A friends DD has told my DD she took a drug called Molly at the weekend. I have not heard of this drug before apparently it was taken in powder form wrapped in paper and swallowed.
I don't want to betray my DDs trust but equally I would not forgive myself if something happened to my friends DD.
What should I do?

I went and looked too, and the coroner specifically said that the E without the water would not have killed her, nor would the water without the E.
very very sad but actually v rare.

Leah Betts is the worst advert for anti-drug hysteria there is.

She would still be alive today if she'd had correct information about the safe(r) way to take Ecstasy.

plus it was nearly 20 years ago and you would be hard pushed to find anything more recent imo.

I think it's about time they had honest drugs education in school. This 'just say no' shit teaches nothing.

Well quite Nigella. Last time I could be bothered to Google stats there were around two million Ecstasy tablets being taken a week the UK. One high profile death in 20 years ain't bad odds to be perfectly honest.

tell her this isnt the same as the friend having half a bottle of vodka over the weekend this could kill the girl sometimes teens tell us things off the cuff so we do something about what ever it is you need to tell your friend imo

I agree, Liberal. Drug education at school is a must. I would go further and advocate legalization (ensure quality control & safe supply) and age limit at 21.

You are in a difficult position as if you tell your friend it may backfire. Your daughter might not trust you in future and she may fall out with her friend. It may be worth it if your friend would be able to stop her daughter taking a drug again but I'm not sure that would be the case.

It would perhaps be better if you talk to your daughter's friend yourself rather than immediately telling her mum.
