How Do I Get My Son Off Drugs?

….take them in. Their father is a pot head and alcoholic and so is their step mother. They have lived a very volotile life, but because of the guidance of their grandmother, they are very good girls. However their grandmother’s husband wont let them stay with them.

Every child in my family, immediate and extended, have had great home lives and lots of opportunities except fo these young girls. They are 9th & 10th graders and a lot of responsibility I know, but I am willing to have them come live with me. I have an extra room in my house, except I don’t have a lot of extra money because I am a student and single parent. I can apply for AFDC for their expenses and that would be more than enough for their clothes, food, etc, and even some for a savings account for each.

My mother says I’m crazy for considering, but I really hate to see these young girls fall into the system. But I’m also worried about how it might affect my 5 year old son. I don’t know what to do…???

the drugs that were in my son’s van were fake drugs so what will happen to him in court,they had the drug dog there and the dog sniffed nothing out because of course they wern’t real the officer started to stop the search but the one officer said wait here ill be back so he went to the boy that put the stuff there and then came back and found some stuff they are calling ice or meth,what i would like to know is what will they do to my son when the stuff comes back from the testing lab and they find out it is fake
my son works hard to get his money and this one guy wants a hand out and he is also known to be in trouble his-self for burgary and you know the law their saying is you help us and we will in return give you a lighter sentence he was at his job when this boy came twice that day to ask for money and my son told him to get a job, so he got pissed off and called the drug force and told them he can help them set some-one up my son does not do drugs ,he has to take a drug test once a week for his jobso for you all out there that thinks he is this drug addict he aint he has a job that requires a staraght head HE IS NOT ON DRUGS HE WAS SET UP AND YES FAKE DRUGS CAN BE BAKING SODA OR SUGAR OR SALT OR ANY-THING THAT LOOKS LIKE DRUGS….

my stepson’s mom is ok letting her 15, almost 16 yr old son work at Keller’s Hamburger’s off Northwest Highway. He wrkd there last yr, while we hated it and think it is completely wrong. She and her mom wrk there and are there with him, but he still gets to handle empty beer bottles and even be around all the drunks that hang out there. I think it is illegal.

My sons dad is an alcoholic and doesn’t have a place to live. I don’t allow him in my place because of his drinking. He has court ordered visitation. Could I get in trouble for breaking that? Because if something happens to my son because of him I could get in trouble.

My son is a meth addict. He cooks, uses, and sells.
We have no money. Where in Indiana is the best place for him to go to be treated for his methamphetamine addiction? Other locations are ok, I just would not know how to get him to a place far away.

letting traffic violations, seat belt, speeding, out of date sticker, etc…all pile up and now he is in a “CORRECTIONAL FACILITY” for 6 months. Okay, first..he is a high school drop-out, he was spoiled rotten as a teen, his first “Job” was working with a guy cutting trees. At the end of the first week he got paid…week 2 he gets a bottle of 120 hydro’s (hydrocodone, I guess) and the guy tells him, “Man you can sell these and make way more than what I was supposed to pay you” (yeah, right!! he was 17 his dad and I had no knowledge until WAY after the fact. So, blah, blah, he gets hooked on pills, stole stuff, pawned stuff whatever it took to get his “fix”. He finally ended up on methadone. This is the stuff they give people to get off some street drug, ie..heroine? So, me and his dad finally figure out all this and end up taking him to a methadone clinic every day for 6 months. They are supposed to dose him down and get him off of it. They gave him more and he ends up worse than when he started!(Yes, daddy and I paid every day to try to help our son get off drugs) We find out that this so-called clinic makes MILLIONS of dollars a year keeping people hooked on methadone. I call whoever I can think of to tell them…news, police, lawyers,,etc.. NOTHING is done. The clinic is still open. Anyway, we refuse to take him anymore, he goes ballistic! screaming,cussing me-his own mother! We kick him out. He is like a little bloodsucker moving from friend to friend until he comes here begs on his knees to let him stay here until he gets off it and will I please help him through withdrawal? Yes, he did it it was awful, gross, disgusting, but we did it. Now he tries to find a job, finds some keeps them a while, starting getting tickets, speeding, then he got his license revoked. Lets the tickets pile up again and ends up in jail again, he knows he can’t live here anymore, he is now 23,no drivers license, homeless, no car, no diploma. Can you imagine what is going through his mind? I know you cops see all kinds of stuff. But what is the answer? He already knows he MESSED up bad! He admits it, We all know this, we know where mistakes were made. Is his life over at 23? He is off drugs because he says he can’t get pills in jail. But, when he gets out what is he supposed to do? Police officers, law enforcement agencies, judges, lawyers…anybody…especially police I know you see pitiful stuff all the time, He knows where he made his mistakes and wishes to God that he could start over….can he? please give me suggestions, comfort, prayers anything but smart-eleck remarks. I really don’t need that I need help, he needs help he knows that. Please please put yourself in his shoes and give me suggestions, nice ones, (even if YOU would never do anything like that) Officers I know things like this go through your mind, suggestions, encouragement….anything?
why thank-you officer ICET that is exactly what I needed to know..
ISAID WE KNOW WE MESSED UP, LETTING HIM DROP OUT, WE KNOW
could a REAL police officer with a heart answer my question, I don’t need preaching. He is going to come out of jail with no where to go, no food to eat,no way to get to the GED school. He IS paying for his actions by being in jail. , how does a homeless person become a responsible citizen? He is sorry, he is ready to start fresh he has realized the error of his ways. I am talking the DAY he gets out…how does he start?
