As a concerned parent of children attending Melinda Leigh PDS in Mobile, AL, I am deeply distressed by the recent arrest of the establishment's owner on meth charges. This incident has raised serious concerns about the safety and well-being of our children. Methamphetamine is known to transfer through sweat, putting our kids at risk every time they come into contact with an affected individual. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, exposure to methamphetamine can have detrimental effects on children's health and development. In 2019 alone, Alabama reported over 2,000 cases related to meth abuse (source: Alabama Department of Public Health). It is alarming that these incidents are not isolated but part of a larger drug problem affecting our community. We need immediate action from local authorities to ensure that public spaces frequented by children are free from drug users and dealers. We urge them to implement stricter regulations for establishments like Melinda Leigh PDS and enforce regular inspections for illegal substances. Our children deserve safe environments where they can learn and grow without fear or harm. By signing this petition, you're supporting a safer future for all kids in Mobile, AL. Please sign now!
