Drinking while pregnant is not illegal. Taking drugs, pregnant or not, is.

What made you assume fetus when the OP said infant?

Infant exposed to alcohol” made my think OP is referring to a newborn who tested positive for alcohol. It is by far the most common scenario in which an infant would have alcohol in their system. I'm not really even sure I understand OP's question, but my impression when I answered was that it was asking about prioritizing the reporting of a baby who tested positive for these substances, not literally going through the steps of reporting. Perhaps OP is actually a nurse trying to carry out the mandatory reporting process. The lack of information and poor grammar makes it hard to tell.
