#NBCNews #Connecticut #Fentanyl
first time I ever smoked weed was inside my old high school. was innocent until that day smh. how times have changed!
yawn
Facts for me was last day of middle skool 8th grade👨🎓
@Max Percer SMD
He knew they act like they kids don’t do drugs
Three large bags holyshit
They are coming for the children
This is deliberly sent in kids bookbags too get kids hooked on hard drugs drugs period and its why customs must be set up by troopers inside these educational facilites period grade high schools jr high and colleges
It is very important to teach our children this is killing people. I’ve had this talk. Someone is selling drug in that school.
Hard to believe every school DOESN’T have Narcan nowadays. Cool thing about it – in addition to stopping an OD – is that if it’s NOT an opioid OD, it won’t hurt you. Where I work every client has it – Drs. usually prescribe it along with opiates.
This came frtom someones house put into the bookbags and whether mistakingly taking the wrong bookbag its still the cause of whom wrapped those deadly hard drugs into the bag .It sad but note where they bag came from what child had it clearly speaks whats being done.
Good job zendaya, this is your fault
Crack cocaine and methamphetamines and heroin it ain’t s*** compared to fentanyl.
Thank you joe biden! ✊🏿 blm ✊🏾
Why do people still think schools are safe?
There are minimal safety measures in place but that’s about it.
People are condition to believe all fent deaths are people who are addicts ,or people who take is by their own free will. Go ahead be that fish that floats downstream…
Oh wow what a surprise. A democrat city having problems with a drug flowing through an open border, run by democrats. GOOD JOB!
Going to get a lot worse with all the fentanyl the cartels are smuggling into the country. Cartels control the US border. OD’s ate at a all time high. ~Bidens America
I’m sorry for this family’s loss.
My question:
How did that much of an illegal, deadly drug get into the school?
It makes me Sad and Angry, that our government cares so little for it’s Citizens and cares so much about making themselves rich.
Close The Borders and Start Mass Deportation
NOW.
But what happens when the drug dealers are American? Where are we deporting them too? LOL
@Mikey Croker Deport them too! I’m sure they can find a job with the local car-tel. 😂
R.I.P love and prayers for you and your loved ones 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank your God, for he made all things good and bad.. Including this drug! Surely your following the wrong God!
CONTINUE ONLINE education
work and study safely home
So sad
Chinas fault
Our country is soft and weak on bad guys…
Shocking for the families. How did it get in the school?
Thanks Biden! Pos!
Bring back prayers to schools
Who ever invented this Fentanyl will have their day when they meet the Lord for all the souls that were killed by this crap !!!!!!!!!!!!! Being an EX addict myself……. My heart goes out to all the Familys…
It is used to treat pain for surgery. It was invented to help humans, not the other way around. It is terrifying for many terminally ill to pass away without opioids, especially cancer patients. Opioids bring more good in medicine than bad outside of it.
Wow so so sad my best friend lost her brother to the same thing he went on a trip to Florida got a hold to the wrong thing and now he to loss his life to this Fetynol drug its a horrible thing 😢
Just say no Narcan !
I do not understand how fentanyl can go around. Do we consider recreational drug use as dangerous as say, pesticide, rat poison or herbicide in the schools? An exterminator sprayed an outdoor pesticide in a hotel room in the Caribbean. A family died. They tracked down the person and the company was prosecuted. It made headlines. Seems a half-hearted, oh ‘people-want-to-get-high’. Locally, the drug dealer was found who sold the drugs, and he is being charged with murder.
Wow the parents wonder how the drug got in to the school….maybe it’s because the border is wide open and the cartels are walking it across the border
So sad and unfortunate. Saved this video to share and discuss with my youngest son… he’s 13 😕
Thank you, mama! It’s terrifying what’s out there.. I pray your son listens well to you. God bless you and your family. ❤️✌️🙏 Your comment should be pinned! 👏👏👏
School a safe place? Since when?
I hope the cameras were on and fonctional too.
Humanity is at code red beware you ain’t seen nothing yet . 🌍
💔 oh my God where did this drug come from our kids are not even safe in school this is absolutely heart breaking 💔 😢 I’m really sad for this kid and his family I hope they find out who brought it there and deal with them to the fullest extent of the law !!
Thank your God, for he made all things good and bad
Those kids are pretty hard-core. We smoked cigarettes maybe some booze. Not heroin
Results of zero boarder control!!
Prayers for the family, this is sad. If guns aren’t killing, now fentanyl is part of the demise in schools! People, God and prayer were removed giving the devil and his demons free will. Perilous Times are here and things will get worse. Wake up, repent, pray and turn to God.
China is flooding our streets with Fentanyl as well as Covid-19. Yet our news media protects them because China owns them. Stop believing their concern and sincerity.
Where are his parents?
Mexican pills
Talk about higher education
They need Narcan on hand no excuses. Everyone should know to admisters this first when someone is unconscious.
Idk why they think drinkin this mexican poison is cool smh….
White people lol
All I here is talking 2021-2022 has become the years of talk & more Talk !
A NEW study
A NEW book
America needs ACTION !
Not a NEW study
Or NEW book.
America needs to let the STUPID Ones WEED Them SELVES OUT!
All the make shift memorial’s & the prayers when are people going to get the big picture people are going to do what ever they want and all the 🙏& 😥 don’t change anything except for STUPID people to open there wallet and give buck’s & bag’s of
💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
And others to 🤣🤣🤣all the way to the bank.
hang the dealers
Don’t negotiate with terrorists
More kids die from fentanyl than covid19 but Democrats don’t care about facts just control .open borders is how this stuff gets into your kids hands. Wake up
Why was it there?
Let me sum up: people die from fetanyl overdose but the government hardly do anything. On the other hand Ivermectin is perfectly safe but the government makes sure it is not used. Very interesting.
How are those teachers going to make their extra cash now..?
40 bags??!!??
same thing happened to george floyd and everyone blamed the police
LGB clap cla clap clap keep those borders open and the fentanyl flowing…. china loves this
Joe Biden sold it to him
Andale pendejos they prob thought it was something else
America is full of drug use
What is this world coming to be…too many kids getting killed.
Drug company’s are GUILTY.
Sounds like he wanted to be a lil drug dealer to me 🤷🏽♂️
Drug free
*see kids, this is what happen when you try to impress and stand out.*
You can hear the wailing of the next of kin in the background near the end of this news segment. Absolutely heartbreaking.
GF moment
It’s kids parents that don’t keep a eye on there kids…… what they are doing…..
My heart goes out for the drugs
😂 🤣
I’m sure he knew.
Father in Heaven be with the families. Let’s get serious
Asking how does drugs get into school is a joke. Educating your children early stop being naive to think that children aren’t exposed especially now in the tech world having a phone at early ages
Wonderful parents that 13-year-old had, NOT.
🛰🛰🛰🛰🛰🛰🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👁👁👁👁👁👁
To bad he did it to himself.
We must invade mexico.
Its sad for the family who lost this young boy. But where would these kids get this much. Schools maybe needs to have see-though backpacks where teachers see everything inside. Maybe all schools need drug sniffing dogs at entrances? Its a costly dog. Its hard to keep schools safe in anyway these days. Its scary.
Guess what race it is lmfao
Check the Parents
yeah I think we will continue with home schooling…
Fentanyl. Making America great… Again….when will we realize finally America is far, far from great.
The real question is where did children get it and why did they have it. Fentanyl is too dangerous to give a child to sell in school because they wouldn’t know how to handle it safely. Even trained people still accidentally get overdosed. You can overdose simply by touching the baggies with your hands.
Parents need to stop being in denial like it can never happen to their kid and start paying attention..
No way did the kids bring all that stuff to school. It got there somehow.
That kid had direct access to someone’s cutting materials. Pretty sure there’s a high volume drug dealer in this mix thats nervous af rn.
I mean clearly the children brought the drugs to school…. Like I remember in middle school kids brought drugs and did drugs in school all the time. This is only the schools fault because they must have turned a blind eye to kids getting high constantly – this is the parents fault for the most part. You need to know what your kids are up to and make sure they know the danger of drugs, especially when ingested by a child.
Like how did this kid have 40 bags of fentanyl…. Clearly dealing drugs, clearly lacking parental supervision, and clearly the school was being negligent, like there must be high 12 year old roaming the halls everyday.
At 12 I doubt they were using it. Parents must of been selling.
This should’ve been a safe used drug area located inside of the school so the kids can ingest their narcotics with supervision
Stop telling kids that drugs are great and nothing will happen. We are an addict nation.
Teach your kids not to take drugs😩
Bidens open borders are allowing fentanyl to pour in. This will be an ongoing problem.
Along with the illegals
taxpayers will support.
Amazing how people can be blind to the open border and drugs coming into 🇺🇸
Close the border!
China is flooding North America with fentynal as part of a plan.
Shoot, another victimized child. Is it that bad? I want to warn my boys.
Poor Americans, its own government is more concerned with the UYGHURS, the Rohingyas, the Ukrainians and.the Taiwanese…
I am very sorry for that I really a.m. and we will get justice for him and his family you can take the act and we could do that
40 bags found? The kid was selling. How did he get the drugs!? Find out who gave the kid all those drugs!
People are shocked? What? Like seriously close the dam border. Biden lovers
John 10:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
40 bags? Someone’s kid stole it from them most likely. That is a dangerous drug all around
wow thats crazy asf.
Someone brought it to school, someone’s family member is a drug dealer.
