The other boy was very responsible in looking after my son when things went wrong and getting an ambulance. Now I’m wrestling with what action to take. We’ve had the conversation with our son about the dangers of drugs, expressed our disappointment and concerns, and warned about the impact it can have on his future prospects.

Should i be telling my son to no longer associate with the other boy (they are good friends but i’m concerned about risk taking behaviour when they get together)? I’d like to hear from other parents on what disciplinary action they would do if in a similar situation.   ... View more
