16-Year-Old Nearly Dies Of Fentanyl Overdose As Drug Crisis Hits Middle, High Schools
The drug crisis stemming from the flood of illegal drugs over the U.S.-Mexico border has reached America’s middle and high schools thousands of miles from the border.
Earlier this month, a 16-year-old at Bloomfield High School in Bloomfield, Connecticut, nearly died due to a fentanyl overdose after smoking marijuana he didn’t know had been laced with the deadly drug. As Real Clear Politics reported, “Police rushed to the school nurse’s office and administered two doses of Narcan just in time to save him.”
At the time, Gov. Ned Lamont (D-CT) asked “How did this happen? How is there more fentanyl on the streets than ever before?”
RCP noted that Hidalgo County, Texas, Sheriff J.E. Guerra explained that “The drugs go further north.”
The Daily Wire reported in January that a 13-year-old in Connecticut also died of a fentanyl overdose after spending days in the hospital. – READ MORE
