So your kid has started blogging and you’re terrified you’re going to be reading about their drinking, drug use, and sexual escapades, right? Well, it turns out that’s probably not going to be the case. At least, that’s what researchers at Ohio State University found in a study of 100 teen bloggers from around the country.
In an effort to calm the nerves of their fourth grade students prior to taking an important test, two teachers at Westchase Elementary in Tampa, Florida reached for the bottle. The pill bottle, that is. Continue reading »
No one is slamming pot here. Not today. Maybe pot’s not my thing, but I’m no narc. I’m no Agent of D.A.R.E. (but I so want to drive that van). So I bring you this story not as a condemnation of marijuana use, but maybe just a reminder that we should all have fun responsibility.

An Arkansas couple was arrested for selling cocaine out of the same house where they operate a day care. Husband Timothy Boston got caught in a sting operation by police. Catching a whiff of the jig being up, Boston fled to Texas where he was arrested. His wife, Denise, was arrested at the couple’s home/child care center the same day.
A baby was found sucking on a ball of crack cocaine at a Minneapolis daycare this week. Now officials are surrounding the daycare with one big question – who dropped the rock?
According to WCCO, the thirteen-month-old was in the daycare’s “infant room” when daycare staff noticed he had something in his mouth. It turned out to be a cellophane wrapped rock of crack, and the baby was sucking away. Continue reading »
