[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not public yet, but rumors are circulating at the school that this student also died at the hospital.

That would make for two deaths at Kennedy.

Is this it will take for Kennedy admin and MCPS to crack down on security? It’s sad it took loss of life for this to be paid attention to seriously.[/quote]

That’s tragic, and hopefully not true.

mCPS, the school and busy mostly also parents need to step up and crack down on their own kids. This is not just a failing for the school, but it’s a failing at home with the parents as well.

I recognize that we all parent differently, and one way is not the best or the only. But I think at some point parents need to go into their kids rooms and look through bags, drawers, and have very hard and open conversations with the kids about drug usage. [/quote]
It's not just kids. Laced drugs are everywhere, all neighborhoods, all ages, all SEC.[/quote]

I completely agree that it affects all ages, all SEC and it’s everywhere. It is a National, if not a world problem. But we need to start focusing on how we can help in our own local communities and it all starts at home. There are exceptions where there are children who are completely out of control, and their parents don’t have influence or their parents who do not care. I would venture to say the majority of the kids, if parented, will respond to it. We have to start somewhere we have to try the most basic and accessible techniques which are for parents to talk to their kids. then you need higher level things like the schools and security. I’m just blown away. There are two overdoses in one week in the same school. PCC had an overdose earlier and you have the weapon problem as well. [/quote]
