Rich said the gym is not open every night for sports and the outdoor rink is outside of the community and it is often too cold to go there. The youth centre they have here is really disgusting. It's a hang-out place for the kids. So all they have is a pool table. Most started sniffing again soon after returning to their community.
Some youth say it's because their parents are still drinking.
Some parents say they started drinking again because their children sniff gas. I don't think a child should go alone for treatment. I think the parents should make that step too, because the kids are not going to stop if things are still the same in the home. Penunsi has tried treatment centres three times in Quebec, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia. I stayed there two months and 25 days.
