Parents Beware!


Information & Misinformation

Your child can learn that drugs are harmful or “harmless” on the Internet. Type the name of a drug of abuse into any search engine, such as Google, and explore the links the search engine finds. Nominate the most irresponsible sites you find for the Parent Corps "Hands Off Our Kids" Award.

Online Drug Sales
Your child can also buy drugs on the Internet. Check out sponsored links (which are paid ads) as well as website links. Some sponsored links are great, some are terrible.

Google's sponsored links appear in this section on all pages of the Parent Corps website to alert parents to what's out there.

Thirteen more Parent Leaders will be recruited, trained, and hired to start mobilizing parents in their children’s schools as of December 1, 2004 in five more states:

California

Will the Parent Corps be in any other states?
