by a mother's point of view Location: Madison on Jan 21, 2013 at 10:45 AMPlease don't make such ignorant comments - no matter what these young people didn't deserve to die. Educate yourself on drug addiction before you make such comments. It's a disease...once addicited it's hard for them to stop. Let's get the drugs off the streets so they aren't so accessible & we can try to prevent this from happening again and again...very sad...[ Report Abuse ]
