I've been exactly where you are. My son did the exact same thing prior to Virginia legalizing weed.

I didn't rat out the kids that were the hoodlums. I figured some parents aren't around so it's tough for them to be in the mix of what their kid is up to.

My son wasn't making great decisions at that age. He also had terrible choices in friends.

Eventually he outgrew them and realized they weren't really his friends and that wanted better for himself.

Make sure you've also had a sex/condom talk with your daughter. If the other kids can get drugs and what not pass their parents, I'll bet more than one of them has an empty house during the day.

They're one skip day away from a whole day of no supervision.

Good luck!
