[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 764177, member: 4152"] I know my eyes were opened when we helped move our adult child to a more rural area about an hour from our home. We had no idea the area had a drug problem, particularly meth. This couple who were drug users and dealers took advantage of of our daughter (not a drug user, but mentally ill) and things got really insane fast, because in addition to that horrible situation, our adult "child" makes hideous decisions, repeats mistakes as she doesn't have any cause and effect reasoning, thinks she knows best (nope!), breaks rules and is often mega unappreciative , moody and disrespectful. It makes for a very bad/wild combination of factors. Anyway, when we were trying to sort out the horrible mess, some people related to law enforcement quietly told us about the bad drug problem, about how the jails were revolving doors and how many easily make bail , how they thought things were too lenient and how the problem especially in recent times seem to be escalating. The people who took advantage of our daughter and caused our family extreme stress were long term drug users, dealers and had a "rap" sheet a mile long. There is no doubt when things started to get sorted out on our end, they were moving on to find their next victim and continue with their chosen "profession" practically right in in the open. So, I can see where rural areas might be at high risk and things likely are worsening...I think I saw this very thing. It was very sad and concerning. [/QUOTE]
