5. Prescription medicine abuse

My kids school district has a drug abuse problem from prescribed drugs stolen from their parents medicine cabinet (along with alcohol). Yet in all the trips to the doctors office not one discussion about common sense drug storage and responsibility of parents, adults.

Honestly I don't see it as the doctors problem either. It's an across the board parental supervision problem. Doctors and their medical staff have enough work focusing on actual medical stuff and are not parent trainers.

Common sense seems to have died in modern society. There's warnings out there based upon a lifetime of experience, yet less people are heeding it and taking advantage of it.
