Can You Secretly Drug Test Someone?

I suspect my mom is doing drugs and she will not admit to anything. Is there anyway to drug test someone without them knowing. THis is a very serious matter for my sister and I.

Thank you

    Just call the police & say she is under the substance of a minor. I hope you have a place to live or another parent to watch over you.

    I am not sure of any way to really do this. I know one way they administrate a drug test is by a mouth swab.Maybe if you can trick her somehow into swabing her mouth with a Q-tip and bring that swab somewhere (maybe a doctor) they may be able to do that for you. This is only an idea this may not acctually work.

    At least give your mother the respect of discussing the situation with her before involving others. If you feel she needs drug testing talk to your school counselor. They will pick it up from there.

    Take several of her hairs from a brush only she uses, get it tested. However, be careful about who you talk to about this; you and your sister could wind up in foster home that is way worse than your current situation. Good Luck to you and your sis., God bless you.

    There are kits that use hair to test. If you can get some hair from a brush with the route attached...you can secretly test.

    Yes. You can buy drug test strips online. Place her saliva on it (use your imagination on how to get it - sorry - have no ideas right now). If the color changes to green/blue - she's either drugged or drunk.

    no, but if you are truly concerned there are resources that can help you manage, your mother if she is on drugs won't get help for herself until she hits rock bottom. you have to choose your battles if she is mentally and physically abusive, then you need to get help, be prepared for possibly being put into a foster home if there are no other relatives to take you in.

    if she isn't abusive, a lot of people self medicate, so if she isn't harming you and your sister does it really matter if she is self medicating?

    I guess you could somehow get some urine from the toilet if she forgets to flush.
