MARIJUANA: GROW-OP KIDS NEED PROTECTION

Dear Editor,

There has been much concern by the RCMP and the B.C. Association of Social
Workers in regard to children growing up in grow-ops. I could not agree more.

The Ministry for Children and Family Development must protect children from
parents and anyone else affiliated with marijuana growing operations.

Early introduction of criminal elements to children at any age is not a
responsible parental or family quality, as young children are not able to
comprehend the risks to which they are exposed.

Living in sub-standard conditions becomes an acceptable and daily routine
for the children.
