Cleaner Found With Cocaine. What To Do?

[Jennykenny]

Friends found their cleaner had cocaine in her hold-all, (they opened it thinking it belonged to one of their children’s friends). They have fired her, but know that she works for other families with children. Should they inform them of the situation??

//Think I’ll suggest they take Spath’s advice, and suggest they ring the police.//
That's about the worst 'advice' I've ever heard in my many years on AnswerBank!!

The police have more important things to do than trying to find a person who had an untested/unidentified powder in their bags several days (?) ago....

Begs the question how the cleaner came by this suspected substance and where. seeing she had no business on the premises at times! :-(

[jackthehat]

*small bag of untested....etc.

"That's about the worst 'advice' I've ever heard in my many years on AnswerBank!"

That's a lovely opinion.. Thing about opinions though is they're not always correct.

[Peter Pedant]

um yeah I thought that as well Kh

they wont show any interest ( first offence ) at all ( no evidence)
and it is just a report....

and the police tend to go after the chain of command
we had a grow near us and no one cd get the police interested even tho it reeked outside ( 10m) - cannabis oil vapour will travel thro breeze block on standard principles

I personally think the Police being called is ridiculous overkill and verging on being a witch hunt. The spreading of malicious gossip is bad enough tbh. We had a bloke who we found living in our pool house once, we didn't even sack him, just asked whatever was the matter and why was he homeless?

[Theland]

Leave her alone.

[spathiphyllum]

That is very humanitarian Kval

The police just might be concerned over the spreading of malicious rumours. It just might have been a bag of kali with two liquorice straws.

10/10 kval

Tbh, I think it's just being a decent person Spath, he was a nice guy who had a bit of trouble and likewise this cleaner has already lost her job, surely that's enough?

Depends how many of these 'jobs' she has cocaine is at least £40 a gram...

Deffo cocaine then. Calls the police now with the overwhelming evidence.

[Jennykenny]

Okay.
Calling a halt to this. So many different opinions.
Yes, you’re probably correct that the police wouldn’t be interested.
Incidentally she is paid £12.00 an hour.

[SparklyKid]

The cleaner is probably well advised not to work for people who pry into her private belongings.

[kvalidir]

Not really no, there are thousands of high functioning users, should we interfere with them all?

[SparklyKid]

Wow and wow again. She is now a drug addict. Words fail me.

Friends found cocaine and fired her, I think the cleaner needs a solicitor to seek some form of compo.
