just damn
you say the stepson lives in another town? I take it the step-daughter and the other kids live in your town? him living in another town doesn't mean much, he could still talk about it and he or someone else could dime you out to the cops. and of course the local kids will talk too. the secret is out and you will have to clean up and lay low for quite a while to feel safe again
do you have a trusted friend who can take the plants and complete the grow?
glad I'm not in that situation (knock wood)
