Actually good parents. They do not blindly disregard negative things about their child AND they admit to be wrong AND apologize for it too!
Sounds more like parents with trust issues in this case ngl. Like if some stranger knocked on their door and accused child of murdering 12 people parents would probably accept to be witness in court.
An actual test result from an official body is a little different.
I have mixed feelings, though I agree they owned up to their error, which is more important than being perfect, so they are good parents.
But...if someone was positive for every drug tested for, and there was no sign of it in their behavior, I would probably want to check the test since that seems like an error. Like if I peed in a cup at a doctor's office and they found me with traces of every disease, they'd have me come in to piss in another cup since error would be waay more likely.
They are only testing for a few standard drugs and there are enough people that really do all of those. My friend died from this shit, we did not know that he also did hard stuff.
Where would she even get barbiturates after the year 2000?! That should be their first clue!
As a parent this was kinda like I was thinking. Parents are just everyday humans trying to do what’s right and we don’t always succeed.
Good on these folks. Plus it’s actually a pretty funny story.
But why a school is doing a random drug test especially if they aren’t even qualified to read the results is a different story…
