I was shocked to read about this house also and wondering why there isn't serious legal consequences.
I'm not shocked that high school and middle school know about "the meth house". I'm sure those kids know more than us sometimes. Unfortunately it's not just in Folsom. I learned today of a serious problem in Auburn. Seems that in the general area of a Rite Aid store all the local kids know to go there to drink alcohol then go to the school basketball games drunk. In the official police report one freshman student went into the store, got a large bottle of orange juice, drank 1/2 of it then got a bottle of vodka off the shelf and poured it into the orange juice. He then set the blended alcohol drink on a shelf. When he went outside there were 2 middle school kids waiting, he told them where it was, they went in, took it into the bathroom and drank it. At the basketball game the 2 young boys were caught by police and told the whole story. The store had everything on video camera outside of the store so the conversation of where the young boys were to go find the alcohol was taped. The cops said this exact situation is happening every weekend. I'm wondering why the store would allow kids to wander through or hang out in a bathroom.
I don't think our young high school kids or middle school kids would actually go to that mansion. It's probably the pick up point for the drug dealers to pick up their product then they manage to sell it to the kids.
If you kid admits to knowing of that house it doesn't mean they are "using", I'm sure alot of really good kids just hear the gossip and let it go in one ear and out the other.
No one should feel sorry for this guy. Being afraid of his guests is a good point, but that house could be a bomb waiting for a explosion if they are cooking meth in that house as well as selling it. Cops need to get rid of that house and put that guy on the next RT Train going out of this city!
You know this doesnt surprise me...It is no different from when I was a kid. Kids would get alcohol somehow someway and go out to the middle of a field and have a bon fire and drink. It happens every where and always has. I do keep a tight leash on my Son. I know it might backfire on me someday, but I am willing to take the chance. I dont let him wander the streets with his friends at night time (which I see all over the place). I want to know where he is at all times. He doesnt really ask to do too much, but he is still only a freshman. Ahhhhhhhh!
I just think that now day’s parents dont pay much attention to their children and ask questions and/or just talk. I must know where he is at all times and he must check in with me every 2 hours. If he is staying the night at a friend’s I must talk to the parent to make sure. If he goes to the movies then I must know who is taking them and picking them up and I confirm it with the person (has to be a parent.) He is use to this so he just follows the rules and I dont usually have an issue. I figure that I am trying my best to keep tabs on him and know what he is doing and this is all I can do. I cant follow him around all day to make sure he is behaving (although I would like to.) Haha
