These teachers and their questionable choices

1 of these teachers is a mum at my DC school and she doesn't teach at the school. One of them is a teacher at my DC school and the other is a teacher at another school. They are all friends with each other. I'm trying to be vague as this could be outing.

I'm not really that close to them but know of their partying lifestyle. All 3 have children. They often go to raves, parties and do drugs. I found out last week that 1 of them held a party and couldn't find childcare so left their children in their home whilst partying at the bottom of their garden (which is quite far). They were all there and were all on drugs. The school mum host got people to take it in turns to watch the children. Often after they have been out and are on come downs they have their children.

I've just seen one of them has been to a well known event in London. Her whole family went including the children. She's posted pics and her youngest DC is asleep on the floor (it was held on the streets). I'm shocked. I just think why would you put your own needs above those of your children.
But what can I do? I can't actually prove any of this. Plus I'm not ok with them being teachers and coming into work on the Monday with a potential come down.

I bet other attendees had responsible jobs, but no - we hate teachers and we hate women.

I sympathise, if it’s weed I don’t think people realise how pungent it is - and how common it is getting! Two people near my house (yes I’ve seen them in the garden and out and about locally smoking it), and it stinks the houses out in the local area. Lots of people are fed up, but not sure what we can actually do - one is a high ranking teacher too.

i guess being a Teacher yes they’re human, but like Police and Doctors meant to be on the whole a pinnacle of good morals in society.

You say you’re not close to them, but “know of their lifestyle”. How can you possibly know a persons lifestyle if you’re not close to them?
You know they take drugs? How? Have you seen them take them? If not, how do you know? Someone told you? If so, how can you be sure of their facts? Sorry, but there’s a lot of holes in what you say - you are being extremely vague because, as you say, you don’t want to “out”, but to be honest, your presumptions are based on maybes, what you’ve heard. You’ve said “you know for a fact”, but do you? How? You seem unwilling to expand on this and use the excuse of “outing”. Sorry, but you need to be a lot clearer, rather than posting these veiled suppositions.

lots of people in all
professions do drugs - the doctors I went to uni with were some of the worst!

And it's sadly very wrong that you expect any profession to be a "a pinnacle of good morals in society." Why? Oh, the hipocrisy.
You can become a pinaccle yourself, let others live their lives.

You mean well OP, but you could make things worse for the children. Imagine the mothers lost their jobs and got a criminal record - how badly would that affect the children's lives. Some people can handle their party lifestyle along with work. Do the kids look neglected? You had a bad experience with your parents, but you shouldn't project on other people unless you are absolutely sure that the children are in danger, and have concrete evidence. If they are under performing at work, it will be picked up on in one way or another. Just distance yourself from them to avoid stressing about it.

I think you are catastrophising based on you describing Notting Hill Carnival as if it is some cesspit of depravity where children don’t belong 🙄
