News articles are posted here about many things, but here is one that is in a way about me. I asked the question mentioned in the article last year on Yahoo Answers because I came up with a movie idea about a girl who drugs her parents in order to sneak out of the house, but accidentally kills them. A person who read the question thought that there was a good chance of it being real case of a teen who wants to drug their own parents. I found this article over a year ago, and I was rather disheartened to know that someone thought that I might have had sinister intentions.
Teen wants to drug parents, as in unconscious

Teens under too much pressure
Some of the questions asked on the Internet these days are scary, and sometimes involve criminal behavior. Some of the responses as well show criminal conspiratorial assistance. Had this question not involved drugs, an article about it wouldn't have crossed my mind. Of course, it does, in a criminal as well as morally reprehensible way.
Heard about the child who wants to drug their parents so he or she can behave inappropriately? That’s taking it a little too far, right? Not for the person in this story who may be a real adult, or a teen posing as an adult.
Enter Ellis, a person seeking an answer on Yahoo's Ask.
Question: “Have you ever heard of a child that drugs their parents so that they can do something they shouldn’t be doing? I mean drugging them unconscious” [sic]
Ok, this could be a real adult, a kid posing as an adult, or a couple of kids seeking an answer to a question that should raise red flags all over the United States, especially for the unfortunate parents who are the target of this investigational question. Is this a real adult who has knowledge, or suspicions that this is going on, or already has happened? Is this a group of teens sitting around a computer with nothing else to do but ride the icons of cyberspace like it was a steering wheel in a stolen automobile? Or, maybe this is the real thing, and the kid is posing as an adult to cover his or her trail, in which case we should be alarmed, and back-tracking the email address.
Ellis would like to put his parents to sleep
In any event, if this is representative of teen “fun” these days, it is in bad taste. If this is for real, then we need to do some serious work with our youth because we’re rapidly losing them to both drugs, and violence. And according to one Ellis' respondent, he is not the only one who needs help.
One of the people responding to Ellis’ question was Rich G.
Response: “That would be ace, it would save me from scoring my own drugs.”
As in, yeah dude, that would be too cool to drug our parents so we could steal their prescription drugs, money, and go partying, tearing up the streets in their car too! Ah, dude, that's the stuff!
Not much else needs to be said here. If this happened, or is about to happen, the fact that anyone would think about doing something like this has some serious psychological issues. And to do it to a parent is even more compelling.
The fact that drugs are at the center of this doesn’t surprise me, as addicts are capable of anything. Many, many times throughout an addict’s life they swore up, down, and sideways they’d never stoop to certain behaviors. Unfortunately, that is the exception rather than the rule. Plenty of addicts said they wouldn’t resort to prostitution, until one day the money dried up, desperation set in, and the drug was yanking on them so hard they would have pimped grandma out, and thrown her out on the 8 Mile stroll to make some loot for them. Both females, and males have sold their bodies for drugs, while others would offer to sell body parts for drugs if they could survive another day absent the pieces. There is no limit to what an addict will do, especially when a pack of angry gorillas are chronically pounding on your back commanding you to feed them, NOW!
Prescription drug abuse with teens rising
The story of the person who wants to put thier parents to sleep is symptomatic of a more pressing problem. A large portion of the younger generation placing little, or no value on their own lives, as well as others, including families. The Internet is patent with people not out for the right thing. Daily, one can surf the net, and find inappropriate musings, if not outright illegal activity, on the sites that are in the same vein as the one highlighted here. Seeking information on drugging one's parents is a criminal conspiracy at the very least when you get a response from what is now a co-conspirator. It’s like there is this pulsing, seething undercurrent within the younger generation that finds them stressed to the max, with little hope due to the economic climate, and pressured to succeed, while reality presents little in the way of opportunity for them.
The recent death by overdose from the prescription drug Xanax, and Oxymorphone of the 16 year-old girlfriend of a U. S. Fort Lewis soldier highlights the pervasiveness of the drug problem. The girl was found in Pvt. Timothy Bennitt's barracks, and the soldier is now facing 82 years in a military prison for the charges against him. The military is having problems with soldiers abusing drugs as well, including with their spouses, and girlfriends.
We need to start educating these children earlier in their lives about the risky behaviors that could find them one day trying to put their own parents to sleep. Can you imagine a world where all the parents are sleeping? With 17,500 new teens getting high for the first time on prescription drugs each week, many parents are nodded out already.
