How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

My son failed a breathalyzer test at the prom. Every student is tested at the door before prom. The device they used is called, Alco-Blow, a hand held device that looks like a large yellow flashlight @ $300 each.

After he was denied access to prom that night, we took him to get a blood test at the local hospital (at his urging to prove his innocence). The blood test results came back normal, a 0.00 BAC (normal, no alcohol). He was not allowed into prom that night and also got a suspension from school and all social activities/sports etc as they thought he had been drinking.

This suspension goes on his school record as drinking alcohol at prom, a clear violation of policy, rules and the law. The principal at school will not lift the suspension from his record even with this 0.00 blood test result. My son can’t get prom night back, but what can we do now to clear my son’s record of this suspension, as well as clear his name?

Thank you for your thoughts ideas and advice.
Thank you all for your responses. I’ll be happy to address any questions. Please ask me anything as I want to be as clear as possible so as to allow you to see the full story and share your responses with me. Thanks so much. Here we go…

1. Blood test was done 2 hours after breathalyzer test. (this is the point of contention by the principal)

2. Breathalyzer (Alco-Blow) tester only shows a color (green-orange-red). It’s basically a pass/fail test, no number result. My son registered an orange four times. Other kids were receiving an orange result 2/3 times then finally getting a green light (green=nothing detected).

3. The Alco-Blow company told me me that the test needs a 2-5 minute reset after a false reading so as to be clear and ready for the next person to blow into the machine.

4. There was only 3 minutes between the time my son started being tested to the time the principal called me with the bab news.

5. Two kids in line, before my son, failed the test.
MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) told me they do not advocate any hand held devices to test for alcohol. Only the police department breathalyzers ($5000) are endorsed. That was very interesting to me.

She’s had MANY sex partners, including several of his friends. He claims they didn’t have sex, just got each other off…whatever that entails…so could he have some STD that he could pass to our son via sharing the same drink or what not?
Our son is 5 & autistic so telling him to not drink after is dad is something I try to teach him, but doesn’t necessarily get through to him.

BTW, this has NOTHING to do with me still having any sort of feelings for my ex. I left him.
Her method of choice is injection.

My brother has divorced his ex wife who is a cocaine adict. His ex wife got custody of their son and every month my brother pays his ex wife towards allimony and child suport. My brother is not very rich and works hard for money while his ex wife does nothing for a living beside dating other men and sleeping with them. Now my brother says he will never marry again.
Do you think divorce laws are in favor of women?
Do you think if pre nups were compulsory, divorce rates would be lower?
Do you think if couples stay together, then children have a better upbringing?
Please post your thoughts.

He is trying to get clean and I will make sure he does but don’t think jail is the place, does anyone have suggestions?
