Drug Problem Widespread In Carroll County Schools
Carroll County faces a broad youth drug issue in its high schools with drugs from marijuana to heroin reportedly accessible. Juvenile officer Michael Preston and mental health director Robert Henderson contrast views on causes and social impact while a Westminster student nicknamed Stu describes peer groups and the pull of a drug culture that seeks belonging, acceptance, and a critique of social institutions. Preston emphasizes prevention and family breakdown as root causes, while Henderson and Stu see a shifting ethic among youths and a potential, troubling undercurrent of revolt against established authority.
