From LAFD News & Information in Los Angeles, California:
Battalion County School officials and local police caught five teenage girls huffing an unknown substance on Wednesday. The teens experienced impairments in their judgment, sense of reality, and overall ability to process information sufficiently.
The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) notes the importance of communication and education surrounding youths in light of the recent number of duster deaths. LAFD encourages parents to take a more active role in the programs presently in place within local school districts to assist in educating others on the impact this issue has on consumer education.
According to the Partnership for Drug Free America “inhalant abuse has increased by 44 percent in over the last year within middle schools alone”.
