WE CAN PREVENT TRAGEDY

Re: " 'Cheese' crisis runs deep," and "Lives cut short," April 15 news stories.

I am the very proud father of a 10-year-old girl. While she was 
reading about the kids who had died from "cheese," she noted the 
number of cases where a parent or classmate had known what the kid 
was doing but had done nothing.

She circled the areas about each kid where some intervention might 
have saved a life, and it reminded me how a little help could prevent 
something in the future.

All friends and family need to know where help can be found. Is there 
a single phone number that someone could call, preferably 
anonymously, to report that a kid is suspected of doing drugs?
