Tough situation.
It's already been said, but don't blow up and forbid her from doing anything. You'll regret it, of that I am sure. Make sure she is given a chance to explain and tell her side of the story. If she feels that you'll actually listen then things are far more likely to go smooth.
Your approach to this has to be very cool and calculated...which cannot be easy in these situations.
I've lost two very close friends who were great guys to drugs. One killed himself and one overdosed 36 hours before rehab on one of those real bad batches of H that hit Perth. The 5hit can get anyone.
Best of luck mate. What a 5hitty situation to find yourself in. **** drugs and **** the dealers. If hell existed, I'd expect them to have their own special area.
when i was about 14 a freind of our family showed some photos of 50 year old men and women. well they were actually about 20 to 30 years old and crack heads.
he was head of the kings cross area drug command in the police. so many interesting stories, all made my mind up to stay away from that stuff.
best of luck with it all mate. i have got no idea on how to tackle that one, but if you see fit, can you keep us in the loop as to how it goes as like me, there are others here thatd appreciated the success and not so successful results to learn from you.
I asked her if she had anything in her room that was illegal
She said no
I have images of the real pills and shown her.
She now has bolted since 6 pm and the cops say i can list her missing till after 24 hrs
You can't blame her for doing the houdini... What did you expect?
As DM stated you went in her dresser drawers and that in any kids rulebook is a red card..Next time she'll be smarter and hide things much better, I would if I were her and living under your roof.
In fact she's is prob around at her boyfriends right now on the pingers reading seabreeze...... What suspicions made you go through her stuff anyways??? Only way out is to tell her you are pissed and to not bring the stuff in the house again..
Kids are gonna do pingers with or without your permission or approval.. Same as drinking and smoking... What can you do besides voice your opinion? You were young once so keep that in mind. Have you ever smoked weed or similar????
She's prob out of pocket 120 bucks now. That's gotta hurt a 15 yo more than dad throwing a wobbly...
Long story short.. Be thankful she didn't have meth or Ice...
I would of just replaced them with panadol.
smash back 2 of them put the last one in "beloveds wine (your wifeys )" (without out her consent like a responsible adult)Then rubb dencorub on your bell-end and drill her jackhammer till she cant walk
^^^
Good news! Phew.... a mate's 15yo daughter did a runner that lasted 4 days... that was not good. She was staying with some boy she met on FaceBook 
.
Take a deep breath and have the talk... say what you need to say but try not to get angry and raise your voice. She's not an adult - but she thinks she (nearly) is.
Good luck.
She is feeling betrayed because you went thru her personal zone.. I think every adolescent goes thru experimental stages. When i was at that age i was invincible.Me and my friends went thru a trail stage with the drugs thing i think a small percentage got hooked unfortunately.
When i grew up mum would do all the snooping My mum was pretty lenient. If you pissed mum of enough shed tell dad.. Then you be up for a complete asswhoopin. We used to run away but a few day later come back when the money run out and hunger pains kicked in.
Glad to here she is home safe and sound..
IMO from reading all the post sounds like most people don't care that you could have
drugs/guns ect under your own roof.
They can have all the privacy they want when they move out.
There should alway's be a VERY CLEAR line drawn about how you respect your parents decisions and what goes on in the house and what is in it.
What RPM said about you should be thankful she could be doing meth/ice, Is BS.
eg: I am so thankful I took 1 x'tasy not 2 and only spent a week in hospital.
There is nothing to be thankful for, she had drug's = she used or is using.
Some people have stated some very good ways to deal with it. There is always an
external influence, that's where I would start.
I have tried a good portion of substances. A good hobby will always win over drug's.
Interesting topic - I've got 12 years before my daughter becomes a teenager!
Anyone see Bob Carr on ABC breakfast News this morning. Very interesting debate about wasting police resources going after end users as opposed to concentrating on the importers / dealers. www.brisbanetimes.com.au/politics/federal/drugs-war-a-failure-that-bred-criminals-20120402-1w8v3.html
The legalisation arguement is as old as QLDERS trying to introduce day light savings.... you can't cure dumb.... they will never do it.
Agree with the reasoning he gives though.... catching users is useless.... catch and shut down manufacturers......
It's a reasonable idea to de-criminalise some drugs.
Some are so addictive that dealers should be shot!
This meth crap only takes one dose to destroy you.
Yet the kids all want to try, they believe they can
stop whenever they feel like it, WRONG, it will kill you.
Even pot will eventually pickle your brain, I guess it
helps if you don't have the brains not to start you
will certainly not have the sense to stop.
Please go and rob somewhere else when your addicted.
I think a big point is most of the kids today have never seen or understand the hard side of life. Most wouldn't even believe you if you told them.
I believe that you can punish her as she has broken a rule by bringing drugs into your house. But make her punishment something to learn by. Make her accompany you to a homeless shelter. Let her see what drugs can do to you. (not saying all homeless people are druggies) I know it sounds hard but take her to a known prostitute hangout, see how she likes that, even go and sit down at the local booking station on a Sat night.. Reality is what today's kids understand.
I agree a good hobby or sport is the best deterrent. That and for the girls looking good is what i'm working on. My Daughter is 11 and son 8 so I'm about to start down your path.
Thanks for sharing and best of luck.
It may help to talk to her or show her pictures of where eccies are made, clandestine labs are usually disgusting and criminal mixers often cut in other substances to help their bottom line.
Explain to her that you really have no way of knowing what is being put into the pills.
It just may make her think twice.

so, decrim drugs for who? 18 +? so what. the dealers will still have a market for the younguns, and those who want more than what they are allowed. silly debate. its only going to change the market, and new drugs will hit the streets.
