Re: Ethical Question
Karrie, You did the right thing. There's no question about it. The mother was clueless and she needed to know this. The kid is buying pot in Mexico and reckless enough to try to bring it back into the country? It obviously succeeded, but he was lucky. He's using bongs, smoking pot in public bathrooms, making plans to smoke pot and detailing the big party plans on the Internet for friends to see. I hear a kid screaming for help. Pot at 16 doesn't always mean it's a gateway drug - but with his obvious audacity - anything is possible. No question - you did the right thing. She shouldn't have told the boy who let her know about the MySpace, but that was poor judgment that is nothing compared to what the kid is up to.
