NEW YORK (WABC) -- Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio's 19 year old daughter, Chiara, is admitting she has been battling depression and substance abuse.


She made the admission in a video posted on Christmas Eve.

Bill and Chirlane de Blasio released the following statement: As parents, our instinct has been to protect our daughter and privately help her through a deeply personal struggle. But not only has Chiara committed to her own health, she is also committed to helping young people everywhere who face similar challenges.

Her courage to speak out demonstrates a wisdom and maturity far beyond her 19 years, and we are grateful every day for her commitment to lifting up those who need to know that they are not alone.

--

I pray and hope she gets the help she needs; there are many teens like her in the city that are battling depression and substance abuse

Good she's helping herself. I bet if she hadn't admitted it, someone else would've made sure to spill her business.

Interesting there's nothing saying she's receiving treatment for it. This seems like she did this to beat someone else to the punch.

:yes:
I have a feeling someone was going to spill it, but the family decided to do it 1st. I'm glad she is getting help.

I'm surprised "they" didn't use this during the campaign "bill de blasio's BLACK drug addicted daughter runs rampant around the city!!!!!"

"BIll Deblasio can't help HIS BLACK CRACK ADDICTED daughter, what makes you think he can help OUR city"

The headlines could have been epic.

I just want Bill to legalize that herb!, lower cab and MTa rates and get rid of those damn citibikes and the bike lanes!

It's not gonna happen. He has already put a Stop and Frisk supporter on his payroll. He's part of the elite. Besides, marijuana is a huge cash cow for law enforcement agencies. The NYPD is a corporation afterall.

People, stop falling for these political elitists. They're in the interest of the the establishment, not the common man.

well at least she admitted and wants help

There are daughters/son of politicians who go under the radar and you don't find out until they are on the news getting arrested.

false equivalence.

There's no known record of her running in and out of jail, unlike Jeb's daughter.

DiBlasio didn't sign any laws trying to push drug offender into prison instead of treatment.

When did Jeb sign laws to send drug offenders to prison?

I got news for you. That whole FAMILY was running afoul of the law, not just Noelle his daughter.

Jeb's wife was caught smuggling/stealing on a cruse ship as I recall, the daughter Noelle was a drug addict. One son was harassing a woman with a 2 ton car and was taken in for it, the other one was running nude somewhere sex!ng a teen aged girl and he was also a druggie arrested for his hideous behavior, and the reason people mentioned Jeb Bush's family was that Jeb was SUCH a staunch Catholic and LAW and ORDER "studman" Governor down there in Florida. YET, his OWN family was running afoul of the LAW in many instances. That's how MOST GOP folks roll. Here in California, wide foot and wide jawed philandering Gov. fµck up Ahnold went on and on about men who didn't support their kids and who had kids out of wedlock, yet HE had an affair with and got his Hispanic Maid preggars with THEIR son right around the SAME time Maria gave birth to their child. USUALLY right-wingers are the ones who CRY about other people's lack of morals, yet when the sun is shined on THEIR morality it's THEIR behavior & morals which are nasty and immoral.

THEY can break the law, but let it be anybody else have issues.

When did Jeb sign laws to send drug offenders to prison?
Advocates of reforming Florida's drug laws say it is understandable that Gov. Jeb Bush (R) is asking for compassion and privacy for his daughter, arrested this week on prescription fraud charges. But they also think he should reconsider his tough "drug warrior" approach to the state's other nonviolent drug offenders."The question is, are you going to treat other kids in trouble the way you'd want your kid treated?

That is where people in Florida have fallen short, with the drug policy there -- they're all willing to be tough and hard and lock everybody up," said Ethan Nadelmann, executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance, a national organization working for drug law reform.
Bush's middle child and only daughter, Noelle, 24, was arrested Tuesday in Tallahassee on charges of impersonating a doctor as she tried to fill a fake prescription for Xanax, a popular anti-anxiety drug. The Bush family released a statement acknowledging that Noelle has a "serious" substance abuse problem. They asked "the public and the media to respect our family's privacy during this difficult time so that we can help our daughter."
During his three years in office, however, Bush has cut drug treatment and drug court budgets, Nadelmann said, while also attacking a ballot initiative that will likely go to voters in November to provide treatment to an estimated 10,000 nonviolent offenders in Florida each year who otherwise would be incarcerated.
During a brief news conference today, Bush said that his daughter's arrest will not affect his drug policies. Although he admitted some budget cuts were necessary because of a shortfall due to costs incurred after the Sept. 11 attacks, he stressed that "we've made a long-term commitment long ago for long-term strategies to increase drug treatment and increase prevention, and we've done just that."
David Rasmussen, an economics professor at Florida State University who studies drug policies, characterized Florida's stance toward drug treatment as "a drug warrior policy, criminalizing drugs and probably incarcerating too many people."
He said admissions of drug offenders to the state prison system rose nearly 19 percent between 1998 and 1999, and 13 percent the following year.
The proposed ballot initiative that Nadelmann's group supports would require judges to grant treatment to first-time and second-time offenders charged with simple possession of drugs or drug paraphernalia. But Bush has opposed the proposal, saying that "to suggest there should be no penalties for continued drug use is to stick our heads in the sand."
Nadelmann said Florida officials are putting out a message "that people need to get arrested before they get drug treatment. We're saying, don't have a double standard here -- the Bushes want to treat this as a private family matter and well they should, but other people should have the opportunity, too."

Okay

And DeBlasio hired a S&F proponent to police commissioner.

It's called politics.
