[quote=Anonymous][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]
I would like to understand how a parent has failed if their kid goes to school, someone at school gives them drugs, they use the drugs at school and then overdose at school.

As a parent you can do everything you can to keep your kids safe at home. But you have no control after you send them to school except to hope and prey that your kids are not influenced by others.

If MCPS did more to address the behavioral problems to keep bad kids away, a lot of this crisis would be avoided.

How many kids lives need to be sacrificed before bad kids are held accountable and removed from school settings?[/quote]

Bad kids… do you mean kids with behavior issues, or mental health challenges like anxiety,  or kids without parents paying attention??? Because these are all types of kids who engage in drugs.[/quote]
Violent kids who hit, bite and beat others on a regular basis. School MUST be safe.[/quote]
