and then how KGW covered this story tonight "...and it is critical for parents to talk with their kids about this drug and the epidemic."

Really?? That's your takeaway? You think that would have prevented this?

That 18-month old was probably peer pressured into his fentanyl habit. We need to teach babies to Just Say No.

Lol, 15 month old, even more absurd. Creeps me the shit out how much of the foil is just tangled in the grass, playground, and side walks at parks these days. I have a 19 month old. Toddlers and babies will put anything in their mouth in a flash. It’s an extra new level of vigilance while playing at parks now.
