OK, here goes my 2 cents. Drugs are available to anyone looking for them, and that includes Seaside. There are enough lookers so pushers don't have to push.

I'd rather raise my children in Sowal, including letting them hang out in Seaside, than anywhere else I have been or lived. How you prepare your kids for life, as it is now, is the key to avoiding trouble with drugs, sex, etc. Kids that are not comfortable discussing these subjects wih their parents are the ones that are most vulnerable, IMO.

And let's not forget that we have great kids in Sowal and we as parents need to help each other and keep an eye out for each others children. Be realistic and be positive.

Seriously - a little perspective is needed!

There are millions of Americans who would love it if those were the worst things they had to worry about - instead of gangs, drive-bys, starvation, eviction.................

Thats how it has always happened around here. I have seen some kids in my childrens age group getting into trouble before and told them "you know your parents will know about this before you can get home and lie about it to them. I suggest you stop and go home." They just hung their head and headed home knowing that I was on my way to call those parents.:lol:

Back when Sheriff McMillan was in office, he designated officers to pratrol certain neighborhoods and it was always the same officer. My neighborhood patrolman used to stop by the house and ask how things were going, etc, hows your son, etc. Once I had not seen my teen son for a 12 hour period and didnt know where he was. This officer went looking for him, saw him driving on 30A, and pulled him over. My son thought he was getting a ticket when the officer approached the truck and said, "you'd better call your mama or get your butt home now".

Those were the days.

Iris, I believe I know what you are trying to say with the above, but it is a shame that we think that picking up litter is a job for prisoners. It is a job for all of us and if you really want to teach a kid something, set the example by picking up litter yourself.

Thanks Smiling Joe, and I do believe you know what I was saying without saying it. I would have gotten blasted!
 
Yes, Iris, I do. As a kid, I went through County jail once with the Cub Scouts. We each knew immediately, that jail is no place we wanted to go.
 
Well, while we debate what's going on in one of our resort towns, another resort town quietly passed this by 2/3's of the vote.........
