Fears over children's contact with drugs

ALL children are likely to come in contact with drugs and alcohol at some point in their childhood, the ISPCC has warned.

The charity revealed yesterday that it has treated more than 6,600 children over the last three years for drug and alcohol related problems.

ISPCC director of services Grace Kelly said: "I think it is important that parents are aware that their children will come into contact with drugs and alcohol. The likelihood of that happening is huge."
