Children and Substance Abuse.

As society continues to decline morally, as the homes become less stable, then the children suffer.  This is what we are seeing as the turn of the century continues forward.  Children are falling prey to substance abuse.   Children and substance abuse is not a “new” problem.   Children use alcohol and drugs to deal with their problems the same way adults can.
