After two events involving threats or violence at the high school that month, some parents demanded questions about a rumored drug bust that the prin- cipal claims never took place. Then there was a fatal accident in the late afternoon of Jan. 27.A 39-year-old man was killed. A 17 -year-old driver was involved. The investigation is continuing and police will not say who was responsible or whether drugs or alcohol were involved in any way. But again, the rumors of rampant drug and alcohol use sur- faced. Then came last week’s midwinter recess. Was the moon full last weekend? Is there something in the water? In three separate incidents Friday and Saturday, drugs or alcohol were reported in motor vehicle stops involving teen- aged drivers and some of their passengers. A number of young township residents were either issued summonses or arrested. Besides careless or reckless driving charges, some of the teens face underage possession of alcohol or marijuana and drug paraphernalia. We enjoy writing about the achievements of young people in this town and we know that even good kids can make bad choices. No doubt there will be parents and young people who will criticize The Item of Millburn and Short Hills for its coverage of this past weekend’s police blotter.

Maybe it is time for parents to understand that parenting doesn’t end when a child gets behind the wheel of the family car. Maybe it is time students learn that being 18 years old means you are considered an adult and a higher level of behavior is not only expected, but required of you. Maybe it’s time for people to stop spreading rumors and Letters to the Editor start discussing the truth.
