Principal tips off target of drug investigation

As a mother, I find this story disturbing. Not because the principal alerted a 16 year old girl's mother that she was about to be busted for trafficking drugs - I think it was humane gesture to prevent her arrest - but because of this:

According to the affidavit, the girl told investigators she had carried about 10 kilograms of marijuana on the bus almost daily and for each delivery received $1,000 to $2,000 that she split with Jarosz.

That's over 20 pounds of pot. How on earth do teenagers get access to that quantity? Adults were clearly involved in this apparently major operation and when even cops are corrupted by that kind of easy money, how we expect a kid whose only other option is a minimum wage job as a clerk of some sort, not to be?

If we ended prohibition they wouldn't be able to turn our children into drug mules.
