CONCERN PARENT
CONCERNED MOTHER
Hi my name is Iris Clark and I am a mother of a 4th grader who currently attends Lawton Chiles Elementry.
On Tuesday November 4, 2014 our 4th grade children attended a Drug Prevention and Awarenes demonstration. One where obviously WE WEREN'T INFORMED or even WARNED about. At this event, they were spoken to by two Boarder Line Control Officers, accompanied by two K9 units. The information my 9 year old son learned and brought to my attention, in my opinion was just a bit to graphic. I'm all for awaring our children of everyday possible tempations. However, as our children's parents I feel as though we should be able to decide, when and just how much information they can handle.
It's in my opinion they went a tad to far. Yes as I stated before, they should be aware of things they may confront in life. But at the age of nine a childs worry shouldn't be, how many people will die from bad choices they may make. The only concern these kids should be facing right now, is what will they be opening up on Christmas and every other holiday. As a parent, I would like my son to stay as innocent as possible at this age.
Therefor, I am reaching out and asking for your opinion on this matter. I have a 16 page booklet with everything our children were taught. In it, you will see just how much your child now may know about street substances.
If you are unaware of what all took place, and would like information. Please feel free to contact me at either number below. If this doesn't apply to you, PLEASE help me spread the word!
Thank you.
Iris Clark
