Ever since I could remember, drug addicts have always been part of the news. Every day, there would be at least a single incident involving drug, drug abuse, or drug-related crime. It’s a really scary world we’re living in right now and it’s only getting scarier.
Especially now that I’m already a parent, fear has become more real for me than ever. I’ve grown to fear such threats not because I’m concerned with myself, but more because I’m worried about my wife and of course our son. Drugs threaten not just adults or teenagers, but even children nowadays. It’s a very alarming and pressing issue. This is why in the last few decades, drug rehab centers have been put all over the world to address this growing concern. But even if tons of effort are exerted in addiction treatment, I guess it would be impossible to completely eradicate the problem if we don’t strike at those who profit from proliferating these substances.
As a parent , I could only do so much. Even if there are so many violent and extreme solutions that I would like to use as a drastic solution to the problem of drugs, the truth is I could only pray that mateo grows to be a strong man - strong in build as well as in morals, so that even if he faces a world that is on a high, he will not veer away from what he thinks is right!
