Many parents and teachers want to be considered "cool" by their teenage kids and students. But what does it cost to be "cool"? Two Newport, Ohio teachers were recently arrested for letting students drink alcohol or smoke marijuana.

"Adults may want to be viewed as the 'cool parent', scoff at substance-abuse laws as intrusive or even consider under-age experimentation with alcohol or other drugs under their supervision as safely controlled - but 'control' is only a delusion. Underage access to intoxicating substances can swiftly spin out of control."

Adults in the Newport case have been charged with "unlawful transaction with a minor". Learn more online.
