GROW-OP OFFERS POSSIBILITY OF RISKS TO KIDS

Finally, some common sense (Shut Down Grow-op To Keep Children, The
Daily News, Jan. 3). It seems this family was making marijuana more of
a priority than their children.

The minister for Ministry of Children and Family development,
Stephanie Cadieux, recently stated the ministry does not get involved
with families because of grow-ops, legal or illegal. The ministry gets
involved with families because of children's safety.

The response from this family seems to reinforce that they highly
value marijuana at the expense of their children. The truth lies
between the family and the social worker, everyone else is
speculating.

Who holds the growing license? Also, as a citizen myself, I hope a
neighbour's grow-op has proper electrical standards met so my house
doesn't burn down too. Did this family have a permit from the city to
install the wiring? Was it passed on inspection. Is this why the note
in the news report listed electrical concerns?

If there is faulty wiring in the home, pesticides or other chemicals
or mould in the home, then regardless of legalities, this would not be
a safe home for kids.
