Local Parents Demand Common Sense: Why Are We Gambling With Our Kids' Safety Just for a Quick Tax Stake?
Just saw the city council approved that new "pilot program" to install vape detectors in the high school bathrooms... for a cool quarter-million dollars. Let me get this straight: we're spending taxpayer money on gadgets to catch kids vaping, but half the parents in this town are still letting their 15-year-olds have "sleepovers" at houses where no adult is even home? I’m a mom of three, and common sense says you don't need a $250,000 detector to know something stinks here. If these parents won't step up and take a real *stake* in their own kids' lives, no amount of fancy tech is going to fix the mess we're in.
