To parents, grandparents and guardians: Wake up! Our children need us. So many are being fined and getting into trouble. There are some idiots out there that think it’s all right to furnish our kids with cigarettes, pot and alcohol. If the kids come up with the money, they can get anything.We need to get more involved, know where our kids are going, who they’re going with, when they’ll be back and how will they get to and from wherever. Know their friends and family. Let the friend’s parents know you won’t tolerate your child drinking, smoking or doing any type of drugs, because there are some parents who will furnish the stuff, and not just for their own kids. Everyone tries something once or twice, but the third time or more will possibly turn into a habit. So, it’s just not those over 21. The only way to stop this mess, is to get to those, whoever they are, who are supplying our kids with whatever. And no kid is going to give someone up.So, it’s up to us to do our homework. And you’d be surprised what you can find out just getting out there and asking. Parents who don’t want to or are not supplying the crap for the kids, just call other parents and get involved. Get groups together and start working on the problems.We can trust our kids right up to rehab and or jail. It’s up to us. Know the whys and hows. Know the parents. Know the kids. And we will find out who is hurting our kids. And that’s what alcohol, drugs and smoking of any kind is doing. Actually they don’t need money at first, but once they’re hooked on whatever, that’s when they need it and that’s when the stealing, etc, starts. Think about it. Sheila JonesMagnolia
