SafeHomes is a parent networking campaign based on the belief that
to prevent
a child from using drugs, you need to create an atmosphere where drug
use is
not acceptable. One of the main reasons kids take drugs is pressure
from
peers. When parents join together and take a united stand against drug
use, they
become much more effective than if they act separately. Parents can
benefit from
That we will cooperate with schools, law enforcement agencies and young
If I join SafeHomes, won't my child think I don't trust him/her? Trust does not have to be "blind trust." Parents have every right to question where their children are going, or what they are doing. Sometimes we need to love our children enough not to trust them. We need to realize that they are growing up in a world much different from the one in which we grew up. What was experimentation in the 50's and early 60's has become regular use. The statistics don't lie. We have an epidemic of drug/alcohol dependence among our young; and their dependence is growing by geometric proportions. Members of SafeHomes can be open about their activities with their children. They may tell their children that they are members of a group because they care and want to be informed about the world in which the child is living. A child can always be told,” I love and trust you, but I don't trust the world in which you are growing and I need to know about that world in order to be a good parent to you." SafeHomes contracts are not legally binding, but are statements of concern and intent. SafeHomes and its members are not able to guarantee or enforce compliance. Parents are the best protection young people have against drug abuse. Remember, friends don't set boundaries, parents do! I Pledge To Provide A Safehome I Will Provide Adult Supervision For All Children Visiting My Home. I Will Provide A Secure Storage Place For All Forms Of Alcohol, Firearms And Other Potentially Hazardous Items. I Will Not Allow Parties Or Gatherings In My Home When I Am Not There. I Will Not Serve Nor Will I Allow Youth Under The Legal Drinking Age (21) To Consume Alcohol In My Home Or On My Property. I Wish For Communication With Any Parent Who Personally Observes My Child Using Alcohol Or Other Drugs. I Will Communicate With Any Safehomes Parent Of A Child I Personally Observe Using Alcohol Or Other Drugs.
