherwise dependent on the state. If the babies test positive for drugs, the mothers are required to go to a treatment center for help.

Most hospitals in general test their newborns blood. These tests can detect drug use. You will be prosecuted for child neglect.
