It was a beautiful new year as the Clintons were celebrating the success of a great year that just passed. They had just been promoted to an higher rank in the Police Division Force. They both had two children, a boy and a girl, 12 and 14 years of age. The children attended the best school in the country and state and this distinguishes them from the other children in the neighborhood. These children weren't allowed to play or mingle with other people except the friends they had from school.
Both children were only limited to having friends in the school which were of the same age as theirs. These children too also was of high classes and this made the Clintons to allow them come visiting their children and vice versa twice in a month.
With all these provisions given to these children, they were into drugs as they are locked up in their room with these hard substances they take. Both parents do not have time to check on them except they are ready to go to school and they bid a farewell till in the night. These children had become so addicted that they find it difficult to stop this habit.
"I am sorry Mr and Mrs Clinton, we have to withdraw these children as their acts had corrupted other children in the school and this is a bad image for the school itself".
This was said by the Principal of the school and they both looked each other in dismay. They couldn't believe what they heard and this made them become bitter in their hearts as they embarrassingly took them away. Mrs Clinton couldn't stop staring at the children from the mirror at the front where she was sitting while Mr Clinton focused on his driving.
How come this is happening under our roof? Asked Mrs Clinton, but her husband couldn't reply as he was already hurt. They already planned great things for this children but this stumbling block already ruined it.
As they got home, enquired from the children. They opened up and said they watched from Television how the drugs are taken and with that, they find ways of getting those drugs while they are not at home. They were so perplexed on hearing that. It is too late already but this stumbling block has to be removed for these children to have a brighter future.
It took many months to educate these children at home. Both parents took leave from their work to attend to their children as they were seen as their successors when they are gone.
The stumbling block was removed and the children got back to school and excelled greatly.
