DAMMAD, or "Dads and Moms Against Drug Dealers"  in partnership with the Tilton Police Department...

Steven Steiner, founder of DAMMAD explains his approach to combating drug use in OUR community -

On January 29th, 2001, I lost my 19-year-old son to an accidental drug overdose. There are no words to describe the pain of my loss. On that day, Dads and Mad Moms Against Drug Dealers was born. dammad is a grassroots anti-drug organization committed to helping in the fight against the drug problem in our communities, our workplaces and our schools.

The dammad program works in two ways:

1.) We pay rewards for tips about drug activity that lead to the arrest and conviction of drug dealers. Tips can be provided through the use of this site. All information will be kept anonymous, so your safety is ensured.

2.) We are committed to doing presentations to raise drug awareness throughout the country, reaching as many people as possible. Ours is a message of empowerment. We not only discuss with young people the dangers of drugs, we also give to them a tool they can use to stop drug activity in its tracks.

In environments where drugs are prevalent, fear is used to suppress action. Using our system, people can feel secure that any information they give us will be kept strictly anonymous. With the added benefit of a cash reward, we hope to give people the incentive to fight back against the drug activity that is destroying our families, friends and communities.

It's time the drug dealers began to look over their shoulders, began to fear leaving their homes. Every person they see on the street could now be the one that sends them to jail - without ever leaving their home, without ever giving their name. No violent conflicts, no retribution. Information is the weapon of the 21st century. Finally, our communities have a safe way to fight back.

It is through the tragic loss of my son that I have been compelled to take action. Though I was always a concerned parent, I now have a tremendous passion to take on the fight against drugs. I will not let my son's death be in vain. I am committed to turning my grief into action so that others will not have to endure the pain of loss that I must face each and every day. We can fight this plague and restore our communities to the families that live there. Together, we all can make a difference.
