One mother's answer to a stoned teenager

Article Abstract:

Using a home test to detect whether a teenager has been taking drugs cannot violate the teenager's right to privacy, as it must be carried out with that person's knowledge, according to Sunny Cloud, who developed a home testing kit after discovering that her teenage son had been taking drugs. Indeed, taking this approach can be positive, as it serves to open up the relationship between the parents and the teenager. Just the threat of the test can shift the balance of power to the parents, ensuring that they can establish a no-drug policy at home.

Gloves-off Gloria

Article Abstract:

Women should be free to make important choices in their lives and to control their own destiny, according to women's civil rights lawyer Gloria Allred. She has attracted controversy by taking up a number of sensitive causes, and has come to public attention particularly for her harsh criticism of OJ Simpson. She is willing to take up the cases of girls and women who feel that they have been denied their rights, and this has made her one of the most well-known female lawyers in the US.
