1 Drugs and The Law For Parents and Teens Alcohol and Drugs - the Legal Consequences Brochure brought to you by The Hall County Commission for Children and Families Gainesville, Georgia
2 Parents Can Make A Difference Parents Working Together Make a Difference in the Lives of Children Teens face a difficult challenge in resisting the use of alcohol and other drugs. Parents and communities together can prevent drug use among youth. Following are some basic components of a pledge a parent can make to keep their youth drug free. 1. Actively chaperone all underage parties in your home. 2. Do not serve or allow alcoholic beverages to be served or be on the premises at underage parties/activities in your home. 3. Make sure your home is drug free. 4. Do not permit any teenager who arrives or appears to be intoxicated to drive and alert their parents of their condition. 5. Call parents about your children. Know the parents where your child is going and encourage those parents to call you. Network with other parents. Other basics: Know where your child is going. Know whom your child is with. Know what your child is doing. Know when they will be home and be awake when they arrive. Know what the consequences are if the rules are broken. Make lists or contracts with clear expectations spelled out. Put in a prominent place like the refrigerator. Make rules before problems start and be sure your youth are involved in the process. Spend as much time together as you can. Look for teachable moments when you can process information with your child. It is not pestering, it s just good parenting.
3 Questions asked by Teenagers When is a teenager considered an adult? You will be charged as an adult the day you turn 17 years old. Will a minor convicted of pushing drugs get off easily because he is not an adult? No. You can be sentenced to serve time in a juvenile detention center. You could also be sent to live at a facility away from your home for two years. Is it possible for a person under 18 to go to prison for injuring someone else while driving under the influence of alcohol? Yes, if that person is 17 years old and by driving under the influence causes serious bodily harm to another person, the punishment is up to 15 years in prison. If that person is 16 years old or younger, they might have to serve time in detention or be sent to live in a place away from home for two years. Is drinking alcohol in a public place, regardless of who purchased it, against the law? Yes, consumption and/or possession is the offense, not how possession was obtained or the manner it was acquired. It does not matter how much alcohol you have in your possession. Is it legal for a minor to buy any alcohol if he has his parent s permission? No, it is never legal for a minor to buy any alcohol, or to attempt to purchase alcohol. What is the penalty for possessing marijuana? If you are 17 or older, possessing less than an ounce of marijuana could cost you a fine of up to $1000 and/ or up to 12 months in jail. Upon the second offense, your fine will likely increase and the likelihood of jail time will increase. You could also be placed on probation with many restrictions and additional fees. If you are convicted of possession of marijuana, your driver s license will be suspended for 6 months, even if you were not driving when you were caught with the marijuana. If you are under age 16, your ability to even get a license will be delayed. Possession of more than one ounce of marijuana is a felony, punishable up to 10 years in prison. Is it legal to purchase or possess drug paraphernalia? No, possession of drug paraphernalia is a crime. A third conviction for possession of drug related object is a felony, and is punishable up to 5 years in prison. If I am stopped for a traffic violation, can the car and its occupants be searched? Will I be responsible if someone in my car has marijuana in his possession? Yes, if the police officer has reasonable grounds to search the car, or intends to impound it, the entire car, including the trunk, may be searched. You may be responsible if someone in the car has illegal drugs or alcohol and you know it. If there were traces of marijuana found in my possession, could I be convicted of possession of a controlled substance? If there is enough of the substance to test to determine what it is, there is enough to convict you, even if it is all consumed in the test, or even if you are merely holding a few marijuana seeds.
4 Questions asked by Parents If my child injures someone while driving under the influence of alcohol, can I be held liable? If you allow your child to drive a family owned vehicle, and your child injures someone as a result of consuming alcohol or drugs, you could be liable in civil court for damages. Am I responsible for minors using alcohol in my home? Yes, you may be brought to court on criminal charges and for monetary damages in case of a civil suit when alcohol or other drugs are used by minors (with the exception of your own children if you are home) on your own private property. Can the court system help me if I cannot control my child who is using drugs? Yes, a minor beyond the control of his parents may be deemed unruly and subject to the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, if the child is not yet 18 years old. Jurisdiction of the Courts Any person 17 years of age or older is considered an adult in the State of Georgia Any person under 17 years of age is considered a juvenile by the law of the State of Georgia There are certain serious, violent crimes which would cause a juvenile to be charged as, and prosecuted as an adult.

7 There are consequences for poor choices. Law Enforcement Leaders Court Officials Responsible for Cases Involving Juveniles Judge Cliff Jolliff Hall County Juvenile Court In 17 years as a juvenile court judge, I have seen drugs and alcohol severely impact too many teens, and in some cases, drugs and alcohol killed them. Sheriff Steve Cronic Hall County Sheriff s Department The Hall County Sheriff s Office, School Based Program s Motto is (Advancing Our Future One Child at a Time). The Sheriff s Office has 18 officers assigned to the school system working daily with our youth providing positive role models and insuring our children have the knowledge to make the right choices. Remember, the choices we make today determine the person we ll be tomorrow. Larry Baldwin Solicitor Hall County State Court When teenagers choose to use alcohol or illegal drugs they need to realize that they are risking their driver s license, their future, their freedom and even their lives. If they stop and ask themselves Is it worth the risk? They will realize the answer is no. Chief Frank Hooper Gainesville Police Department Drug and alcohol abuse is a great concern for our entire community. We must all work together as a community to combat this serious problem which robs our youth and us of our future. Awareness as a parent is not a requirement it is an obligation. Lee Darragh, District Attorney Northeastern Judicial Circuit The use of illegal drugs by teens or adults leads to nothing but despair and trouble. Life has so much to offer. Why waste it on something so damaging to your well being?
