Ask Kari: What should I do if I’m concerned about the safety of someone else’s child?

Ask Kari: What should I do if I’m concerned about the safety of someone else’s child?

Help, I need your advice as to how to handle an awkward situation that is happening at my daughter’s preschool. Almost everyday when I pick up my daughter from school, I see another parent pick up her child by opening her mini van door and letting the child hop into the front seat. The child is only 4 years old and should be put in the back seat in a car seat. The parent then drives off with the child moving around the car as she drives. When I brought this to the attention of the school administrators, they told me that it was really not any of their business. I was shocked. I fear for the safety of the child. What do you think I should do next?

Ask Kari: I discovered my college-age son smokes pot — how should I handle this?

My son is home from college and staying back at home for summer. I was in his room dropping off something and I saw that he has marijuana on his bedside table. I was shocked! I never would have thought my son smoked pot and I am very disappointed. He was not home when I discovered this and I have not mentioned it to him yet. I am against taking all drugs. How do I handle this?
