Dang. As a Kennedy parent, I did not know about this case from 1998. Yikes: https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/local/daily/feb99/needle041998.htm |
She might've been at one of the many DC privates. I heard they're really popular these days. |
That's not true at the school where I work. I think you must be talking about one of the bad schools. |
Mine says the same thing, and there's no reason they'd make this up since we're fine with it either way. Not every school is that crazy. I think it's the far-right astroturfers up to their usual fear-mongering. |
Yay!! |
Which schools are the ‘bad schools’? Where do you work? |
Well, posters on this threads and other threads in the past have specified which schools their kids attend when talking about weed and vaping in the high schools. But not a single person is willing to name their middle school or high school that does NOT have drugs/vaping. I think it’s those posters who are up to their usual lies. But feel free to post which MCPS high school your kid attends that does not have kids smoking weed or vaping. We’d love to know where this isn’t an issue! |
Maybe it would help if posters told us which schools have drugs and vaping. People posting this stuff anonymously without naming the school isn't all that credible to me either. When our kids started HS, we told them to expect it because of the claims here, but turns out that exaggerated. They say they smell weed on the street here way more and have rarely encounter vaping. |
Exactly. They're disingenuous trolls. |
Every school, even the elite W schools is dealing with drug issues.

So stop the lies. |
An absolute shocker. Can't imagine why..... truly a mystery |
DP. And private schools. Schools have drug issues. They have for decades. My public high school had kids smoking in the bathroom. My husband's fancy private school had kids doing coke in their bathrooms. |
Kennedy HS had one student death (at home) and at least 2 od's. My 10th grade neighbor who goes there doesn't use the bathrooms at school because girls are in there using drugs. There is a thing they're doing lately.. purging? sounds like per ging, not making oneself puke. They put a drug on foil, heat it from underneath and inhale the vapors. My neighbor says it can be smelled in the hallway outside the bathrooms. |
It is possible that she moved here at 17 or 18 and wasn’t enrolled in MCPS at any point. This happens more often than you might think. Mid to late teen kids run away or are kicked out, they move to a new county and don’t enroll in school. It is especially the case for girls who might be living with an older male or being trafficked. |
It made the news in October. She presumably went missing in May when she was murdered, but where was the coverage? Go check out the MoCo police social media to see how many missing Latina teens there are every week. |
