D.A.R.E.: Ripping Families Apart Since 1983
    #13349480 - 10/17/10 06:50 PM (13 years, 7 months ago)

D.A.R.E.: Ripping Families Apart Since 1983
October 17, 2010 - Reason.com
Radley Balko

When it comes to its stated mission—keeping school-age children from trying illicit drugs—the D.A.R.E. program has been a failure. But D.A.R.E. does have a fun history of teaching kids to turn their pot-smoking parents in to the police.

It happened again last week:

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."

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.

Police say both the 11-year old and a sibling have been removed from the parents' house by social services.

Proving once again that pot ruins lives. Not because of the drug itself, but because of what the government will do to you if they catch you with it.

Wow. What are the odds that you post an article on here about the elementary school I went to. :lol:

I remember the good old DARE program there. The officer that did the classes specifically told us not to bring up parents, relatives or neighbors drug use though, or they would have to act on it. I guess this kid ignored that little speech :shrug:

I'm actually surprised they aren't teaching the kids how to spy on parents, relatives or neighbors.

Defiantly.

This is worse than religion. Parents object to creationism being taught in school but yet allows this anti-drug propaganda to run rampant. I hope many parents see this report and object to their school running D.A.R.E on their kids. It's the parents responsibility to educate kids about something as subjective as drug use. Not the schools.

Kill your parents kid, their corrupted, go ahead and murder them.:death:
Watch his parents go to jail and the kid has to go to a foster home or some crap or never gets to see his parents again. Way To Go kid! Why not try TALKING to your parents instead of Narcing them out. They don't teach kids what the laws does to people with drugs. I bet that kid is going to grow up and smoke weed and probably grow it too, then he will look back and say "man, I was soo stupid. that damn propaganda f**ked up my parents lives and I thought I was doing the right thing and the cops didn't tell me any different, why would they, they get paid for this stuff".

He's 11 years old, his parents are idiots for not explaining it to him and the cop is a piece of shit for arresting them.

It pisses me off how the reporter says that he talked to the father off camera, and it went something like this:

Father:  Well, it's not like I was giving my kid drugs.
Reporter: But he did obviously have access to them.
Father: That's nobody's business.

When it should have gone much more like this-

Father:  Well, it's not like I was giving my kid drugs.
Reporter: But he did obviously have access to them.
Father: And how many parents across the nation have beer in their refrigerators, liquor in their kitchen cabinets, guns in their closets, and packs of cigarettes laying around the house?

i remember d a r e!!,

it made me wonder and VERY curious about these "drugs" AND made me so curious about what they were blabbing about, that i wanted badly to try it out for myself... and so i did, not even 2 years later,

dare is retarded, if i never had dare in my face, id prolly be in college or something, (NOT THAT I WANT TO OR EVER DID) but dare is a total failure,

I remember being moody and threatening my mom id tell the dare cop on her.  I never did I was just an asshole 13 y/o.

When the dare officer gave us the talk on LSD.  I knew I had to try it.

I remember they even had a section on designer drugs.  I never thought id see them.  Now they are everywhere.    Bath SAlts LMAO,  K2 incense not for human consumption.  Sure go ahead risk your life on designer drugs but dont smoke some joints or your kids will go to a foster home where they are likely to be abused and molested.

These poor kids. They think they're helping their parents obey the law, but end up losing them for some shitty foster parents.

My son was pissed at his mom about something , I don't remember what. I was at her place sitting at the computer , prolly here at the Shroomery. The cops walked in ( the door was open) , asked me if I lived there . I promptly said "no" , he said " You'd better leave then." I got up & left.

  They told her that our son had called the police through the DARE program & reported that there was marijuana in the house. She upped it , about an ounce. They actually let her flush it down the toilet. Everything was extremely awkward family wise for quite some time afterwards.

Cops coming into school & getting children to rat out their parents is an invasion of privacy , and they are wrecking homes over something so simple as pot.  It makes me really hate the police.
