Granite High School student overdoses on cough syrup [UT]

Granite High School student overdoses on cough syrup
September 12, 2008  - ksl.com



 A Granite High School student was taken to the hospital today after she overdosed on cough syrup.

It comes a day after four students overdosed on prescription pills at Matheson Junior High School in Magna.

Granite School District spokesman Randy Ripplinger says today the girl was at a Sconecutter restaurant near Granite High at 654 E. 3300 South when someone noticed her.

An officer from the high school responded and took the girl back to the school. He then called emergency crews, and the girl was taken to the hospital. Granite High is located at 3305 S. 500 East.

The district is concerned, but it's emphasizing this is not an epidemic. "If you look at a statewide average, we are not the highest in the number of incidents of students using drugs in the state, but we're very concerned about the numbers we do have," Ripplinger said.

"When we're in school 180 days a year, you can guarantee that every day almost there's somebody violating drug policies and crimes somewhere in our system. Now you spread that statewide, you look at districts that are smaller, larger than us, you'll find even more incidents," he said.

School officials say drug incidents like this are not uncommon. In fact, statistics show during the 2006-2007 school year, there were 195 drug-related incidents in the Granite School District.

Ripplinger said parents need to take an active role and talk to their kids about drugs. "I'm not going to lay the blame at the schools nor at the parents, but we share the responsibility with parents to train these kids."

He added, "This is a societal problem that is just absolutely huge. We plead for community support on this issue. We have many community councils in our school district that work with us on this, but the homes of the families have got to get involved and realize that they can't wait until the kids are teenagers to start talking to their kids about drugs."

This comes a day after four students at Matheson Junior High overdosed on Tramadol, a pain medication. All four girls were taken to the hospital. In both yesterday's and today's overdoses, the girls were OK.

Salt Lake County Sheriff's deputies say the pills came from one of the girl's homes. All four students could face enhanced charges for having them in a drug-free zone.

Deputy Levi Hughes with the Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office said, "This is something we're taking pretty seriously because we're seeing such a rise in prescription medication abuse in Utah, especially among teenagers."

Years ago, teens abused alcohol and marijuana, but now the drugs of choice are prescription painkillers and over-the-counter cold and cough medicine. What officials are seeing at teen treatment centers is kids popping, swapping and selling legal drugs in significant numbers.

Derek Davis, with valley Mental Health, said, "Kids are taking them in such large quantities, they're taking 20 to 30 tablets at a time, which is really dangerous."

His advice for parents is to keep open lines of communication and keep better tabs on medication in the house.

They act like this is a new thing haha.  This was happening when I was going to school years ago.  Utah can be pretty boring some times and the young ones are just trying to find something fun to do.  Its just to bad it has to be something thats going to kill them or get them locked up.

I hate it when jits eat acid, shroom or take DXM for the first time and when it  starts to kick in, they freak out like, "oh my fucking god! I'M TRIPPING!"  No shit!  What the hell did this girl think was gonna happen?  All they did was take her in for observation. which means they gave her some val and made her ride the trip out.  Listen to me kids, "WHEN YOU TAKE PSYCHEDELICS, YOU TRIP!"  See shit that isn't there, feeling you can't explain, explanations you can FEEL.  Its is like the dumbasses you jump out of windows and shit.  seriously?
