TO ALL the mothers or fathers and families, I am sure you all feel happy when one hears of the drug dealers being caught. But then I wonder :

1. What happens to the drug dealers after they are caught, and why are they released so soon?

2. What happens to all the drugs found? 3. Who destroys it? Thank you to the good, honest, hard working police, the people who help and support families with drug problems, but it seems it all is in vain.

Drugs are on the streets, sold to our children; our children become abusive, destroy their homes, kill their parents, steal and become criminals.

Drugs dealers become rich, and when they get caught, pay their fines and are back on the streets.

Physiologi­sts, psychiatri­sts, rehab centres, religious leaders, doctors, parents, families and teachers spend their time, effort, monies, prayers, but when our children are back with families and schools, it happens again because the dealers are worse than the devil, they control the community, our lives.

Where else can we turn to? The good police officer tries, the crooked police officer is just out there to make the money and turn a blind eye and our government is too busy worrying about things that have no relevance.

Please, please stop it at the source.

To our government, law, police, leaders – remember the drug dealers, crooked cops are murderers –they are killing our children, they should be given the death sentence.

Our schools must be cleaned up first – so we can enjoy the right to safe education. The dealers, runners must be stopped at all costs. What can we as parents do?

We as parents would, I am sure, be happy to be part of the school to stop this drug abuse at schools.

I humbly ask our police, does having this extra money (bribes) at the expense of the death of our children, make you happy?

Our government: What is our future without stable kids, while the drug dealers control our futures?

Please clean up our country.
