Resources and the "Story of Bob" (Bond of Silence)

4/7/2011

 
You may remember the story that was portrayed in a Lifetime movie about Katy McIntosh and her husband, Bond of Silence.   

After Bob's murder on New Year's Eve 1997 Katy waited for five years while the  police worked tirelessly to obtain the evidence to prosecute and convict his killers.  During that period, Katy developed her  perception of the societal forces and lack of understanding amongst young people that created the circumstances leading to Bob's death.  She grew to recognize the need to advise and educate young members of the community about the risks that arise with the combination of young people, alcohol, and a lack of supervision.
Part of her ongoing work is a website that she keeps current and that provides a number of resources.  You can find her site here and the resources page here. 

Average age a child 1st tries drugs

3/28/2011

 
The average age a child will first try drugs is 13. 

Studies indicate that people who reach 21 without engaging in destructive behaviors are likely to never do so, which is why we passionately educate about current trends, warning signs and the long-term impact of destructive behaviors.  


In a recent survey of Kamiah Youth we learned that the average age of onset to first try marijuana was 11 in the 6th graders; just over 12 in the 8th grade; 14 in the 10th grade and just before 15 for the 12th grade.

• 19 percent report having tried drugs by the eighth grade.

• 80 percent of high school students and 44 percent of middle-schoolers say they have seen drugs used and sold.

Should I allow supervised underage drinking at home

3/11/2011

 
  • Should I allow supervised underage drinking at home in order to teach my child responsible drinking habits?

  • NO. Researchers followed 428 families in the Netherlands over a three-year period, and found that young people whose parents permitted drinking at home were more likely to drink more, to drink out of the home, and to develop alcohol problems over time. A recent study of 1,388 young people and their parents in Chicago followed the children from ages 12 to 14, and found that those who reported at age 12 receiving alcohol from their parents at home were significantly more likely by age 14 to have been drunk or to have had five or more drinks at a time in the past two weeks. Young people who start drinking before age 15 are five times more likely to develop alcohol problems. Keeping alcohol away from young people seems to have a clear result: it delays initiation of alcohol use.http://roomfordebate.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/06/17/should-parents-be-jailed-when-kids-drink/?src=mv
