Jackie chan son's drug arrest

                   Jackie chan apologized to the public Wednesday over his son's detention on

drug charges in Beijing, saying he's ashamed and saddened.
                   
                  The Hong Kong film star wrote on his microblog that Jaycee Chan would

have to face the consequences of his actions, but that they would do so together."

                   Regarding this issue with my son Jaycee, I feel very angry and very shocked.

As a public figure, I'm very ashamed. As a father, I'm heartbroken," Chan wrote.

                  Jaycee Chan, 31, and Taiwanese movie star Kai Ko, 23, were detained last

Thursday, becoming the latest high-profile celebrities to be ensnared in one of China's

biggest anti-drug crackdowns in two decades.

                   Police said both actors tested positive for marijuana and admitted using the

drug, and that 100 grams (3.53 ounces) of it were taken from Chan's home."Jaycee and I

together express our deep apology to society and the public,"
   
                   Chan wrote.Local media reported that the elder Chan and Ko's father traveled to

Beijing to meet with their sons this week. The reports could not be immediately

confirmed.Extending from his fame as an actor and singer, the elder Chan is a high-profile

public figure in mainland China and was named by Beijing as an anti-drug ambassador in 2009."

                   I hope all young people will learn a lesson from Jaycee and stay far from the

harm of drugs," Chan wrote. "I say to Jaycee that you have to accept the consequences

when you do something wrong. As your father, I'm going to face the road together with

you."Ko was part of an anti-drug campaign two years ago in which he appeared in a public

service announcement declaring: "I don't use drugs." Chinese state broadcaster CCTV

showed him weeping and apologizing for setting a poor example and making "a big mistake."     more >>
