My Daughter has a best friend that is drinking and doing drugs..........should I tell her mom?
My 17 year daughter has a best friend since 2nd grade but moved away(out of state) after 5th grade. The girls have stayed close heck I have sent my kid there for 2 week with them.(she has come to stay with us also) It's like having another daughter and I'm really concerned. My daughter is worried that if I tell she will get the blame and the friendship will be over. So do I tell? The young lady in question knows I know and that I'm not not happy So I could use that I read my kids cell phone that's how I knew. Any good advice o how to handle this ? Thank you
the friend is also 17............and lives about 344 mi – about 5 hours 17 mins so it's not like she's right here. She just had my daughter crying last night cause she's worried about her best friend.

Is the other girl under 18? If she's over 18, there may not be much the mother can do. If she's under 18 and still living at home, there is more justification in letting her know.
I think I'd ask myself if the situation was reversed, would I want the girl's mom telling you. If the answer is yes, I'd approach the subject carefully and tell her just that...if the situation was reversed, you would want someone to tell you so that you could help your daughter.
If your daughter's friendship with this girl ends, it's better than the girl's life ending.

You should have a conversation with the girl's mother, and tell her that your daughter is worried about losing the friendship, but that you're concerned and want her to know what's going on. So ask the mom that she please not mention your conversation, but that she should investigate closely into her daughter's activities and "discover" what's going on. Once you give her the hint, she should be able to catch her daughter fairly easily without letting on that you were the one that clued her in. That way you can preserve the friendship. However, you must also be vigilant to make sure this girl is not doing drugs around your daughter\.

Ok so I'm not a mom or anything, but one day i told my mom that my best friend's boyfriend came over to her house without her knowing and my mom told her mom. I haven't really told her a lot now that i know i can't trust her that well. Also my best friend got heck of mad at me. So I hope that helped a little
