I am a NC resident, father of a 16 year old son.
My son is like other stupid, selfish, short sighted kids. He was suspended last year for pot possession at school - he was actually high at school. We decided to put him into military school.. under the naive belief that that they would straigten him out. Well, two weeks ago he was expelled for testing positive. Summarily dismissed.
So, now we are in a position where he can't go back to public school, and has basically dropped out with less than a GED. Great.
I am livid with him, and I think he is the main culprit. We have tried everything to get him to alter behavior. No luck. He has a miguided circle of friends who think getting high is the end-all.
So, here is the question: Can I go after the friends he hangs out with? They are all over 18, some of them over 21. I know they provide the pot, and they allow him to hang with them while they all party.
When I looked up the laws in NC, it stats that sale to, or employing a minor, is a felony. If you are older than 21, it is 2 classes higher.
Now, understand, I don't really want to destroy other peoples lives. I know these kids are all idiots, but I am really hurting with this behavior, and I feel that these other kids are at least partly to blame for the mess our whole family is in.
Is there any civil action a parent can take against drug users who influence their kids?
Other advice is appreciated.
