13-year-old Alabama Girl Dies From Inhalant Abuse
Via WBTV.com
Phil Eudy, of North Carolina and father of 13-year-old Rebecca Eudy, is speaking out against inhalant abuse. Rebecca died last week after being found in the bathtub of her mother's home in Alabama. A can of computer duster was nearby.
Mr. Eudy, "wants to tell parents everywhere." He believes his daughter never intended to die. That she took a break from watching a movie to take a bath and decided to get a quick "high" by huffing before she got into the bathtub. Investigators told the family that she probably passed out and drowned in the bathtub.
Eudy says that huffing was something he was not aware of or considered a potential hazard for his daughter. Eudy wants to help spread awareness and education to other families and urges parents to look for canisters of household products in their child's room, watch for missing items, or to check and see if items have been moved around.

California Restaurant Suspects Vandalism Due to Huffing
Via The Press Enterprise
A California restaurant owner discovered vandalism to his restaurant may have been caused by those looking to get high.
The restaurant owner, who had just opened his restaurant two weeks earlier, noticed that his restaurant seemed unusually warm one morning. The owners discovered that someone had snipped an air-conditioner copper line that carried a refrigerant fluid. The restaurant had to close for most of the day costing the owners $1,000 in sales and $400 in repairs.
Two days later the line was cut again. The owner originally thought the pipe has been cut for metal theft, but wondered why the pipe had not been taken. However, the manager of the air conditioning repair company offered a more plausible motive: huffing. "They will huff the refrigerant to get high," the air conditioning company manager said. The restaurant owner had a steal cage installed over his unit to help prevent further incidents.

A 58-year-old South Carolina woman is being charged with neglect of a vulnerable adult after her mother wandered from the house while the woman huffed spray paint. Police were called to the family's home by a neighbor who found the 78-year-old mother in a ditch in his front yard without any clothes on.
