Screen other parents.
Check out parents of your child's friends. "If you know they are heavy drinkers or do drugs, encourage your child to hang out at your house with his or her friends," Cohen-Posey says. If your child plans to sleep over at a friend’s house, ask about the host parents. Are they strict, funny, mean or weird? "Give a large menu of words and stick in a couple that may indicate funny business," Cohen-Posey says. "Casually check sleeping arrangements."
