This popped up on Reddit and someone in the comments said they always kept their stash in their parents closet since they would never search there. Just like you said kids get smart. Also I love to imagine a kid taking some control back and filling their room with elaborate fake containers with nothing in them just to waste their parents time.
I started experimenting with drugs when I was way too young. My parents took the punitive cop approach and it did nothing but make me angry and push me away. It also did not save me from addiction as an adult.
Haha. I did the same thing but my parents took a “hands off” approach and never confronted me about it, they even helped me buy alcohol sometimes. And that also did not save me from addiction as an adult. Seems that the causes of addiction are more complex than just parental punitive/enabling attitudes towards substances. It is so much deeper than that. If you didn’t grow up and develop into a person who enjoys their life? And if you don’t feel content in your own mind? You’re vulnerable to addiction, and parents can’t control anything at that point because its too late.
"Best way to prevent adult addiction is to intervene early when they're young" - Yeah, mommy and daddy who don't trust You and have no boundaries are a great way to raise a kid who is emotionally stable and won't try to cope by using drugs. As someone who has had their stuff searched by a bf (who also threw some stuff out he didn't like), it leaves a scar. You stop feeling human. Just don't ever do this to Your kids, it will f them up. Thanks for the video, Kelgore!
With the amount of containers this kid has it feels more like they just have a passion for hidden compartments. They probably don't want to be alive because their cop dad keeps assuming they are into drugs after they decided to be honest and share their secret compartment hobby.
this is the cleanest most unchildlike room I have ever seen, what kid has an armchair in their bed room?? And what kid has the money to buy these elaborate secret containers???
If your kid has that much drug paraphernalia in their room, they are trying to cope with your abuse/neglect. Kids with stable loving parents don't typically turn to drugs.
You're not talking about bud though right? Got........ A LOT of that in there lolz. And I don't consider myself all that abused by my parents. Sure they are fucking idiots but I never felt like the wronged me on a massive level lol. They are just dumb af boomer trash that's all...
If it gets to this point you've already failed as a parent. If you invest your time and attention into the relationship with your child, they will be open with you voluntarily. Respect is a two way street. If your child is lying and making poor choices, rearrange their life to direct them to a better situation. Turning out your child's room for contraband like your house is a federal prison only teaches your child to behave like an inmate.
I kept thinking about how in the US we think stuff in other countries is “dystopian” or “authoritarian” but meanwhile we have cops teaching parents how to search their kids property.
@@Kelgore This is how the Evangelical half of the country think. They are driven by the fear of eternal damnation. Fear is the impulse that drives authoritarianism. The sad thing is that by driving "the devil" out of their children, they are leaving them emotionally stunted and socially inept.
The cop never once stated, but ya know maybe try and form a loving relationship with your kids so they feel enabled to come to you with any issues? I know that's extreme but it works.
@@Kelgore i was more thinking about 5 handguns shoved barrel first into a planter, so many large rifles that the matress lays crooked, oh and maybe a pocket nuke. i dunno, youre the comedic brain of the operation
as somebody who had their shit gone through, it makes us territorial and paranoid. its abuse. it should be illegal. i hide things still and i live alone. oh wow, do the search while theyre at school? i would run away. thats suibait.
This is the most vile, nauseating thing I've seen in a while. Guess I'm not surprised to see cops promoting abusive, controlling behavior on TikTok, though.
I mean, *sure,* every teenager has *drugs, vapes, and suicidal pictures* hidden in their rooms… That’s just a crazy dude right there. Then he goes on to say to _respect their privacy._ He’s quite a hippocrit.
I love how he's super casual haha. "It appears we have found the Necronomicon under his bed and I'm now finding myself in a evil dimension filled with blood sucking monsters chasing after me, welp, Gunna have to have a talk with the young man over this..."
Him: “Search it ever 6mo” Me: *laughs in adult adhd* NOTHING is routine for me and checking my kids shit for zero reason certainly won’t be any different 😂
Probably one of the most disturbing things I've seen. What the actual f**k? This is definitely a great way to form a healthy relationship with your son or daughter, isn't it? As in no f***king way EVER!!!
As a current resident of Orange County, this video is extremely on-brand. Although I couldn’t tell if the man-child was wearing DC skate shoes, which would have been bonus authenticity points. But for reals, I think there’s some nuance in this whole issue. If a parent is really concerned about their child, wouldn’t searching their room seem like a normal reaction? On the other hand, it really is a good way to make your child mistrust and resent you as a parent to be consistently violating their space. Argg, alt-middle perspectives are so frustrating.
My mom was trained like this, she accused me of using cocaine when I was in the 3rd grade. After that all I wanted to do is try cocaine. As a teenager, I also learned to hide my drugs in the city divider wall off the property behind my house so that my parents wouldnt find them. I learned that opening up about my emotional problems would result in trouble. I eventually became a heroin addict as an adult and my room was searched constantly as a kid. It took me until I was 33 to get clean and get honest about my mental health problems and move on with my life.
He as to find something to show as examples. This is to train parents how to look through the stuff. The problem is most parents have no clue their kid is on the edge of death until they are called by the morgue
Probably because they never bothered to form a real relationship with them. To the point where the child feels enabled and encouraged to go to their parents about serious issues in their lives.
I feel like, searching your kids room should be the LAST resort. Like only if you’re really concerned. For example if you think your kid is suicidal and won’t talk to you, look through there room and see if you find a suicide note or anything they could use to hurt themselves; then maybe this might be necessary.
“There’s no legal problem” There is a moral problem tho Try this thing called trust and communication My mom let us know at age 13 we could call her if we felt like we got ourselves into any unsafe situation such as drug use or drinking too much and she’d come get us without punishment n stuff bc *she put our safety over punishment for our choices* That’s what being a good parent is She did drop the ball on my self h^rm and su*c*dal thoughts tho unfortunately but still good on her for the influence thing
If your a parent and u do this to ur kid This will make him or her hate your guts for the rest of your life. And if your a kid and u have parents that search your room like a cop every chance they get, this will be ur time to get a job, save some money and move out as early as u can
Don’t trust Suicidal Helpline. I would rather be watching and making sure my kids are fine than using the police to punish them. They could have at least send the nurse to come.
I love when the cops tell you to "take advantage" of it being legal to search your kids room. Really makes you understand how they see the law.
Middle class parents would rather cosplay as police twice a year than... talk to their kids.
sooo true. like even in this fictional universe did you see how much the “teen” hated the dad?

holy crap that is so funny. absolutely god tier prank
lmao the kids are alright
That is genius! And if it gets found, the parents blame each other, and the kid gets off Scott free!
Legit, I always hid mine in bathroom products or inside pillows / cushions with zippers
I was literally just about to comment this. Hide it in your parents' room lmfao
I taught my hypothetical child to share, so there’s no way they would not smoke that weed without me.
that’s right
The large son's diary is the best part of this whole thing. Just 20 pages in a floral cover.
it’s both the funniest and darkest part of the video 😃
Don't forget about the Pot Doodles on a page that says "Doodles" at the top in bubble letters. That's something teens do, right?
@@jenniferpirrone8035 absolutely, big warning sign
i’m obsessed w fake rooms made for PSAs like this… the boomer energy. like what child buys a specific drug hiding magician’s close up magic bottle???
lmao the kids are straight up doing ILLUSIONS

thanks for watching! yeah this whole thing is just so scary & bad. can’t believe it’s commonplace enough for cops to be tweeting about.
EXACTLY!
I'm really sorry to hear about how you were treated pls don't forget you are a valid person

All I learned from this video is that I can buy a fake highlighter online. Thanks buddy
If I were a teen and my parent did this, I would use the fake containers to hide random mundane things to annoy my parents and waste their time.
this is the cleanest most unchildlike room I have ever seen, what kid has an armchair in their bed room?? And what kid has the money to buy these elaborate secret containers???
From selling drugs, duhhh. And we know that's what they're up to bc they have a small scale in their room. /s
This bedroom is like if an AI watched 90 hours of "War On Drugs" propaganda and then designed a teen room.
If your kid has that much drug paraphernalia in their room, they are trying to cope with your abuse/neglect. Kids with stable loving parents don't typically turn to drugs.

i think this "instructional video" is ripe for parody, the same thing but with an absurd amount of guns. and an actual 11 year old child.
lmao that would be amazing. just one elaboraty hidden weapon after the next
@@Kelgore i was more thinking about 5 handguns shoved barrel first into a planter, so many large rifles that the matress lays crooked, oh and maybe a pocket nuke. i dunno, youre the comedic brain of the operation
@@kv4302 and then they never once suggest mental health help just say you need to beat the child
Privacy violations aside, that is a hideously decorated room. Why is there a kitchen chair in the corner
guess cops don’t have taste 😂
@@Kelgore they really don't. Otherwise they wouldn't be cops
the delivery of “one, warm budweiser” KILLED me
Suffered from too much abuse as a child to watch this but I know you’re on my side and that this video fucking rules! Love ya Kelgore
thank you, promise the next one won’t be like this!!
@@Kelgore I think this work is so important and thank you for doing it! I am sensitive baby

Geez, my childhood tactic of hiding stuff under papers in drawers wouldn't stand a chance against this kind of investigation 🤣🤣🤣
I mean, *sure,* every teenager has *drugs, vapes, and suicidal pictures* hidden in their rooms…
That’s just a crazy dude right there.
Then he goes on to say to _respect their privacy._ He’s quite a hippocrit.
When I was a kid my dad gave me weed, and I discovered that I dont really like weed lol
incredible
Same. Discovered I like it so much that I do it every day and a lot of it every day lolz.
Yeah the kid is just gonna start taking drugs somewhere else instead of the safety of their home. Problem solved I guess.
The original video just made me want to buy containers to hide my mundane crap in plain sight.
just keeping my recipes in a fake toaster oven
it's "educational videos" like this one that lead to hilarious memes whenever someone's ill-informed mother flips out about breath mints.
the idea of them drawing up that journal page lmaooo
I love how he's super casual haha.
"It appears we have found the Necronomicon under his bed and I'm now finding myself in a evil dimension filled with blood sucking monsters chasing after me, welp, Gunna have to have a talk with the young man over this..."
yeah i basically used my journal to threaten and intimidate my step mom cuz i knew she wouldn't respect my privacy.
“Be respectful of their property” rummages through it, unfolding clothes/throwing them around, not putting anything back
Resourceful kid.
Maybe Sgt. Stadenko should just relax? Unlike him, the kid has a chance of making something of himself.
I will definitely trust, that I can talk to you, after you invaded my private space. Thx mommy. Thx OCPD. What/where would I be without you!?
Toilet paper roll and laundry sheets?
true haha
@@Kelgore he didn’t seem to any have clue about it.
legal doesn’t equal ethical 😟
That video should be a lesson in “how to push your kids away so that when they turn 18 they’ll go no contact with their shitty parents”
ah literally love this series sm!
12:03 that one hurt
Ahahaha, the whole video I was like, what is it going to be?
In every case I've seen of strict parents searching their kids stuff ended up with drug addicted kids mostly due to terrible parents
I hate cops like this dude, really makes it easy to overlook the good ones
Me having a scale in my room for weighing my geckos:😨
Him: “Search it ever 6mo”
Me: *laughs in adult adhd*
NOTHING is routine for me and checking my kids shit for zero reason certainly won’t be any different 😂
Just as in every media involving teenagers; the actor portraying the teen is 37 years old.
Probably one of the most disturbing things I've seen. What the actual f**k? This is definitely a great way to form a healthy relationship with your son or daughter, isn't it? As in no f***king way EVER!!!
Him inspecting the mattress made me remember a boy I knew who .... copulated with his mattress. What if you find that???
Actually there was a weapon in the room…it was strapped to his waist so that says it all 😂😂

@@Kelgore yep they laugh too until they get the bill for the funeral.
Probably because they never bothered to form a real relationship with them. To the point where the child feels enabled and encouraged to go to their parents about serious issues in their lives.
I am too angry about this to not make a video about it.
do it
Do most kids rooms look all neat,today and clean like this room?
"suicide isn't funny"
*Sure it is*
I feel like, searching your kids room should be the LAST resort. Like only if you’re really concerned. For example if you think your kid is suicidal and won’t talk to you, look through there room and see if you find a suicide note or anything they could use to hurt themselves; then maybe this might be necessary.
This looks like a video Channing and Jonah would watch for cop training in 21 Jump Street 😭
Cop and Kelgore: yeah having tp in the bedroom is weird and unusual
Me cuddling a roll of toilet paper bc I have a stuffy nose watching this: 🤧🧍🏼
“There’s no legal problem”
There is a moral problem tho
Try this thing called trust and communication
My mom let us know at age 13 we could call her if we felt like we got ourselves into any unsafe situation such as drug use or drinking too much and she’d come get us without punishment n stuff bc *she put our safety over punishment for our choices*
That’s what being a good parent is
She did drop the ball on my self h^rm and su*c*dal thoughts tho unfortunately but still good on her for the influence thing
You'd be surprised how many teenager's rooms have scales in them. Especially in Florida 😂
This room is so empty
If your a parent and u do this to ur kid This will make him or her hate your guts for the rest of your life. And if your a kid and u have parents that search your room like a cop every chance they get, this will be ur time to get a job, save some money and move out as early as u can

Really craving warm budweiser now.
Great video
Thanks!
This cop would work well in North Korea. Considering privacy is non-existent.
Two cops watched this video.haha
Only good thing: cop uses they them pronouns. Huh.
They ain’t findin shit lol
Yeah this dude is a cop and not a parent, and not a good cop
Don’t trust Suicidal Helpline. I would rather be watching and making sure my kids are fine than using the police to punish them. They could have at least send the nurse to come.
Tbh I've known 14- year old secret alcoholics in my country, Finland. One of them almost died because her mother didn't search her room properly.
She could've found out by just talking and forming an actual relationship with her child, I know that's pretty extreme but it works.
There's also a difference between willy-nilly violating your child's privacy and acting on a reasonable suspicion
I know what the toilet paper is for 💦💦
I would never trust my folks again if they did some shit like this
