boys 13 16. Sabrina, if we were
to hide illegal drugs inside
your children’s bedrooms, you
think you can find them?
Of course. What if we’re to
camouflage them so to speak,
put them in secret hiding
spaces, then what do you think?
I’m not so sure we’re going to
find out right now.
Right away. I begin hiding
drugs all over the boys,
bedrooms and bathrooms.
>> Well, this is a good one.
Looks like a tiny pack of
Kleenex, but we look at this.
I didn’t spot. For pills.
But this comment cleanser hike

defined the this is brand-new.
And even though she picks it up
and looks at it, she misses
this metal water bottle stash.
Looks like a cheap battery.

including this hair brush with
the rest of the hair brushes.
We have this all which was

In the bottom?
Stu, sneaky Little Devils.
Look at that. I would never
look at that comment.

your kids are hiding drugs.

good idea of the types of items
kids are using to.

important thing to remember.
If you’re going to search your
teenager’s room for their
secret stash addiction experts
say start by looking for the
items that look completely out
of place and they’re a bottle
of water or soda that your
child would never drink a girl
shampoo or a girl’s hair brush
in your boy’s bedroom. Can a
bathroom cleaner when your kids
never clean anything, go.

you a bunch of them in this
story. But to see all of them,
just Google secret stash
devices, kids hiding devices
to hide illegal Google that.
And this I mean, in the in the

never ending of all these
different devices and you’ll

look for it, right? This is
interesting and they’re cheap.
The the most. The scariest part
is they’re cheap to buy so they
can all buy these things.
And we’re watching these
mothers. You know, these are
these are great moms and one
out of 10, they find one out of
10 or 4 out of 10 in a given
room. So maybe another point
is.

moms, I’m Brett said that exact
thing to me. She said, my God,
