[QUOTE="Gran2Angels, post: 731758, member: 8951"] Hello everyone, I have not posted in years. I would like to to ask for guidance. My adult daughter is 36. She has four children. The two youngest live with their father and other grandparents. The two oldest were in my care for a few years. She has had the oldest two back for awhile now, about 18 months. I still have close contact and basically support a lot of their needs. They are 17 (boy) and 15 (girl). The 15 yr old granddaughter has asked to come back with me full time as of last week. We are working on this. What I need opinions and guidance on is this - I have found out the 17 yr old is smoking pot. My daughter is allowing it at her home and is smoking with him. My sister/daughter's aunt has been staying there a lot lately. Apparently she is also apart of this. As is one of my daughter's girlfriends. They all do it, they all apparently believe it is better for him to do it at home with them out and about with friends. Speaking of friends, my daughter is allowing him to be out and about with friends and even walking places at night. He is 17, no job, not motivated to get his license or permit to drive, grades are now dropping this year... But they say pot has nothing to do with it... oh, but of course not. And do they really think that doing with him at home is stopping him from doing elsewhere? And they think pot smoking doesn't kill brain cells or effective them at all. I am beside myself. I have just found this out. Do I go to the police? Social services? How to go about it? Has anyone dealt with this? Gran [/QUOTE]
