Cedar Rapids Iowa: Neighbors help rid their community of meth
July 4, 2009 by Meth Lab Homes
Neighbors in one Cedar Rapids, Iowa community are uniting to rid their neighborhood of meth and the violence and crime that comes along with it. Tips submitted by citizens can help police shut down meth labs, making communities safer for those who live there, including any children who may be living with parents or other adult caretakers who are addicted to meth.
Rid neighbors of meth labs,
I live in a small town in Iowa, recently several meth labs have been found. One of the homes, the wife works at a daycare with child everyday and when I spoke up about this, my ignorant small town community did not see my point. She claimed not to know anything about it and yet she was exposed to her husband on a daily basis who was making meth. How do I get my point across? How do I make it known what meth can do to others?

I sure hope that the man who was making meth was not doing it anywhere near the children in that daycare or in the home that she lives in. She may also be bringing meth in to work on her clothing, which may endanger the children that are under her care. I have heard that from a meth lab testing contractor, who is concerned about children being exposed to meth in schools, because of their exposure to classmates, who live in homes where meth is being used and/or cooked.
There are several things that you can do to help spread the word in your community. You might want to start with these:

Call, write, or email people at your local television stations and ask them to help you spread the word about the dangers and financial consequences of meth lab homes.
