I wish I’d known

When Daniel Spargo-Mabbs was 16, he went to a party and never came home. The party was an illegal rave and Daniel – bright, popular, big-hearted prom king Dan – died from a fatally strong overdose of MDMA. In the seven years since, the range of substances has become wider, the levels of exposure higher, and the threat to young people’s physical and mental health from drugs greater than ever before. Despite this, there is almost no guidance for parents to help their children navigate this perilous landscape and to stay safe. To come home at night. To grow up. This book is everything Fiona Spargo-Mabbs wishes she’d known, everything she wishes she had done, before she lost her son. Because however you parent, and whatever you do, at some point your child is likely to be in a situation where they have to make a decision about drugs.
