From the Publisher:

First Response Guide to Street Drugs Awarded 2002 National Parenting Center Seal of Approval

Detective's Book Gives Parents Street-Level Insight Into Drugs and Drug Culture

The National Parenting Center has announced that First Response Guide to Street Drugs, a unique and comprehensive drug awareness guide written by drug expert Detective Steve Walton, has been awarded the prestigious 2002 National Parenting Center Seal of Approval. After an extensive eight-week evaluation period, the Center's testing officials found the book to be among the top products for parents and those who work with children.

"We are honored to have First Response Guide to Street Drugs endorsed by The National Parenting Center," says Detective Walton. "This Seal of Approval underscores the fact that one of the most important roles in the battle to protect children from today's increasingly dangerous drug culture is to teach parents and professionals who work with kids what to watch for. Drugs like Ecstasy, Methamphetamine, G.H.B and others are more prevalent and readily available than ever before," he says, "and they're often glorified on TV, in the movies and in music. With the lure of drug use intensifying for kids, adults can't afford to be uneducated. They are a child's first line of defense."

Written in an easy-to-understand, quick-reference format, First Response Guide to Street Drugs shares 78 pages of expert information on today's most popular drugs. The book helps parents identify street drugs, spot drug paraphernalia, recognize signs and symptoms of drug use and interpret drug jargon. It also gives them candid information they can share with their children on the devastating effects of today's most popular drugs to help prevent drug experimentation.

About The National Parenting Center: The Center, headquartered in Woodland Hills, CA, is dedicated to helping create better-informed parents as they tackle the challenges of parenting in the new millennium. The Center's Seal of Approval program is an independent testing procedure involving a multi-step process conducted over an eight-week period.
