Three days after his son Noah ingested an unknown substance at his elementary school, Jeremy Mills continues to share his story so that other parents can talk to their kids about the change of the drug landscape.

91裸聊视频淭he message is to be aware of what91裸聊视频檚 out there,91裸聊视频� said Mills.

91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檝e shown our kids needles and they know needles are bad, but with a drug like this or other drugs like gummy bears or whatever, they might not think it91裸聊视频檚 a harmful substance.91裸聊视频�

On Sept. 11, Noah ingested a pink powder and began acting very strange. His father was called to the school, A.S. Matheson, and knew something was immediately wrong.

91裸聊视频淗e couldn91裸聊视频檛 walk, couldn91裸聊视频檛 move and he was incoherent. Seeing my eight-year-old boy, it was just like 91裸聊视频榳hat the hell is going on?91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�

They took Noah to the hospital but the tests couldn91裸聊视频檛 determine what the substance was.

A day after the incident, Noah had recovered well enough to tell his father what had happened and where he had found the powder. He told his dad he found it in his classroom and that he had eaten some.

Mills went to the school the next day, and the substance was found in the classroom. RCMP recovered it and the tests on what it exactly was have not yet arrived.

Noah has since been recovering well, but his family is weary of his return to school until they know exactly what91裸聊视频檚 been done to prevent this from happening again.

Mills said that the schools need to usher in new policies to ensure events like this do not happen again.

91裸聊视频淎ll schools and staff need to be able to recognize drugs like this,91裸聊视频� he said.

91裸聊视频淭he message needs to be sent that drugs are no longer just needles and marijuana. We need the recognition programs for the parents and children right now.91裸聊视频�
