[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 450727, member: 59"] I was on a one person mission to let every druggie who hung with difficult child know that I would not hesitate to call the police on them or on my own difficult child if I found drug use or alcohol use. I never got any cooperation from any of those parents because most knew their kids were using and they themselves were. I ended up calling the police on a group of about 20 kids who cut school and went to one of their houses with difficult child and I found out. I sat in the drive blocking any cars from leaving untilt he police came. It ended in my difficult child and the two boys who lived their having to go to juvenile court. I also went to a drug house two summers ago and demanded difficult child come out or I would call the police. The boy who lived there begged me to be quiet so the neighbors wouldn't hear and promised to send difficult child out. She did come out and we had a big argument on the way home. I threatened to call the police if she ever went back there again. Then I printed facebook pictures of all the kids who went to that house every day and sent it to the juvenile officer in our suburb. The house was in foreclosure and the dad was arrested on forgery charges and the mom was off with her new boyfriend. I told a neighbor boy that I knew he gave difficult child her first joint at the age of 14 and if I ever found out he did it again I would report it to the police. I just recently filed charges against the druggie down the street who let difficult child live there for three months because he has been criminally trespassing onour property and damaging our door. We go to court on Aug 22. Did any of that stop difficult child from becoming an addict? No. But I also couldn't stand by and let these hoodlums get away with it. Obviously their parents didn't care what they did but I cared. It is true they did not force difficult child to drink or use drugs but someone has to stand up to them. And it is also true that druggies look for other druggies to hang with, they don't want friends, they want drug contacts. Nancy [/QUOTE]
