[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS said the drug problem is bad, like heroin bad.[/quote]

I think your son is exaggerating.  If you are a teen it's exciting to think that this may be going on - like you're living in a movie!  But as a parent who has two kids at Wilson, that's now how it is.  It's not always great, but its not heroin bad.[/quote]

Well he said it happens all the time at Ft. Reno Park. Feel free it check it out yourself. Said it’s in the tree area.[/quote]

If he knows this first hand, it sounds like he might be part of the problem. If he doesn't, it sounds like he's just passing on rumors. [/quote]

Classic "my kid is a saint" parent who is shocked when their own kid pulls a Brett Kavanaugh or worse later on.  Kids do all kinds of crazy stuff.  Especially high SES and low SES communities, and even more when they go to the same schools or live just across the tracks from each other, or in this case, allegedly, across the park.  Who was buying all the powder coke and black tar heroin when we were growing up?  Who was dealing and using?  UMC kids bought drugs with allowances - McLean, Bethesda...  A lot of us working part-time jobs during Just Say No thought we were all grown-up with our cigarettes, malt liquor, and gasp... weed!  [/quote]
