My son is selling drugs. What can I do?

I just got my son selling drugs.. not a lot.. I believe he just started it. Marijuana I believe..

I talked to him.. He promised me to stop.. 2 days ago he was drunk.. and I asked him to go home and sleep.. He hit me..

He is 18.. up to now a great son. I cant accept it.. It is out of question. But I dont know what I can do.

I wanna call the cops.. He is not listening me and I am afraid that the thing can get worse but before it I would like to know what the implications if I call the cops? What can happen to him?

Can someone help me?

We live in Ontario

Thanks

Perhaps involve a counselor. I hate to say it (and I am sure others disagree) but marijuana is not the worse thing on Earth. Maybe he's just being a crazy kid.

Talk to him and let him know--not under your roof!

Thanks for your help

It is get impossible to talk to him.. I know marijuana is not the worse thing but he is not only using but also selling it.. And he is becoming violent.

I cant force he to go to consenlor.. I tried but he refused.

Now I have to do something just dont know what.. I would like to know what the Canadian law (Ontario) says about it. What is going to happen if I call the cops?

They can arrest him and it will be on his record. I woud sue that as a last resort. You could make him leave and go live somewhere else. Even evict him if need be.

call the cops i have on many occasions for my 21yr old son he will realise its for his own good and when hes in jail u will be able to sleep and you will know where he is

My son is also selling drugs. Probably on pot. My husband is weak. He would like to just pretend that nothing is wrong.

i just found out that my foster son is selling drugs and i am beside myself with worry.

i've been told he sells all sorts of drugs by someone i trust, who told me because they were concerned.

hes 20 years old and had the crappiest life, i did my best by him since he came to live with me, and i'm so upset to find that he is doing this.
not only cause i am worried that he will get into trouble with the law, but because i detest what drugs have done to my friends/neighbours kids.

what can i do, he lives with me.

The first thing you can do is put him out of your house. If he is selling drugs, and those drugs are found in your home, the police could potentially show up anytime and take him into custody - and any drugs found on the property could subject your home, your car, or your other personal property to seizure under the law.

You probably should also consider turning him in to the police yourself. He's NOT going to learn anything with you protecting him from the consequences of his actions. I mean, how would you feel if you learned that something he did (sell drugs) caused the serious injury or death of someone, you knew about it, and did nothing about it?

Caring parents aren't going to do something that could possibly affect their entire life in a bad way. Whether he realizes***** it or not in jail there are other ways of handling it. Every time your child does something wrong you don't need to send him to jail get off your ass and help him deal with the problem not just call up the cops.
