PHUKET: Checkpoints across all three Phuket districts last night targetted people under 18 and a total of 121 teenagers tested positive for drugs.
The young riders or pilion passengers were all made to take tests in Kathu, Thaland and Muang (Phuket City) districts.
There's increasing concern across Phuket at the potential social problems that arise when youngsters do not have sufficient parental control.
Those who were apprehended last night will have to undergo courses at Phuket rehab centres as a result.
Authorities on Phuket are taking a proactive approach in an effort to prevent needless criminal activity.

The lack of parental guidance and discipline is painfully obvious but considering how little regard to the laws and rules there is among the adult population, it's little wonder the young adapt a similar attitude.
When you see that even police officers break the law, how can you possibly expect the youth to be any different.
Lead by example.
