Quotehttp://(Oct. 18) -- An elementary school student in North Carolina took lessons he learned from a drug awareness program to heart last week by turning in his own parents for breaking the law, police say.
The fifth-grader, who attends an elementary school in Matthews, N.C., recently took part in a DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program at his school. The program, which was started in California in 1983, is intended to give children valuable skills for resisting the allure of drugs, gangs and violence.
The Matthews community has its own DARE officer who spreads the organization's message to three of the area's elementary schools, WBTV reported.
Upon attending the DARE presentation, the 11-year-old student, who is not being identified, brought an undisclosed amount of marijuana cigarettes to school. The boy allegedly told a school safety officer that the drugs belonged to his parents.
On Thursday, officers with the Matthews Police Department arrested the child's 40-year-old father and 38-year-old mother and charged them both with misdemeanor counts of marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.
The child's parents were cited but not jailed, pending their next court appearance. Social services, however, has removed the 11-year-old and a sibling from the family home and placed them with relatives, police say.
The Matthews Police Department did not return calls for comment from AOL News today. On Sunday, Matthews police Officer Stason Tyrrell spoke briefly with WBTV.
"Even if it's happening in their own home with their own parents, they understand that's a dangerous situation because of what we're teaching them," Tyrrell said.
WBTV also spoke with the child's father, who told them he does not give drugs to his children. When asked how his child got the drugs, the father reportedly said it was "no one's business."
Nice job, brat. Enjoy your foster care.

Can't you just fucking SMELL the FUTURE?
I love stories about state indoctrination in the morning.
I had DARE.
I knew my parents smoked pot.
I wasn't that fucking stupid.
DARE to keep your children off of propaganda!

But you could have. That's just the way you think. All BAD and WRONG and HORRIBLE and DARK.
You could have a bright future writing childrens' books or ads.
:lulz:
I am certainly glad those kids were removed from that dangerous environment. Next thing you know they could be doing all kinds of terrible stuff like listening to Pink Floyd. Much better to get them into foster care.

Seriously, anyone who hasn't read 1984 or other dystopian classics yet, should.
There are really two different issues here, from my perspective.
One is the DARE program itself. And I do have to tell you that DARE really isn't the darling of the substance abuse prevention community anymore. There are schools who still use DARE, but more and more, schools are turning to organizations like mine to provide programming that is evidence based and researched. There have been studies that show DARE has some considerable issues. And actually, I think DARE finally got the hint and from what I understand they are redeveloping their curriculum.
The other issue is this particular set of parents. My hunch is there is more to this story than has been reported. I'm personally aware of situations where DHHS knows parents are doing marijuana on a regular basis and they don't remove the kids. (Not saying they should so let's not open that can of worms) I suspect there are other things that caused social services to remove the kids and place them with other family. I could be wrong, but it's just a hunch.
I wondered about that second point myself, RWHN. I mean, I don't know how social services there work, but I presume there would be a level of discretion over such things.
Still, pretty fucked up story.
I think it depends on where you are as to how Social Services views parental marajuana use.
When we lived in Florida, I had tons of issues with DCF (Department of Children & Families) after their father's bullshit. His brother tried to take the kids from me and when he couldn't do it through the proper legal channels he, my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law all started calling DCF regularly. After 3 drug tests in one month, I refused to take another one. They went to my kid's school and took my kids to the DCF office and basically held them hostage until I took the damn drug test. I was told I would not get them back until I took the test and it was negative. Well I got them back that day even thought the results weren't in for a few days. Over the course of that year I took on average 3 tests a month.
I have never once doubted if I had tested positive at any time I would have lost the kids until I completed rehab and parenting classes.

You need a course on bomb making.
The really bad part about DARE is that it is run by police, specifically because of a scenario like this. I've run tons of classes where kids tell me about how much pot their parents smoke. With me, they have that confidentiality. I have no power or authority to turn anyone in. Unless, the kids is saying they are being sexually, emotionally, or physically abused, then I am required by law to report it. Otherwise, it's like Vegas. What happens in the drug class, stays in the drug class.

Isn't that a state-by-state thing in the USA? Like how you're more fucked if you are Hispanic and live in TX or AZ as opposed to (say) NY?
If that's how it works in Maine, then that's awesome. But how does it work in North Carolina?
(maybe I'm all wrong about this and it's a national thing, though)

Certainly, it could be very different in North Carolina. Maybe they're a little quicker on the trigger for that sort of thing. But I still suspect there is more to the story.

There have been studies that show that DARE is completely ineffective when it comes to preventing substance abuse. Indeed, there have been studies that have shown that kids exposed to DARE are more prone to experimenting with substances. This is because the program ends up exposing kids to information they were unaware of. A kid doesn't know anything about pots and joints. He goes through DARE, maybe they actually pass a joint around to see what it looks like. Now he's curious.
The other reason schools are turning away from it is that the scant few resources out there for substance abuse prevention mandate that your programming is evidence-based. Backed by research and proven to have measurable and positive outcomes. DARE isn't evidence based. So if a school wants DARE they have to pay for it with their own money and can't pay for it with state or federal grant money.
While we're on the topic of things that don't work, you can add mock car-crashes and beer goggles. They're great to create a spectacle and get your local news media to show up, but they are piss poor (I'm being charitable) when it comes to actually making a difference.
Oh yeah, I remember having had a joint passed around in DARE (back when dirt was still kinda new), and I also remember beer goggles and the drunken driving simulators in the driving class offered at my school. :lulz:
Good times.
We had a week of DARE class when I was in High School. It was during the period right after my lunch period.
One day they brought a breathalyzer to class and had everyone blow into it so we could all see how it worked.
I failed the breathalyzer.

I have to agree with this. They're essentially the same as Liars for Jesus.
TOTALLY had that effect on me
it also had the effect of making me very skeptical about anti-drug data.
They were essentially telling us that marijuana and heroin are the same thing. And when I learned that they are not, it made me curious about what else I was missing out.
I had DARE in elementry school, became a little drug/alcohol nazi for a while, and I turned out just fine...with my pretty pink pipe and good friend who deals. :lulz:
I never had DARE, but they did show a movie where pot made your face slide off and your babies come out sideways. After the movie we all smoked a joint.

better safe than sorry, but I bet that guy was PISSED.
Did anyone remember something called G.R.E.A.T. back in the day?
Also I remember becoming suspicious with D.A.R.E. when I noticed that different instructors would give completely different "side-effects" of marijuana.
Our first "drugs talk" was in a science class video, so it was pretty right on. Our second one was by a teacher who was a former cop, and aside from giving it the old "I saw a kid who took LSD, thought he could fly, jumped out of a window, how tragic" was pretty on the facts.
So I guess I got lucky.
I vaguely remember DARE. I don't remember much of what they said, but I do remember they brought a red Lamborghini our police department confiscated from a drug dealer.

We had the Every Thirty Seconds or whatever the fuck they called it in high school - the mock car crash thing, complete with "dead" school mates, cops, helicopters, a grim reaper wandering around, and a massive interruption of the school ay. It was extremely silly and did absolutely nothing. As I recall, as many people as possible ditched out, leaving about a third of the combine junior/senior class who actually went. I sort of circled the edge with my camera (http://dorkanese.deviantart.com/art/Death-of-a-53123775?q=1&qo=1).

My parents never had drugs in the house and never used anything illegal during my lifetime, as far as I know. But they were VERY quick to make sure that I knew D.A.R.E. was full of baloney when it came to their scare stories.
My parents thought that marijuana would make me engage in illicit sex and be possessed by demons. So DARE was kinda child's play :lulz:

See when you're on drugs, you don't have control of your brain. If you don't have control of your brain, the demons can get control of your brain and then they will possess you!
Might explain why I have so much more fun these days actually....
