Now that we can get kids to turn in their parents for pot possession:
Two parents are facing drug charges after their child took their drugs to school and told a school officer his parents were breaking the law.
WBTV is not releasing the names of the parents or the name of the school to protect the child’s identity.
The 11-year-old student is in 5th grade at a an elementary school in Matthews. Police say he brought his parents’ marijuana cigarettes to school when he reported them.
Matthews Police say he reported his parents after a lesson about marijuana was delivered by a police officer who is part of the D.A.R.E. program, which teaches kids about the dangers of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.
Well, thank goodness that this kid’s parents have been saved! I’m sure they’ll just get a stern talking-to from Officer Friendly, they’ll see the error of their ways, and everyone will go out for ice cream sundaes afterwards!
Poor kid. A brief moment of “doing the right thing” may well have ruined three lives. Nice work, Officer Friendly!
Police say both the 11-year old and a sibling have been removed from the parents’ house by social services. Police say they are staying with relatives.
If there were no relatives handy, the two children would probably become wards of the state. And that is something to wish on nobody.
