On Monday, January 31, the Emmy Award-winning syndicated series THE DOCTORS (check local listings) discusses dangerous fads that could be jeopardizing your child's health and safety.

In terrifying simulations, using Drive Square Systems technology, THE DOCTORS demonstrates the potentially lethal effects of driving while under the influence of marijuana, as well as the deadly consequences of texting behind the wheel.

"Every year, 10 million people get behind the wheel with drugs in their system," says Dr. Travis Stork.  "Any substance that affects your brain, affects your judgment."

THE DOCTORS offers valuable advice in what you need to know to keep your kids safe from such dangerous trends as setting your hair on fire, ingesting pet medications and even the newest self-mutilation techniques of "needling."
