Pontso Tumisi's experience with her daughter's drug use reveals a troubling trend: parents are often unaware of the drugs their children are using, mistakenly believing they are harmless items. The rise of dangerous practices like 'bluetoothing' poses additional risks, particularly concerning HIV and other diseases. In Lesotho, where poverty is widespread and drug use is escalating, organizations like Mokhosi oa Mangoana are working to educate parents on recognizing harmful substances. Many children use drugs that appear benign, resulting in parents remaining oblivious to their dangers.
Some parents unknowingly aid substance abuse as they buy items for their children thinking they are for educational use, without realizing their actual purpose.
Pontso Tumisi reflects on seeing crystal meth in her daughter's room, highlighting a significant gap in parents' knowledge about current drug trends and risks.
