Federal officials are issuing a warning about drug dealers who are enhancing the potency of fentanyl, the deadly drug they profit from selling.
According to data from the Georgia Department of Public Health, Fentanyl is responsible for an increasing number of deaths in Georgia each year.
The rate at which lives are being claimed by the opioid epidemic, exacerbated by the presence of fentanyl, is deeply concerning.
A tragic incident has prompted a concerned mother to raise awareness about the potentially fatal consequences of a single mistake.
Maria Petty vividly recalls the terrifying Halloween morning of 2022.
“I enter the room and I don’t witness my son laughing, playing, or jumping around. The image I have in my mind when I step inside is different.”
Petty expressed the heart-wrenching anguish of discovering her lifeless son lying in that room. She vividly recalled the chilling sensation she felt when she touched his foot, which had already turned cold.
As she entered the room, a heartbreaking sight awaited her. Her beloved son, Lucas, lay lifeless on his bed at the tender age of 16. The devastating loss struck her like a bolt of lightning, leaving her shattered and overcome with grief.
