any advice?

all u can do is tell them u are there for them
and try and find out why she took it
its very scary knowing that kids are being asked inside our outside school my son was offered drugs a few years but luckly enough he refused them and informed the school who phoned me
hope u manage to sort it out

I think this is one of most parents nightmares, Dawny.
I know it’s hard sometimes, but I think the trick is to try talking to them without going into shouting at them, explain, as you already have done, the possible consequences, chances are that she may not suffer any ill side effects, but, better to be informed of what could happen, than be left in blissful ignorance.
The police might possibly speak to them, as well as the school to make them more aware as well.
I’m not 100 % sure, but someone once mentioned to drink plenty of fluids to help flush the system out.
I can still remember the Leah Betts episode, she took an ectasy tablet, whilst out at a local nightclub and slipped into a coma, before dying. Sounds dramatic, but it did happen.
I’m not giving very good advice here, sorry, hope someone who knows a bit more will post and give you better advice hunny.

you have enough experience poshy :wink:

After the initial shock and you all calm down dawny you may want to take her to your local Community Drugs Team and get some good professional information for her. They also work with informing kids of the downfalls of drugs and the side effects that they can cause. I’m sure that she has scared herself anyway and so brow beating her wont solve anything at all,only to serve making her feel more stupid. Sometimes kids do things out of curiosity alone but hopefully she learned something from this.
