Love Thy Neighbor

We have a contentious relationship with our neighbor.  The history of it is too long and really doesn't even matter.  Edward's issues with drugs was too much and rightly so.  She is raising her grandson because her daughter has mental as well as physical health problems.  I wouldn't want a disrespectful, drug using teenager around my kid either. 
We had taken a trip to visit John's parents with Ashley...just a day trip.  On the way back, we get a call from our neighbor that our son is out back smoking a crack pipe.  John tells her to call the police, but she doesn't. When we get home, we search Edward's room and the only thing we find is an unbent paper clip.  John knows these are used to help clean out marijuana pipes, so we decide that the next day we are going to drug test him in the morning.
John took Ashley to church and I stayed home with Edward so I could catch him when he first woke up and get a urine sample.  Sydney was done with IOP and part of being released was having a home contract and continuing to drug test your kid.  I had handled more urine than I ever thought I would and we were stocked with 6 panels that test for all kinds of stuff.  Sure enough, Edward tested positive for pot.
