cheese, these damn kids need a butt whipping.

This isn't a children's issue. This is a parenting problem. The parenting efforts in this country seem to get a little less each year. Parenting is hard work. Parents need to say no to TV, internet, and societal pressures. Go get a book, play a board game and show you're kids you care. Then the drug problem and other problems will diminish over time. Kids don't need to watch TV and hang out with older kids. They have their whole life to be an adult.

they start with brie or a triple cream, then move on to the hard stuff, like pecorino and parmesan.

Typical for a country who cares more about the people outside its borders than the ones struggling in it. Parents dont blame anyone but yourself.

Its Afgan heroin; we won't burn the opium.

This is a problem, however, substance abuse has been shown among children as young as nine for generations.

Again with the drugs coming from Mexico. And Sutton let the smuggler go and prosecuted the border patrol agents Campeon and Ramos......Incredible.

While it's definitely a parenting issue, it's also just one more reason to get your kids out of the cesspools that are public schools. Unless you also have this stuff at home, and then, well, you and they are screwed.

As a parent of a 4th grader in the state of Texas, I think this is a serious issue. Fortunately, I am a parent that educates her child about drugs and you better believe I will be showing my daughter this article. Anybody that makes jokes about this situation either has no kids or is just ignorant.

What a surprise!
Dallas now has become as bad as south central LA.
When a large percentage of the population becomes illegals and other lowlifes, what do you expect?
Yes it is a parenting problem, just like low test scores, drugs, and crime in the schools; it stems from people with a lack of any moral values.
As long as we have our southern border open to all takers, the drugs and the scumbags will make life worse here. The Gov won't stop it, sothose of us that are fed up have to rise up and do something about it.

This is just another symptom of our souless, hedonistic and empty society that we are passing on to our children. American culture is obessessed with self! "It's all about me", "If it feels good do it" "It's okay if I'm not hurting anyone." We're reaping exactly what we've been sowing. This country had better start agreeing on what good character is, what is right and wrong, that life is sacred, that there are moral absolutes! If we (parents) lead, they (children) will follow. After all, children are only imitators of what they see in us!

I really hope the school cafateria doesn't ban cheese as a result of this. Just wait it will happen.

And naturally, we refuse to stop the problem down there on the border too. We could build a wall for starteres, but no. We could start sending people back, but no.

We could stop the drug dealers from sending drugs up here, but we just sent two border agents to prision for doing just that!!

Who cares about this problem. Certainly not our imperial government.

It never amazes me anymore what new stuff comes up illegally!
I know nothing of the local area but I'm sure someone will be nice enough to drive this crap to NJ!

so... what happened to the cub scouts, the boy scouts the girl scouts, the boys club, the ymca, after school sports, community centers????????? aren't there some people out there that want to teach these kids something other than how to get high??? - what can be so f....d up at 11 yrs old to want so desperately to get high? granted, they are fed gmo food and programmed with video games and television - this is way beyond just the parents – these are the kids that will no doubt end up within the most well funded social program in the US - the "prison industrial complex" – its like their being fattened for the kill

Curiosity and self preservation is the reason man still lives on this earth. Put the drug dealers out of biz by cutting off their funding. Educate,Educate,Educate.

The blame game doesn't work!!!

im so tired of people complaining about bad parenting when parents /arent/ raising their children anymore. not at all. they let the state raise their children 192+ days a year, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. and when the state isnt raising them, mtv is. i decided a long time ago how i could solve this problem (for myself anyway), quit sex, and have no worries about having children. if everyone did the same thing for 50 years, the problem would work itself out.

Geez, it seems that the drug market has had some of the most innovation in the US economy. Perhaps the government should criminalize automobiles...

As a parent, I am saddened that such young children can be targets for drug dealers. Knowing that this is out there is our (parents) best defense, so we can educate our children about these dangers.
