New law to keep drug dealers farther from kids

I am glad to hear about this new law. Our teens are the number one target for drug dealers and that's because they are more vulnerable than the rest of us. They need a safer environment as many drugs are sold around the schools...

I have personal experience with this problem. My son went to Ashley High School, he was given his first taste of heroin right there at school in a bathroom. That was 2 years ago, we are still trying to save our child. A new law isn't going to change things, probably not a new police cheif either. My son eventually started going to where the drugs originated from, mostly the public housing area behind Lakeside School in Wilmington. In trying to save my child I followed him to his dealer, yes he has one of his own now. I took pictures of them, all the kids buying and all of the people selling to them. These pictures were given to Wilmington PD, along with names, addresses and some of their phone numbers. My son is now in the system, none of the dealers that sold him the drugs are. How many more of our kids are going to get hooked and or die before the dealers are taken off of the streets. New laws won't stop this, only enforcing all of the drug laws against all of the dealers and suppliers will.

Everybody who commented on this topic criticized the effort. Well I notice that everyone always criticizes but never offers any resolutions...or better yet...TRIES to do anything to help besides sitting back and degrading others efforts. Be happy that we have politicians who are trying to make an effort. If you have better ideas, then contact and inform your local politician or get in the game yourself.

Peace.

It's not much of a safe zone if you can purchase crack from some of the football team.

Without a new police chief that actually enforces lasw besides speeding tickets. This law means nothing.... 40 in a 35 is so much more serious than crime or drug dealing.....

I guess a child could get "hooked"on drugs easier if they bought them near a school or park.

Bozo is laughable at times...just HOW is this going to make our children "safer"? Last time I checked...only lawful citizens care about laws. Criminals, which drug dealers most certainly are, ignore laws as thats what makes them......CRIMINALS...Just another FEEL GOOD piece of legislature that means...ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
