I am a former undercover drug detective who worked undercover in a high school as a student during the first part of my police career. I don’t think that arresting kids is the answer anymore. Education for parents and their kids, and of course drug rehab, are far better answers than a police force declaring war on kids. Of course once gang members (even teenage ones) get involved, the danger goes way up. In circumstances like theses, parents may need help from the police. Anyway, my whole website deals with this issue, and its free. Congratulations on a very worthwhile blog.
