[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two teenagers. Never searched their rooms. Both in college now. [/quote]

Not mine either. But I feel for the parents who would need to. I wonder if an off duty police officer or addiction counselor could be hired to do this.[/quote]

You must be a parent of toddlers.

Important Info:  [b]The cops are not your friends[/b].  If they find a crumb of weed your child's entire future can be destroyed.  Ruined.  No driver's license, no student loans, expelled from school, kicked out of whatever.

Further, inviting strangers into your home to do the parenting is going to have very negative results.  The OP wants to establish (or re-inforce) parental authority.  Calling in the narcs is counter-productive to that goal.[/quote]

Although I do have many LE friends (LOL), the sentiment expressed by this PP is correct.  Do NOT bring in the police or law enforcement unless you are prepared for your child to face legal consequences.  They HAVE to do their job  - whether on duty or off duty!  Look at it this way, if the cops find something, your child could be arrested depending on the jurisdiction.  Do you really think that having your kid arrested and wrung through the system for a bag of weed is going to bring them back in line?  At the point, your relationship with them will be over.   If you as a parent ever have cause to search a room, do it yourself and with the child present.

For an attitude problem, I think searching the room IS extreme absent signs that drugs are causing the change in attitude.  OP is basically saying "We are searing your room because we are the parents and we can."  It is a power play and that will not play out well. [/quote]
