Bath Police Teach Parents About Kids' Risky Business
"Hidden in Plain Sight," presented by Bath and Copley police, will recreate a teen's bedroom to help parents identify illegal drug use, sexual activity and detrimental disorders.
Ever wonder if your teen is involving him or herself in the kind of behavior that could derail their development or even land them in jail?
Sometimes, the warning signs of underage sex or drug use are in open view, yet they go overlooked by unsuspecting parents.
The Bath and Copley police aim to change that with "Hidden in Plain Sight," an exhibit that recreates a teen's bedroom to help parents identify illegal drug use, sexual activity and certain disorders, like anorexia.
