What may be the biggest threat to the health and safety of children in North Texas brought a lot of parents together Thursday night in Carrollton.
A string of fentanyl poisonings among students, some of them deadly, have elevated concerns about a silent killer that is in our schools.The mother of Angelina Rogers shared the painful details of her daughter's sudden death after taking a pill given to her by another high school student which contained fentanyl."She had oxys and she gave one to my daughter," Rogers said."My daughter took half and never woke up.
The resource officer at R.L. Turner High School offered insight into fake opioid pills called M30 that recently caused the deaths of three students and made others sick. "Open that phone and do everything in your power to have those conversations with your kids," he said. "We do not have enough police officers for every street corner, we do have citizens on just about every street corner so we cannot be successful without you," said Carrollton Police Chief Robert Arrendondo.Three mothers who all lost adult sons to fentanyl poisonings in the past year were present at the meeting.
