Do you let them stay friends with them? Do you let them go to a party where you know these things will be at? Do you trust in their better judgement?

I would sit down and discuss all the negative effects of both using drugs and alcohol to my child.I would also discuss with my child how it not only effects them but others around them such as the drunk driver that killed or harmed so and so by choosing to drive drunk.Or the crack addict who killed a person for money to get a quick fix.Cause and effect....I would probably have news articles featuring the family members of the victims of those realities.
And then I would let my child decide for them selves if they want to go to that party.I would hope that my trust was in the right place.And if my child disappointed me after all of that then I would not allow him/her to be around those people and I would contact the parents of those friends...
It starts with talking and then it should end with trusting thats what my mom used to tell me...

If you KNOW it is happening....No they shouldn't be able to go partying with them--thats when bad things start to happen! I would let them be friends but they have to come to YOUR house...I wouldnt let them go out partying---Even if you trust your kids 100% you cant trust the people they are with like that, so you have no idea what their actions may be.

educate them and trust them in their better judgement. let them know that they don't have to be peer pressured. i've been around of ton of people that did drugs but i personally never did. its all about how you raise your kid and how tempted they are to try these things..

Having had issues in my life w/ME, I'd most deffinatly go to the other parents, and let them know!!! I know some parents mite not beliece it,reast poorly, but the choices are all theirs at that point!! I've lost too maney friends in my life,I'll not just set idlely by and do nothing!! this is called INTERVENTION!

Of course this should be stopped. Ask you kids what should be done. Then don't pay attention to their answer if it is wrong just say, "sorry wrong answer."
Deal with it and take them out of the situation.

Ask your kid?
Why wouldn't you trust their judgement? They have been shaped and formed opinions based on how you raised them.
