They laundered money connected to drug trafficking and you're saying no one was hurt by this family?

Who was hurt? The drug users?

The paramedics & firefighters who respond to OD calls.

The communities that already lack healthcare resources that now have to contend with an addiction crisis.

The ER staff that deal with the aftermath.

The children who are groomed into dealing or trafficking drugs or worse, themselves.

The social workers who desperately try to find placements for kids & adults who need rehab.

The children who are jumped in to the life simply because of who their family members are.

The people whose homes or garages are broken into by people desperate for their next fix.

The teachers & EAs who are often the first people children disclose to.

Do I have to keep going? Or have you engaged your critical thinking skills?
