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 ahold 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.

all joking aside...do you seriously feel this child is wrong in what he did?

 

[ObakeTora]

I cleaned that persons behind for all those years and he or she goes behind my back to turn me in without talking to me first? I don't know if it's a trust thing or what but the road to Hell is lined with good intentions. And if that child were mine the road to his behind would be lined with my belt.

 

[SuperFerret]

Good kid.

 

[Blitzkrieg Bop]

Snitches get...time out?

 

[ShivNasty]

if you're gonna piss off your kids you should probably hide your pot better

 

[Hobgoblin]

Kid sounds like a hero to me. Hopefully he ends up with some better parents.

 

[Alex The Great]

Good job kiddo

 

[ShivNasty]

just because someone smokes weed doesnt make them a bad parent.

It's obviously wrong, but the kid's intentions were good. It's not his fault the laws on the subject are immoral.

Kid sounds like a hero to me. Hopefully he ends up with some better parents.

If the kid has the ability to act on what he has been taught to be "bad" then chances are those were good parents he had to start out with.

I hope you don't smoke weed and have kids. If you do, don't let your kids know about your pot stash. I hope you have the good sense to know that:
1. Schools teach kids that marijuana is illegal and bad.
2. Schools encourage kids to run to their teachers and the police if their parents are doing something wrong.

Let's not act surprised, here.

Not really. I still say good on him.

 

[enterthemadness]

Not a weed smoker, but that kid was stupid. Not like it's coke or herion.

Congratulations!!!


Now you get to stay in an orphanage. Or if you're lucky some Foster Parents who make money for every kid they keep.


It's the hard knock life... for you!

Shouldn't kids be bringing their parents alcohol to school?

It's far more dangerous and destructive than a spliff. But I guess we should keep letting the police lie to kids and brainwashing them to think a plant that gives people the giggles and the munchies should be treated worse than alcohol.

Well....one's legal, the other isn't. But if you go to the story about the drunken father who left his kid in the car for 25 hours you might really want all the liquor turned in.

Marijuana is legal in Canada

I think

Good job kiddo

You guys drank the kool aid. Weed shouldn't be lumped in with dangerous drugs. The DARE program should be renamed LIE.

What do you think of a cop sipping a cold beer watching a game with his son? Because it happens all the time and beer has for more destructive potential than a cannibus which actually has medicinal value.

 

[SuperFerret]

OH NOES! MARYJEWANA IS ILLEGALS!

Deal with it. It's illegal. These people were breaking the law. People who drink are not. Those're the facts of the matter.

Now, there are other situations on discussing ways to get alcohol banned so it and weed share the same legal status.

Ever heard of gateway drugs? A "softcore" drug that leads to harder drugs. And whether or not people think weed is serious or not, its still illegal. And you cant compare pot to beer. Alcohol isnt illegal.

Marijuana is legal in Canada

I think

I think so, yes.

When a crime is victimless and a law is arbitrary kids should be taught the truth. Sodomy, alcohol, and interracial marraige were once illegal. I'd applaud anyone who broke those laws back then. If a law is stupid it deserves to be broken.

I think a compromise would be to have many states where weed, porn and alcohol consumption are allowed and others were everything is kids safe.

that way people like you can live in a Mormon/Taliban paradise while the rest of us adults are allowed to enjoy adulthood.

Fact: Oxygen is a gateway drug.
Fact: Everyone who has died from hardcore drug abuse started out using oxygen.

LOL "Mormon paradise", wait 'til I tell my wives that one.

He's young so I can understand why he did it. I can still remember going through those nonsense D.A.R.E programs at that age.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

There's 2 lines of thinking on this.

1. The parents were skeezebags, and the kid turning in the pot was a way to get these people taken care of and he will be in a better situation.

2. These were good parents who don't deserve to have their children taken away, they just happened to smoke pot.

I don't think pot in and of itself is a good reason to get your children taken away. I know plenty of parents who smoke pot, but are good parents to their children.
