BRIDGETOWN (THE NATION):

ADDRESSING a Parent-Teacher Association meeting on Sunday at the Charles F. Broome Primary School, director of youth affairs Richard Carter, said there were cases where children had done drug runs down to St. Vincent on the weekends, and then went to school on Monday morning.

"There are documented cases where children are involved on the weekends in cutting up marijuana, packaging it, and preparing it for sale. Children as young as primary schoolchildren are assisting in the marketing and distribution of marijuana."
