[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 71607"] Hi Liliana, My son is younger than your daughter. He was only 10 when he purchased pot, was caught(at school) and he admitted to smoking. My reaction...I called the doctor and requested a drug test. Wanted him screened for All drugs. - this came back clean. Even to what he admitted doing. - Dr. said he either didn't know what he was doing, or pretended - I had random drug tests. Requesting blood draws also. - I have home drug tests purchased from Walgreens. - I arranged for a tour of the Detention Center. I did not forbid the group of friends. I was afraid if I did that he would sneak around and lie to us. The time he saw any other kids were limited. An hour or two. He knew I had the home tests. I told him if I ever found drugs on him in our house, or in his room, I would call the police. When he whined and complained I asked if he would rather live somewhere else and follow those rules. I told him I loved him often. Grantid, being as young as he is/was, it is much easier to control. I speak with teachers/counselors and social workers often. I know the staff cannot tell me anything about other students, I do ask there opinion about whomever he may be hanging around with at the time. Basically ask if I should encourage or discourage a relationship. From the way they answer that, I come to my own conclusion. They would never come right out and say either one, I just try to read between the lines. Fortunately he has changed his group of friends not long after he became involved with them. Even so..I still have a stock of drug tests in the house. This was his first year of middle school, and I was terrified. We are now entering his last year of middle school. We definately have struggled through. No incidents of alcohol or drugs since. I pray you get the drugs under control. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
