The news prompted condemnation from local politicians&anti-drug campaigners.”clearly it’s a great worry to find that any primary school child is using hard said labour mp..”we need to identified whether this is a particular issue to this familyor,more worryingly,if this is the tip of the iceberg in terms of this sort of drugs use among classmates.there are large number of locations where drugs can quite freely be purchased.

There is no way that girls parents didn't notice a difference in her with eight weeks of herion use and at the young age of 10. Hell, I know when my son has had too much sugar. We can help stop this by paying attention to our kids.

This is something I am deeply concerned about and I wish I knew the answer. I brought up my children never to take drugs but one did. I thought I had indoctrinated him, followed all the rules. You cannot compete with peer pressure - even my well behaved son, the one whose never put a foot wrong, told me he'd tried it.
Until our society changes its attitude to drugs and stops glamorising them, we will always have a problem. This is a worrying trend - you can only look at the reactions to Kate Moss and see how little people reject that kind of lifestyle.
There has to be a reaction from the grassroots up. People know where to get drugs from and while they harbour the sellers, it will be acceptable. If they were rooted out from the ground up, we might get somewhere. There should be a publicity campaign highlighting the deaths of mules and how drugs actually fund terrorists and crime. There are tools people have but they don't use them.

I partly blame the parents for this problem with kids as young as 11 becoming regular users of various types of drugs.
Where did a child of that age get the cash to buy the stuff in the first place? Presumably from her parents.
Also, why was a child of that age allowed to be in the kind of environment where these drugs are freely available?

It is the tip of the iceberg. The police only want "Mr Big" so the small dealers have a great time. Until dealing class "A" drugs is punished by Life jail sentences you will not stop it.

I am sorry but I am sceptical. About ten years ago there was a story published here about under aged prostitutes and heroin addicts. The author of the story won a fairly good award for the story as a journalist. It was later exposed as a complete and utter fabrication. I would need to see something more substantial to comment on a story as unlikely as this one.

OMG...how could the parents not tell? They had to see some personality and physical difference...
Not only that where in the heck did she get the money for that a 10 year old? Mom and dad notice money missing? Is she doing more on the streets to get the money (god forbid!)

the only way to control drugs is to legalize them. the police are fighting a losing battle. stop wasting public money and put the people who can't control themselves in the hands of the doctors, which is what usually happens anyway.

Raise your kids to not be junkies? If you are seriously concerned that your kids may buy heroin at school, you're probably just worried about your parenting skills.

simple, get your son and daughter at home with XBOX DVD, PSP, PC, NINTENDO and other things that they can played all along when they are at home...they will be addicted to it and be at home after class, because they will be missing it all the time...
after the parents felt that their son/daughter has been addicted to it, they must set a schedule for those staffs...
Im not a drug addict, but a gamemaster at home...yeeeaaaahhhh baby yeaaahhhhh fire them all...

I'm not sure what your asking? Did you sell these drugs? Hand yourself in at the nearest police station.
