11-Year Old Snitches On Parents For Marijuana

What do you all think of this?


Pretty sad that a kid would do that to his own parents who feed and clothe him.

He probably thought he was saving his parents' lives based on what some DARE officer told him.

 

I would imagine that would be really difficult for his parents once this is settled.

Naturally you would want your child back and would want to care for them, but they'd have to stop smoking weed, and they'd really have to get over what their child did to them. They'd be between a rock and a hard place. You love your child no matter what, but at the same time as a human beings you'd be so upset and angry with them.

Criminal record, lost money, lost time, lost jobs, reputation ruined.

 

Beat.His.Ass.

 

Kid was probably angry at his parents, but more likely, he didn't truly understand what he was doing to them.

 

Orwellian shit.

 

fucking little brat

 

Man, I mean it wouldn't be the right way to handle it but I'd seriously discipline the kid, try to educate him from my perspective. But man that would make me so angry I'd probably shun him, I'd probably put him up for adoption or send him off to some school for douches. In the least I'd probably never let him back at my house. But maybe these parents are going to be brainwashed by DARE's influence on their kid that they will think that what they were doing WAS truly wrong and not just a lifestyle choice.

 

11 years old! You can not totally blame the child. Those who coached and influenced that child to do this should be held accountable.

They will not be though.

Sad as at that age authority figures are very powerful and children are very easily influenced.

I feel sorry for that child as I can almost guarantee that they had no clue what was going to happen nor were they told what would happen.

He must be afraid and feel very isolated.

 

You know the old idea of making your kid smoke a whole pack of cigarettes to teach them a lesson after they were caught smoking.

I think when and if this kid is returned his parents should have him smoke a doob and sit down and watch Ren & Stimpy followed by a three hour Phish concert.

He'd repent for his treason in no time.

 

Okay, first of all, no matter what my kid does I will NEVER put him up for adoption. That comment was just ridiculous. Second, I'm sure the kid just didn't know how serious this could be for his family. I mean, what 11 year old wants to loose their parents to jail? Seriously, this is just the gov't corrupting children.

That being said, I plan to have a talk with my son when he gets older about the dangers of HARD drugs, not pot. I have every intention of talking to him about it as early as possible, but of course once he is old enough to keep a secret.

However, I have no idea how to go about this conversation. (granted, he's only 2 so I have quit a bit of time) How would/did you guys tell your kids about your habbits?

 

yeah... this..

thats what my sister said too.. she just over heard the video and was like "oh my god i'd kill him"

 

If you use cannabis just go about your life normally. People drink and smoke in front of their kids.

If your kid(s) grow up around it and are familiar with it (I don't mean literally smoke it in front of them) then they will grow up understanding that it is an alright/good thing and by the time the school tries to instill the fear of god and drugs into them, they should hopefully know better because their mom and dad use it and they're good people.

It's important that kids know that school sometimes teaches them things that aren't always true. People tell them things as a way to protect them because kids don't always have the ability to reason.

But if your kids are familiar with it, i.e.- they know that mom and dad use it to relax or whatever, and that it's meant to be used properly at a certain age, then they won't fear it.

 

I think its horrible that some of you guys are blaming the child. He's 11 and he was forced to participate in some outdated, raegan era brainwashing program. This is why, when I have kids, they are not going to be allowed to participate in the DARE program or any other anti-drug program. It should be up to the parents, and the parents only, to educate their children on the dangers or nondangers of drugs. This really does reek of orwellian practices.

My nephew is 11 and his mom has been openly smoking pot in front of him since he was 5. His dad, my brother, always worried that he would go to school and mention that to a teacher, in which case DSS would immediately be brought in. These are the kind of things that happen when you smoke in front of your child and don't explain to them both the benefits and dangers.

If anyone should be getting the blame, it should be the parents for not talking to him about their habits before he entered into DARE. You can't smoke an illegal substance in front of your kids and expect them to seperate what you're smoking from harder drugs. Kids can't make that kind of distinction, especially when the DARE program doesn't make that distinction.

 

I feel like every kid should be shown this song once they reach DARE:

stupid parents need to keep their shit somewhere the kid cant at get it

they probably keep their prescriptions secure

the kid is 11...ALL blame is on the parents for their stupidity

 

Sorry, Idk how to quote multiple ppl, but:

It's important that kids know that school sometimes teaches them things that aren't always true. People tell them things as a way to protect them because kids don't always have the ability to reason.

Yes, this is so true. I would like to try and be the voice of reason with my son, so that hopefully he will be able to come to me with any questions. The same goes for religeon. I want him to know that just because someone tells you something, doesn't make it true. You have to find your own path and take bits and pieces of what you are told and mold it into your values and opinions.

If anyone should be getting the blame, it should be the parents for not talking to him about their habits before he entered into DARE. You can't smoke an illegal substance in front of your kids and expect them to seperate what you're smoking from harder drugs. Kids can't make that kind of distinction, especially when the DARE program doesn't make that distinction.

Also true! I grew up thinking that weed was some horrible drug that would leave you homeless with mangly teeth and sores all over your body. Fortunately, a friend opened my eyes! :2thumbsup:

 

You don't know that. That being said, you are almost certainly right that all the blame is on the parents, but you don't know for certain. Some kids have to learn things the hard way.

 

What has happened to our society when kids are encourgaed to turn their parents in rather than respect them? You cant disipline your kids anymore either. Im glad in a way that I never got to be a parent when I look at things nowdays. Its like a big witch hunt isnt it..kids watching parents, neighbors watching each other. Yes, it is time that DARE lost its funding and also that parents took back control of their kids as well. Theres two sides to everything of course and well some adults just arent grown up and responsible. That allowed DARE to get their foot in as well as all these counsolers they have now....and they are all full of shit. Growing up in the 60's and 70's we had respect for our parents our teachers and each other, well a lot more than they do to now anyways..
