#Fentanyl #Crime #Virginia
That’s so ?
Just sad!! Sad times for sure. Mercy
Parents of kids:
Let’s see, how can I blame the school for this, hmmmmm
fentanyl causes headaches? I call B$
“Fentanyl laced bag”? Never heard of that one.
Why would they give their kid a fentanyl laced bag to take candy in? Then again, they are fentanyl parents, so that would explain it.
Maybe the bag had traces of fentanyl and the kid grabbed a bag to put his gummy bears in. I don’t think any parent in their right mind would do this intentional.
Where did they say they were their parents? There are so many holes in this story you can’t even call what happened..
@@kayvee5286 For real lol people are so hysterical about any news story related to fentanyl now. They act like it’s VX gas or something.
@kayvee5286 the fact an entire news conference and camera crews covered this over a trace amount dosent add up.
What do you mean? A “trace amount” has killed adult paramedics, for instance, just from touching a patient’s skin with fentanyl on it. It makes perfect sense that a trace amount in a bag with candy would make children sick.@@nickroth593
never share food in elementary unless it is from the lunch ladies maybe…😵🧠👀
Junkies… 🤡🤦🏻♂️
You used to have to worry about peanut contamination. Now, it’s Fentanyl. So sad.
Wack
You still have to worry about nut allergies.
@@FilterfinderI think the point went way over your head
@@Filterfinderjust had to be that guy huh?
@@Filterfinder☠️
The old double standards at play…
What double standards?
huh..?
China and Mexico need to be held accountable they are the ones making it
Mainly China. CCP uses Mexican Cartels mainly CJNG and Los Chapitos to push massive loads of Fentanyl inside America. Many young Chinese Nationals with military haircuts were caught at California border.
CCP values no human life. They human traffic children through Hillary Clinton Foundation and Bidens company. They slaughter them for Adrenochrome. Adrenochrome makes the user live very long. This is how the British Queen and Rockefeller lasted. ADRENOCHROME! SAVE OUR CHILDREN!!!
US needs to get a pass for sending all the guns south of the border. The guns from the US are used by the cartels to smuggle fentenyl
Stop playing victim. You junkies
And the US allows it in. 🤫
@@fugazi-ki9rr well it’s time we remind them they are here to serve we the people and we should drain the swamp and all currupt politicians, vote for Trump
This problem is touching all families
Oh noooo
What a nightmare. Of COURSE the schools are not “safe”. The K-12 indoctrination camps make pretty bad parents.
Junkies, USA full of that 🤮🤮
That’s crazy
Nah you can’t trust no people with they food now
A society in decay
I’m sure the school is doing all they can. You can imagine someone at some point will do this maliciously, even though that was not the case here. We just can’t trust our neighbors. Scary!!!!
So, a kid brought gummis to school that were contaminated with fentanyl (because the child lived in a home with two fentanyl users whose drug of choice somehow got into the bag the gummis were packed in) and the child offered to share the gummis with other kids, not realizing the gummis were contaminated (because kids share), and somehow that’s the school’s fault for not cleaning enough? I’m confused by that logic…
All blaming the school will do is cause them to implement something stupid, like a full ban on kids bringing any snacks from home. Way to completely miss the mark whoever places the blame there and not solely with the parents.
@@airraverstazon top of discriminating heavily on the less fortunate children financially.
I learned in school- if ur gonna sue, u gotta sue the rich. But agreed with what u said, how is the school responsible? They’re not, but they’re the ones with $$$
Afterwards genius
People are just stupid
There was never any doubt about what race they would be … they do sick stuff this to kids a lot .. just like the teacher and husband that fed her student brownies with human his sperm in them … sicko people…smh
Ok parents its time to talk to your kids about eating at school. Outside of the lunchroom food or food u sent. THIS IS BECOMING TO COMMON.
HOMESCHOOL
Something sus about 0:32.
There was no fentanyl. It will be found that there was nothing but a faulty drug test that almost all cops carry. Why test for fentanyl? The kids were probably just high.
Sure sounds safe.
why don’t i get the fun gummy worms?
You think that 50 yr old is blowing the 25 yr Olds back out?…..
Crazy how initially they all tried to clam it was from weed edibles
Despicable. There’s nothing safe about that!
Highly doubt fetty being wasted like this. I call bs
A cop looks at fentanyl and they die. But a kid eats some and he does not die?
gosh a merica…
if it wasnt g.uns then its dr.ugs…
Do not send your kids to school. It’s not a safe location. Do in home schooling.
Drag free zone 😂
Wow so scary, poor kids. I pray 🙏 all are ok. Very unacceptable. Shame on them 👎
Thanks Biden
Such a lazy response. It’s Americans appetite. Supply and demand. It wouldn’t be here if we didn’t want it. But keep finger pointing that’s the American way. Same goes for guns. Supply to meet the demand. We crave them. And nobody can stop us.
Stop it
@@switch1237 ❄️👑
I kinda applaud them for being honest. About 7 of the 6th grade students where I worked had gotten ridiculously high on edibles at lunch, and I was the only staff, tbe ONLY teacher… who noticed something was off. So I asked the kids what was.going on, and they cracked and admitted it. I reported it to the office which resulted in … a lot of chaos, angry parents, ambulances…
The assistant principal pretty much blamed me for reporting it. I was so surprised that so many of the staff were irritated with me.
Schools are becoming one of the most dangerous places to send your kids because the adults who are charged with keeping them safe really resent that expectation in a way.
It’s more important to keep the school’s “reputation” and avoid the paperwork, than it is to protect kids.
The irony is that there’s even more paperwork and a lawsuit if it gets discovered, even more so if it’s covered up@@comradewolf4901
@@comradewolf4901If they valued their reputation so much, they should’ve done the right thing before any kids would be put in harm’s way.
This neglect is more the fault of administrators who never want to deal with causes, than it is of teachers. Between terrible parents and terrible administrators, public schools are being destroyed.
It’s true and so sad. It’s never about the safety of the kids.
That’s crazy right here in 44 kids got sick numbness fingers
Thank goodness for the Drug Free Zone sign!
WOW disgusting! THIS IS WHAT WE ARE DEALING WIT PEOPLE!
Maybe the school should ban chocolates, candies, chewing gum and gummies brought to and being shared in school.
Really? In the 50’s and 60’s we weren’t allowed to have gum. Candy you had to have enough to share with the class or put it away. even pretzels, unless it was your lunch. Cough drops were the only exception.
We all need to teach our children to never ever take any candy or medicine or anything from anyone at any time unless it’s your parents!!!!! Wake up everyone!!!!!😮
Yeah thats not going to work. Kids share to socialize, to make friends, and other reasons you can tell your kid not to trade lunchs but they will. Its part of school. The blame falls mainly on the parents. The kid did not know any better.
Is typically atleast don’t take food or anything from a stranger. School, should be fine, as long as they use their instics and if they trust the kid/peer that offers to them
Or if given parent permission the schools nurse
Yes. Teach your kids to live in total paranoia and fear. Great idea.
@@snowfroten5406oh, please. kids with allergies and diet restrictions do it all the time, lol. acting like your kid is dumb is doing a disservice to your child and their intelligence.
This is a sad, hot mess
Wow
Let me guess… trump supporters..?
0:33 i think this dude got into the fentanyl bag.
They look like trusting parents.. Yeah bring some open bags of candy to the party mom.. Yuck…
Does the guy have a tick or is he just nervous?
I really hope CPS was called.
Liar liar pants on fire
It’s all the reason why today, anymore of yesterday to not accept candy,many eats,or smokes from people.Just stay with that is reputable (products).
😢
The cops get away with everything
Sad that they have even taken the peace of learning.
Go Bidenomics I don’t understand how much evil there is when a dishonest person is in power.
Yes wake up MG this is scary times for our children 🙏 I just pray for our children and our country 🙏 😢it’s awful and just getting worse every day 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
That student knew what he or she was doing… gummi bears in a fetty bag
Home schooling is probably wise
Natural selection
We are a nation of inhumane greed…from big pharma, insurance, to your neighborhood great parents of those good kids!
Were they real candy gummy bears? Or THC gummies? Interesting that the reporters didn’t care to ask.
don’t blame them because you can’t comprehend what they’re saying, lol. they were regular gummies that were accidentally contanminated by thier parents’, taken to school and shared.
jesus christ, where did you even get THC from? it was contaminated with Fentanyl.
So disgusting
But the sign said drug free zone
Deport them,
Oh wait, put them in jail on $1.00 bond,
Out country isnt safe as long as Democrats have any power
Oh wow, gun free zone and drug free zone, theses signs fight crime so well!
let me guess.. What’s the majority demographic of this school?
Entire city is only 1% Latino. The two people arrested for this ordeal were white people:
Not suprised in a small wypipo town
This is fake news. Free the fentanyl!
Aaaahhhh America’s top humans…I am shocked!!!
“My gummy just kicked in!”
I’m confused, when this was first reported it was proven that it was THC NOT fentanyl why are they changing it up? I honestly don’t believe this it wasn’t fentanyl at all. It’s sad they gotta lie about this they gotta make it worse then wat it really was.
The bag had fentanyl in it before but the gummy bears was THC …💯 Facts for the world to know… HAKUNA MATATA 👽😇
Seems if you wanna find feety go to the daycares and elementarys haha😂
One reason to hate gummy bears.
I like how the school is being honest and open about it rather than hiding it
“it’s unacceptable for our county”
I love that. If only more officials said that to people
Charge Biden as an accessory.
Why is so much fentanyl in America every where I mean everywhere 😮
These two Demons Need to be Made an Example Of😢💔 WAKE UP AMERICA 😮
Good they’re behind bars! I feel bad for the kids that lived in that home.
that’s crazy-
I’ve been addicted to “tranq” for about 2 months now and this stuff is something FIERCE. The high is so intense, but when you come back to your senses, you wake up and the floor with your own saliva everywhere and most of your clothes taken off. I feel like someone else just takes control of my body when I take it and it feels like I don’t have to worry about ANYTHING. I actually dislocated one of my shoulders while twisting and turning on the ground like an absolute freak when high off this stuff. I don’t know anything about thoes “skin rotting” claims, but I wouldn’t be surprised if that was something the media made up just to scare people into not buying/using it, same with fentanyl… If you want to try this stuff, I recommend you take the absolute minimum, unless you plan on getting hooked on it, like me.
@ 1:22 I highly HIGHLY doubt that this specific kid would have refused that gummie. 😂
Also need to add that this was 4th graders and girl ain’t no 4th grader. She lied for street cred.
It’s a 3/10 elementary school on GreatSchools… Why even send your kids there. Homeschool or move.
Should we allow schools to send their personnel to parents homes for occasional visits. If they suspect drug use or abuse, get social workers or police involved. If you have netiher of those 2 issues, then what would be the issue?
Oh yeah, that wont totally be abused at all. Let’s hand over all our privacy and personal freedoms to the government. Who needs those pesky rights anyways.
@@nikkibest5010 That’s a fair point. What’s your solution?
26 year old getting high with her new daddy
It’s not the school’s fault this happened. How can you blame them?
Disgusting.
The erasing comments… You’re not getting everyone’s input…
Stay safe and don’t go with in a thousand miles of these people
Banall🛐🙏✝️
What is happening out here man. WOW.
How much fentany has to be floating around your house that it just shows up in a bag of candy?
That Rollie pollie didn’t say no to no gummy bears welfare queen wanted to get her 15 seconds
I wonder if it was the parents of the kid who came with the gummy bears who was arrested ?
It’s scary now all over the United States last year some guy gave someone at construction job site that was a Gatorade that laced with fentanyl watch out people
Lol now this is what puts my slice of the world on the news 😂
Thats Amherst for you.
