Today 16-year-old Keegan Pyron is back in class and working alongside his peers.
Just a few months ago he was living a much different story, clinging to what little of life he had left.
“Whether it was my family or if I was at a friend’s house for a sleepover. I mean I was in 7th grade so if I was visiting a friend’s house or my family, I went to someone’s house for dinner the first thing I would do was look in the medicine cabinet,” he said.“Eventually I couldn’t steal from my parents or other people’s parents or friends, I started buying more things off the street and that grew into its own separate thing,” he said.
“It varies on a case by case. What has happened is fentanyl is so prevalent in our communities. Kids may be looking for cocaine. They may be looking for meth, maybe heroin, maybe they are looking for marijuana, but fentanyl is everywhere and its cheap and it’s easy to get,” Keith Hayes said.
