1. Would you order Ashley to spend time in jail? Why or why not? 2. In your opinion, does jail time stop young people from using drugs again? Is jail the best way to deal with drug offenses? Why or why not?

3. Does Ashley need to be punished? Or does she just need help in overcoming her drug dependence? Or both?

4. Ashley's parents say that they are concerned about Ashley's welfare and will do anything to help her. Yet they say they're completely unaware of her heavy drug use. She loves her parents, but has little respect for them. She feels neglected by her mother, yet craves her attention. What changes in the parents' behavior would you like to see? How would you go about helping the family?

5. Ashley's own mother supposedly used drugs, and now Ashley is before the court on a drug charge. Should Ashley's mother be partly responsible for her daughter's behavior? If so, how? If not, why not?
