Question

What to do if your child is on drugs

Answer 1

drugs? all america is on drugs...can't you specify a bit here?

Answer 2

Thanks for giving detail on everything. You have to take the child to a doctor to check for any possible damage done to him. After that, you have to call babysitters and make sure he is watched 24/7. He/She is not to sneak out the house, or you may have not only a druggie but a run a child. Why is your child taking drugs in the first place? Answer that question and answer to your problems will be obvious.

Answer 3

I think you should first,  in the morning before he or she can get high.Tell him or her what drugs do to you and that eventchuly anyone that uses drugs ends up losing everything they own. including their own lives.Because if u use drugs long enough they will kill you . then you should get help from a professional like a rehab.(not a out patcient, a live in program) it must be at least 1 years for any chance of it to work. stay close to your kids and be blunt tell them the truth about what you know about dope.tell them its a losing game and that LIFE IS TO SHORT to be wasted on drugs. how they won't have anything nice in life  like house ,nice car and money saved cause they will be given all to the dope dealer, so the dope man can have all the nice stuff while they are sitting somewere with nothing except an EMPTY BAG wishing they had more .GOOD LUCK p.s  be nosie and don't give up on them.

Answer 4

On Drug's due to ill and medication ?, that's fine.

Answer 6

Tell the police, cause they know how to deal with it.

Answer 7

When my youngest daughter was in high school she had drug issues. Pot did not bother me but coke did. I even found her at a drug house and litterally picked her up and threw her butt in the car and took her to rehab. After that I would even sit in the back of her classes at school. Drastic, yes. did it work? in the long run yes. For many years she and I would butt heads and argue but as soon as she had her own children she told me how glad she was that I did what I did because without me glued to her butt she would be an addict right now and unable to care for her two beautiful boys. She got her ged, works two jobs, is taking college courses (and has a "B" average). She is healthy and happy.

Answer 14

well first be sure he/she is on drugs. has the child had an informational class about drugs? if they are on drugs and have not had a class about that then sit them down and calmly tell them about the risks and effects of the rug they are using. make sure you make it clear and try not to yell most times that just makes everyone a lot more angry.  if the drug problem is really serious then you mite need to find a rehabilitation center. i wish you the best of luck.

Make sure the child knows the dangers of that drug,

talk to them about it, get them through it together.

If you're lucky, it might NOT be a heavy addiction

and you could stop them before things get out of hand.

Take special classes if that's necessary.

Just be calm about it.

Dont attack them! ask them what they want to say! then listen and go from there.
