MATTHEWS, NC (WBTV) – 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. “Even if it’s happening in their own home with their own parents, they understand that’s a dangerous situation because of what we’re teaching them,” said Matthews Officer Stason Tyrrell. That’s what they’re told to do, to make us aware.”
Tyrrell says the town’s D.A.R.E. officer spends time at each of the three elementary schools in Matthews teaching kids to make the right choice when it comes to drugs. Police arrested the child’s 40-year-old father and 38-year-old mother on Thursday. Both were charged with two misdemeanor counts each of marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. They were not jailed and were released on a written promise to appear in court.
“I don’t give drugs to my kids,” the father told us when we went to his house. When we asked him how his kid got a hold of his drugs, he replied, “That’s no one’s business.”
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.
For now. This is the kind of crap people should be seriously pissed off about. You evil alcohol and tobacco users are next, and you know who you are. I hope they stick him in a foster home so he isn’t endangered by his parents dangerous activity, maybe he’ll be happier there….give me an effen break.
we need to vilify the weed to protect the hemp.
HEMP is competition for most large industrial processes, it will not be legal as can not be patented, until monsanto bribes someone, then our drugs will actually be bad for us.
BTW, some studies have concluded
a) THC can in some cases prevent cancer / tumor growth and b)THC can prevent brainwashing
look it up.
uMMM,
is the kids name DICK??
ANd when will they stop this push to have doctors ask about guns in the home?
I suppose the Demolition Man prophecies are true…”anything not good for you is bad, and therefore illegal.”
I hope he finds things nicer in that foster care house CPS threw him in. Public schools are instruments of the state for indoctrination. They must be succeeding at that because they damn well aren’t at actual education.
So, after all this, does the kid now trust the government or not?
This child just learned an important lesson about authority. Don’t trust it.
One of the goals of the socialist regime:
Indoctrinate children as spies against it’s citizens.
#17 Yes, that an prohibition:

The constitution doesn’t allow the Federal Government make such laws, only the states.
This is tyranny, not America. The only consolation, in leftist revolutions, where progressives win, the first to be executed are those clamored for it to happen.
Alfy, our police state started long before your current political boogieman, Obama, was elected. It was that chimp cum President, George Bush, and his Vice President/Sith Lord Cheney that started a lot of it.
scadragon, Alfred
How exactly do you come to the conclusion that DARE, a program created in 1983 under Ronald Reagan, is part of a socialist revolution?
#31-32 Neither of you know progressive history…many Republicans, ruling elites, are progressives, not conservative constitutionalists.
Liberty minded folks are trying to take over the Republican party, restore it to what it once was when it liberated Blacks, the party of liberty……hence the progressive media’s tsunami rant against the Tea Party…
They know we are their worst enemy, we who love freedom above even life itself.
“Give me liberty or give me death” is not an empty slogan to us.
Alfy, you sound like a lunatic political pamphlet.
#34 No I don’t, I sound an American.
You World/European drones infest Podesta directly media attacks against us as “extreme”…that’s your favorite slander against Americans.
But we aren’t believing the propaganda press anymore, so its ineffective…we are growing exponentially.
Those who want to know about progressivism, here is a good start:

You World/European drones infest Podesta inspired attacks against us as “extreme”…that’s your favorite slander against Americans.
But we aren’t believing your propaganda press anymore, it doesn’t scare us.
Hence it has proven to be so ineffective…we are growing exponentially.

# 28 scadragon,
I never heard eliminating marijuana use was on the socialist agenda. I always hear from the right-wing wackbots that socialists are hedonistic weakling pussies who smoke too much pot and are too lazy to work.
This neo-fascist sh*t is straight out of the right-wing handbook. Financial freedom, yes, but social conformity under duress. The GOP way.
#33–Alfie, Whats it all about?: ““Give me liberty or give me death” is not an empty slogan to us.” ////
1. I’d love to meet you half way.
2. AMG—there’s more than one of you?
3. When you say this to yourself, how many people are in the room?
4. Link to the two tennis players.
I couldn’t resist.
It must get confusing in alfred land, constantly having to redefine reality to fit the buzzword of the week.
When Alfred’s in charge it will be liberal parents that will be informed on by their children. Makes it easier to “round them up.”
Nothing says freedom like silencing those who disagree with you politically.
