If you're seeing kids in the gutter with a drug problem, you can either be interested in them becoming kids in the gutter without a drug problem or in them not being in the gutter (and thus being able to avoid the drug problem). Despite what certain people will tell you, drugs don't magically jump at unsuspecting kids to turn them into fiends. Some drugs are extremely chemically addictive but most addictions start as psychological addictions and most of those are either from self-medicating, numbing or for performance enhancement. And this doesn't even get into why people get into the illegal drug trade to begin with. But reality is much more complex and touchy-feely than a good story about good cops shooting bad criminals trying to corrupt our children.
