That bag found on the street is evidence that drug dealers and those who use them (drugs) are careless not only with their own lives but also with the lives of the public, specifically children. That bag could have been picked up by a child. You fill in the blanks. We focus on the teen drug and alcohol problems, but it's primarily adults who provide the "stuff." Adults are also role models to children. Adults who think that it's OK to "recreationally" use marijuana, snort crack, take pills to get high or even beer blast on weekends are sending the wrong message to the children in their lives. At the least all these things are immoral if not most being illegal. If you want to send a positive message to the children, start in the home. Adults need to be responsible. I realize that some kids will rebel no matter what, but that can't be an excuse for not setting the right example. Hats off to Mr. Fisona and Mr. McKeown for their forwardness, to the rest, wake up.
