I read a complete story on this. Apparently the kid was told in school that if you saw your parents using drugs you should call 911 to "get help for them." The kid recalled seeing his parents sniff some coke the night before, and decided to be a good kid and "help" them. (A commentator pointed out the problem right here: That the child wasn't told that 911 was not a social service agency; that calling 911 would result in his parents being arrested and going to jail. The child is still so confused about this that he subsequently tried to burn down a neighbor's house so he could go to jail and see daddy.) Both parents lost their jobs. Schools *may* be forced to tell the truth in the wake of this. This kid is bewildered and miserable over what he's done to his otherwise happy family. 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718
