[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in a wealthy, lovely suburb of New York where the cops were, and still are, our friends.  Over a dozen of the kids who were in high school have already died of overdoses.  All from wonderful, wealthy and educated families.[/quote]

Yes.

I am a physician. When I was in training, the high end real estate was waterfront property relatively near the hospital, so on-call docs could get to the ICUs and surgical suites quickly and not have to sleep in. It was a gated community.

Their kids were the ones coming through the ED with substance overdoses.

[quote=Anonymous]It makes me sick to think that a parent could be so ignorant she would treat her child as a disposable to be discarded on the street.  Every child deserves a parent in his corner.

Absolutely. And if your child parrots this philosophy to friends, whether out of pride or fear or frustration, it only takes one enemy at a party to take that child away from you. Kids will do nasty shit to each other. You're really going to have a one-strike, reasons-be-damned policy? And you consider yourself a good parent?[/quote]
