"Lie

kids,"
They
Say
3/20/98
Parents in Murieta, California might be a bit surprised to find that
the parenting classes being offered by their school district feature police
officers as instructors. They may be even more surprised, however, to hear
that according to the police, the best way for a parent to address the
issue of his or her youthful drug use is to lie to their kids.
"If your child asks if you used drugs when you were in high school,
say no." So says Sgt. Scott Attebery of the Murrieta Valley police
force. Attebery is also a father of three and a member of the Murrieta
Valley Unified School District board of trustees. "Do not admit that
you smoked marijuana as a kid" he adds. "If you do, you will
get that thrown back at you at 90 miles per hour."
