[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am so torn about this. As a mom, I would absolutely want to know. But it's hard. Some kids are 18, some are 17. If I had a relationship with the parents or knew this information first hand, I would not hesitate to tell them. But this is my adult daughter confiding in me about kids and families that I don't really know. If the danger were absolute, like suicide, I would also tell. But drug experimentation - although dangerous and illegal - is in a different category, I think, which is why i am hesitating.

I am thinking maybe an anonymous note is the way to go, just to encourage these parents to be more vigilant. Thoughts? If you were on the receiving end of an anonymous note about your kids -  without any proof -  how would you react? [/quote]

I agree and I have setup an anonymous email account that I have used a couple of times to tell people things that I would not want to tell them in person / have it trace back to me. In one case it was a friends wife that I found was having an affair. Send a simple short email:

I am sending you an anonymous email to tell you that your child is using hard drugs.  Have him tested and it will confirm that this is the case.  If you want to ignore this then delete this email and nothing further will be done, your choice. I don't want to drag other people / my family into your family life so please do not attempt to contact me or ask me about this as if asked face to face I will lie and deny I know anything about the drug use or this email.

Regards
