We all loved her as Laura Ingalls on the beloved television series Little House on the Prairie. Now, Melissa Gilbert is all grown up and speaking out against a cause close to her heart: teen alcohol and drug prevention. "I know from personal experience the importance of educating parents about the dangers of teen substance abuse," the mom-of-four tells Celebrity Baby Scoop.
Melissa, 47, sat down with Celebrity Baby Scoop and opened up about the "staggering" statistics facing our teens and her best advice for concerned parents: "I truly believe that empowering parents is the first step in preventing the disease of addiction from ruining families," she said. The actress also talked about her four sons - Dakota, 31, Michael, 26, Sam, 22, and Lee, 16 - whom she'd "rather hang out with more than anyone in the world." Read on about Melissa's mission to empower parents with DrugFree.org, and hear about her upcoming Christmas movie.
