Families don't take their children to church and synagogue anymore they don't have a fondation any longer and when mothers went out to work everything fell apart in this country!!

Overdose of what?

They need to look deeper in to this. That is a residential school for troubled kids. How did the drugs get in?

It sounds like there needs to be a flood of calls and emails sent to DougDucey 's office to have this place investigated! Get in contact with the media etc. The louder we are the more they'll be forced to listen

Ahh, poor dopers.

I pass there frequently and never see a soul outside. Just cars & cops. Always wondered what it was.

I'm sorry to hear about that 😔

I was a student here from 2019-2020. I’m not the greatest person but the shit I’ve seen in there is haunting. Corrupt staff out the ass, they allow fighting, drugs, head staff refuse to watch camera footage. It’s meant for children with problems,there’s no supervision=no change

Unreal and do very sad 😔 😟 🙁 😥 😞

Now Hiring

Multiple time I seen staff go in the room with kids to fight … if you don’t do what they say they gonna put hands on you even if your not a threat to anyone else

They abuse kids there … I was there for 2,5 years the treat them bad … grown men threatened to fight the kids n all

suprised they aren’t shut down from all the other overdoses and deaths..

So sad as we are seeing more students who are dealing with stress with the lack of coping or socialization skills

Thanks Kelly and Sinema

Schools should have narcan ☹️

UPDATE: Officials say the student who died in the possible overdose was a 16-year-old boy. WHAT WE KNOW:

Most likely thought they were taking Percs and got M30's laced with fentanyl. Doesn't take much...

This is not a border issue. Many of these kids are psych patients or end up here due to being in DCS custody.

Just wow..smh

Keep those borders open.
