HORDES OF TERRIFIED PARENTS HAVE BEEN GIVEN A VOICE

I can't thank you enough for Sunday's articles on skunk. My
18-year-old son is currently awaiting trial for his last violent
outburst fuelled by his six-year addiction to the drug. I have
watched helplessly as he has spiralled into self-destruction. He has
transformed from a sharp-witted loving child into a monster. It is
the hardest thing in the world to ask the police to take your own
child away and thrust him into the criminal justice system when you
know what he really needs is drugs counselling. I am delighted that,
at last, hordes of terrified parents have been given a voice.
