Summertime
is party time Summertime is "party
time" for many teens and college students.
Summer parties often take place in private homes
while the parents are away. So, while you may know
where your kid is, you can't always assume they're
safe. Parties in private homes can present the perfect
"opportunity" to experiment with club
drugs. -- see LEAD's
Club Drug site.
