It took Philip a while to drop the nick name Filthy Phil, given to him by the cruel kids at his elementary school. You see, his mother was a Crack Head, but he was the one who had to suffer the consequences for her actions. However, when a less than ideal opportunity came knocking down Philip's door, literally; he had no choice but to take it, which ultimately changes his status from poverty stricken to ghetto fabulous. Yet since he was only eight when he got dragged into the drug world, he would have no clue of the severity of the consequences he would have to face for his own actions. He later discovers how hard but necessary it would be to change his occupation to prevent helping anyone else to become a Crack Baby.

Humphries (sociology, anthropology, and criminal justice, Rutgers U.) analyzes reactions to crack cocaine use, particularly by women, and critiques the policies instituted to combat it. She argues that policies of zero tolerance, mandatory sentences, and interdiction have failed to reduce drug use, increased the sense of persecution among the urban poor, and contributed to court and prison overcrowding.
