Report it to the police, corporate and consider talking to your local news. Make sure school admin is aware as well. If you can shift them to different schools (i know not always possible) do so.

My usual response to this kind of thing is to get louder not quieter, that said, I’m also able to put on an angry enough face to make people cross the road which is not a power everyone has.

Go with your comfort level but I would urge reporting to the police and doing what you can to get out of what sounds like broken area.

It’s a tough choice between ruining your kids social and school life for a few years or letting the lives of many kids be thrown down the toilet because of a meth addiction.

I know that you want to protect you and yours but, morally, you have to do something to make this stop. As others have said, go to the police, the school/s and the local news and make as big of a stink over this as you can, those managers need to go to jail and those kids need to be rescued from life destroying consequences of the actions of adults that should fucking well know better.

Have a talk with your kid and see what they think should be done and put a plan in place for them to be supported in the aftermath and even consider moving home if that is at all a viable option for you.

I don’t know what you want to hear. You seem to understand the right thing to do and the potential consequences. There’s no easy way here but I know the decisions I’d be able to best sleep at night having made. When it comes to kids safety and well-being, helping a kid on meth takes precedence over potential reputation damage.

Another way to look at it… isn’t giving drugs to ”underage” people (children) pretty clearly child abuse, and required to be reported?

I think there’s a couple of nested problems. The first problem is a manager is giving employees meth, which could have been your son, if not now then maybe one day. You know what to do about this, but it’s nested within another problem, which is how to do that without alienating your son.

So talk to your son about what bothers him about what happened and what he wants to do about it. Then, after he talks, tell him how it made you feel and what you want to do about it. Ask him if that’s something he would like to do, have help with, or have you do for him.

You’re asking the right questions, but I think you’re asking the wrong people.

Police, corporate, news, and raise hell on social media.

Meth? This ain’t no small thing. Save anyone from meth addiction and that is a good thing.

Corporate can defranchise them. So raising this on social media would work.

I’m pretty sure regardless of anything else…

Help your son look for a new job. This is not an environment I would be fostering. Help him find a more suitable place to be.

The rest of it, you may still have trouble deciding what to do, but I don’t think it matters nearly as much as helping to find or create a better environment for him to work in.

You should teach your son to mind his own business - his life will be easier going forward because of it.

Virtually all restaurants have drug users. You’re not going to stop a systemic problem by trying to narc to the police or corporate. The owners of the restaurant, the people who actually have hiring abilities, desperately need warm bodies and they’ll more or less take anyone.

Assuming the police do anything at all, you’re looking at criminal charges for someone who will likely be replaced by someone else willing to do the same thing. Potentially even the young teen might get charges out of it.

Is that really helping anyone? If the teen is willing to take meth in the first place, that’s the real issue that needs to be addressed. She will just find someone else to get it from- that shit is rampant. I understand that meth is a terrible thing (I’ve been through heroin addiction myself, been clean 6+ years by now). But sometimes we just have to accept we can’t regulate everyone’s life without risking potentially worse consequences by doing so.

If you really want to help then you, the adult, should talk to this young girl who is using meth. Either talk to her or talk to her parents. Tell her what she’s doing is dangerous and she should get help.

Beyond that, what else can you do?

So, I haven’t seen it mentioned yet, but drugs aren’t the major problem here. We have presumably an adult male giving hard drugs to an underage female.

This could easily be a situation where management is grooming this poor girl so they can rape her. Police need to be notified ASAP.

You know who have short memories? Teenagers and drug users. You know who constantly have drama in their lives? Yep, teenagers and drug users.

If you decide to take action, wait three weeks and submit the complaint anonymously. Every police force has an anonymous tip line. Don’t get too specific like saying “we saw X manager give U employee meth on date”. Say that you witnessed management distributing drugs to minors and hang up.

With the passage of time. Your son will presumably be in a new job and the prior one will have long forgotten him due to high turnover. You can do something while still protecting your son. Just be sure he never, ever, let’s anyone know that you/he submitted the anonymous complaint.

If there’s retaliation I’d ask myself if I’d be ok with my son being raised in a town where meth usage is not only normalized but trying to stop it is stigmatized. I already know the answer to that question, hell no.

Think, if his friends are mad at him for snitching, what will they be doing in the future, if not are already doing now? They’ll be experimenting with meth and as they get older and your son will probably get pressured into it to.

I don’t think them being teenagers is an excuse. My friends tried plenty of drugs, weed, ecstacy, peyote, cocaine. Never fucking meth.

I say, alert the authorities and watch what happens. If the response is negative then you don’t want to live in that shit hole anyways.

I’ve been stalked by authentic criminals before. Ime cops don’t care and the criminals will do anything including getting to to your home to intimidate you. Cell tapping… Utility poll tapping. I’m being 100% serious.

If it’s a drug crew that knows what they are doing, they don’t care… About anything. They extorts people and users and can get their weak spines to do anything for them.

I used have them call the cops on me… Constantly being tailed by police if I was in an area they didn’t want me…

America is a joke, don’t think we still don’t have mobs that own politicians and small towns.

Do what you want but don’t be naive, if your going to fight with the authentic streets than someone’s going to either die or got to prison regardless if they are innocent.
