What happens when DARE has unintended consequences and a kid narcs on their own parents, ripping a family apart. A fifth grader brought his parents’ marijuana cigarettes to school, and reported them, which lead to the arrest of the parents and social services stepping in. Radley Balko, senior editor for Reason Magazine and Reason.com says DARE is giving the wrong impression to kids by comparing pot to drugs like cocaine. He explains why the program is effective.

dare should be teaching our kids the truth. not lies about DOPE! they should teach kids to not do drugs their parents wouldn’t approve!!!
lets all drink and kill our families, it’s legal.
but hell no smoking pot and watching tv chillin’ is illegal
they teach them to drink alcohol
What about parents who play video games excessively? Are you going to start snatching kids away from parents who play world of warcraft too much for your liking?
@ekeyra no i believe parents shouldnt drink either. and yes they are mutually exclusive, its just impossible to see that if you are a drug user.
@FROMOUTHERE Being a good parent and being a recreactional drug user are not mutually exclusive. Ontop of that im assuming that you are so narrow minded to believe that only illegal drugs are bad and that parents who drink perfectly legal alchohol are just fine upstanding citizens. Ill take a pothead parent over an alchoholic one any day.

@ekeyra what parents choose to do with thier bodies, minds and free time can ruin thier kids future. and yes its none of my business, its THEIR business and they should handle thier business the right way if they care about thier kids. providing for them means more than giving them food and clothes. people can do drugs all they want but when they decide to have children, its time to grow up.
@FROMOUTHERE Whatever people choose to do with their bodies, minds, and free time is none of your business and irrelevant to the conversation as long as those parents are providing for their children.
Shank a snitch! Shank ‘dat snitch!
if you do drugs, dont have kids. its that easy. dont be such a shitty parent. you know you can have your kids taken away from you but you do it anyway. shows how responsible you are. you are retarded. if you are a parent its time to stop acting like a damn teenager. just quit drugs, you are an adult now. grow the fuck up and be responsible. damn hippies.
@sleepless4201 yep!! It will just piss off the parents ..Plus who’s gonna take care of the kids when there parents are in JAIL….!!
keyz-
Wow, those kids will regret that decision for the rest of their lives!
Might as well give that kid up for adoption.
It is the exclusive purview of parents to teach their children about the outcomes or consequences of drug use. The unitary central state has no business in such decisions.
When I was in school we had a saying about people who are snitches:
Snitches get Stitches
The kids are probably getting sold into sexual slavery by CPP already.
one part of usa says looks its ok even benefits then other part of gov fuks ya family with no fine just sentence..well done good display..usa wouldnt know what leadership impression even sounds like,let alone grasped it.
Kid is told that Marijuana = Cocaine = Speed = Heroin.
Kid finds out that Marijuana actually isn’t that bad after all.
So kid figures that, logically, Cocaine, speed, Heroin, Ice, PCP, Crack must not be so bad either.
Can anyone see the next logical step here?
Are the people running DARE really that dumb or is someone trying to drum up business for the (private) prison system? Does anyone care that America through this form of social control is knowingly killing its own children?
I don’t like the drugs but the drugs like me!

Lol. I used to joke around with my friend that we’d be wearing dare shirts and we’d be smoking a joint outside and we’d get arrested with them.
I tell my son if he is ever asked anything about what goes on in my home to say he don’t know anything.Not that there is it’s just they are trying to frame parents for anything they can use to put us away and take are kids from us.Just talk to ur kids let them know what the schools are trying to do and let them see videos of school with cops talking to the kids. And explain to them what can happen if they tell them anything bad protect you & ur kids at all cost..
drugs are fun.. if you do them responsibly and are not an idiot
