Peer pressure to try drugs, alcohol, and tobacco doesn’t end when a kid says no.  In fact, pressure can increase when “friends” try harder to make kids feel like dorks, wimps, chickens, or outcasts when they don’t go along with the crowd.

However, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Kids now have a socially acceptable excuse that can stop pushy peers in their tracks.  The words “my parents test me” are the equivalent of being 100% certain of getting caught and getting in trouble.

“We’ve discovered a way to work together to fight peer pressure,” says Florissant Police Chief, William Karabas. 

The Florissant Police Department recently announced a new alliance with TestMyTeen.com, an organization that has donated $5,000 worth of free home drug test kit vouchers to be shared anonymously with parents who need them.

Beginning November 1, 2007, parents can access helpful information and get testing kits for detecting drugs at no charge (limit one per family, (only shipping fees apply, usually around $6.00). 

Electronic vouchers require no interaction with the police.  They protect the anonymity of parents who redeem them online.  Ordering is completed online from the privacy of your own home and shipping is done using non-descript packaging to protect privacy.

On-going random testing continues to provide kids with the excuse they need and parents with the peace of mind they deserve.

Chief Karabas adds, “We believe this program offers parents a way to have a private and early detection intervention method. We also believe that this deterrent will help keep children from ruining their lives through drug abuse.
