New Kit Allows Parents to Drug Test Kids
Last week, The New York Post reported on a home drug test that is being introduced by a San Diego-based company called Confirm Biosciences. The kit, which sells for $89.99, helps parents collect a hair sample from their children; the sample is then sent to a lab for analysis in a pre-paid overnight FedEx envelope. The test can reveal any type of drug use within the past 90 days, including prescription pills and liquids. Parents receive reports that rate their kids as "non-users," "recreational users," "daily/weekend users," or "constant users." (Source: www.nypost.com)
