We have good parents in Bick

Tonight at the council meeting I voiced my concerns about the drug problem we are having in town. Granted anyone who knows me knows I hate to speak in public, but this is an important issue and we need to address it. and ask the council to help. I so appreciate the councils time and consideration in this matter. Now councilmen Toth says it begins with parent involvement. He is right it starts there. Mr. Toth  made this statement after I spoke and" didn't need me up there again". Well he must not have heard that I said this addiction has no bounds. When you say something like that and  don't receive a persons rebuttal ?Mr. Toths children are young. They haven't been on a ledge and choose yet. I however have 2 boys from my husbands first marriage ages 32,28. Both fine adults hard workers and self supporting. Then my 2 nephews both lost. My son is 11 and doing fine. I also have grandchildren older then Mr. Toths children. Studies show we are born with 80 percent of our personality. Mr. Toth that means a lot of these kids are dealing with a genetic factor. I was a very large  part of both my nephews upbringing and everyday life. Then there are parents who foster, adopt as I did with my youngest. Mr. Toth you made a statement when your children are so young and you haven't had to deal with the hard issues yet.Thier getting their dope at sporting events here in town, from the neighbors and some are getting them from their friends parents. These are facts. Someday every teen will be in a bad spot. It is unavoidable in these times. We hope they make the right decision. That's what we want  help to enforce the laws already in place, and the dealers kept off the street whenever possible. We need the laws we have enforced. We are good parents, sisters, brothers and grandparents. The kid on the fence that's who we want to make the right decisions. And we want them informed and confident enough to do so. Confident also largely inherited trait. Being a teen the best time in your life and a hard time. Maybe they think their to fat, want different hair, arguing with a friend or parents over grades, chores. All these things are their lives. No body wakes up and says today Im going to become an addict. Its that once. Then only on weekends. Then they need a little to get going in the morning. Then you have an addict. Start at the parenting be the best you can be. But information and hard consequences at any experimenting is what is needed. And as for the parents getting high with their kids. That's not just scumb it's endangerment of a child and abuse at the very least. Lock them up. Give them community service because there will be no room in the cells. Heavy fines. Parenting classes and call DYFS. Just some ideas laws already in play. They just need to be enforced.
