LONDON (AFP) - A former primary school teaching assistant who admitted supplying cannabis to her son and daughter so they would not seek drugs from street dealers has been ordered to carry out 200 hours of community service but spared jail.

Nicola Cooper, 43, of Ixworth, Suffolk, told a magistrates' court in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, Tuesday that she and her partner did not want the children, aged 18 and 20, to be lured into using harder drugs.

Cooper, who made the admission after police found 116 gms of cannabis resin worth around £200 at her home, resigned from her job at a primary school near Bury St Edmunds after being charged.

The judge told the court he had at first considered giving Cooper a suspended jail sentence but had chosen a community service penalty instead.

Her partner, Ian Leppard, 51, said: "We didn't want them to hide it, but told them that it was not big or clever and they should be responsible. We made a family decision that they should not go around shouting about it.

"Cannabis was something we just had in the house. We have no idea how the police became involved."
 
Something's missing from this story. What were the cops doing in their house in the first place?

Their "kids" were both grown. And if they're hanging out with people their own age they really shouldn't have to worry about someone narcing on their dealer. :confused:

18 and 20. They should either be in college or out looking for a real job.

And if you're in college you can at least get high without anyone being all in your business.

different culture.
 
I hate these kind of stories. I also applaud the parents for their reasoning of keeping their kids away from "street dealers". Most people I know who actually consider pot a gateway drug are fucking morons. Most people I know who had pot BECOME a gateway drug had a situation like this:

Buyer: hey man got any pot?
Seller: no dude sorry, but I have these wonderful pills.
Buyer: eh I don't really do pills... but I do need my high
Seller: I'll give em to ya cheap

And thus a narcotic addict is born.

No shit! At 18, they should be scoring their own!

18 and 20 year olds do not exactly pose the kind of childcare horror that some would have us think.
 
I'd much rather have my kids smoking pot than drinking. At least you won't wrap yourself around a telephone pole while driving high. Alas - neither of them even like pot. They think it's icky that their mom gets high...
