Civil Liberties Advice From Dr. Phil

• Check their bedrooms.
  Good places to look for drugs: under mattresses, under dressers, under cabinets, or even attached to the back of the drawers. Brandon's favorite place was in his closet, inside pockets of clothes and jeans he never wore
• Check your child's vehicle after a Friday or Saturday night.
  If they were smoking in their vehicle, you can usually smell a strange odor coming out of it. Check for small pieces of joints — green leaf-like particles or seeds on the floorboards or seats. Look for white pasty substances on CDs, CD cases, dashboards, pictures, or mirrors, that they might be doing drugs off of.
  
• Look through their pockets, purses, wallets and backpacks.
  Ask for permission, but if they're mad that you're looking through their stuff, it may be because they have something to hide.
• Give your kids a random drug test.
  Make sure it's after a weekend.
• Develop an open, strong and trusting relationship with your child, one without judgment.

That was the actual order they were in on Dr. Phil's website. I am not making that last one up.
