魁北克死了几个人，Quebec mosque shooting: Support pours in for victims' families ...
渥太华孩子死了两个，是不是也能够看到pour in？谁是凶手，吸毒无害论？
土豆一大政纲就是支持mental health，我等着看，是不是能看到我党哪怕给人民做下一件好事呢？还是只做毒贩的活呢？

Dad writes open letter about teen drug overdoses in Kanata
Below is the full text of his message:
To all whom are concerned,
As many if not all of you are aware from news reports a beautiful 14-year-old Kanata girl passed away this week as a result of a drug overdose.
What hasn’t been reported as of yet is that Chloe Kotval was the third Kanata teenager to die of a drug overdose in the last eight weeks. Many of you that are receiving this initial email are aware of this.
The two other children that have died were a 17-year-old girl and a 16-year-old boy. At this time the families of these two other children do not want the publicity of having their children’s names and causes of death known and unless I am told otherwise I will respect their wishes. If I know of three in Kanata you can be assured there are many more.
My 16-year-old daughter Paige is also a drug addict/abuser. I feel so sad for the parents of the children that have died. But even worse than the sadness I have for them is the fear I/we and many others live with every day that is so real.
My first thought every morning is to check that Paige is alive. It is a nightmare of a way to live life especially when you have other children and have to try to make their lives as normal as possible.
Paige has been an addict/abuser for about 20 months. Our family dealt with it the best we could with the limited resources that are available to families in situations like ours. The nightmare that we have lived for 18 months was nothing compared to the nightmare our lives turned into starting on December 31 at 10:30 p.m.
At that moment I arrived home to find a 17-year-old boy dead in my garage. Thankfully I arrived when I did and that one kid was not high and she had called 911, we performed CPR, eventually got his heart going and then the paramedics arrived. I put a post on “Bell’s Let Talk.”
Since then I can’t even to begin to explain what we have been through. I personally know the names of eight Kanata teens whom have overdosed in the last two months.
Sadly the deaths that have occurred are only the beginning. If you look at statistics from any other communities where the kids started getting hooked on counterfeit opioids the prognosis for our community and our children does not look promising.
The point of this letter is not to discuss my family’s problems and/or the problem in general. Most of us know there is a problem. We have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on psychologists, counsellors etc. etc. Our daughter has spent 10 weeks at the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre.
I have locked her at home, chased her around, grabbed her off the streets, walked in to people’s homes uninvited to take my daughter out of there, we have had paramedics and police to our home numerous times. But here we sit not knowing day to day whether our beautiful little girl will be alive tomorrow.
I have talked to a few parents of other addict/abusers in Kanata and their stories are all the same. I do not know the answer nor am I any closer to finding the answer than when I first started seeking it.
I do know that when any of us have questions or need help having 2 families asking is better than one. Having 10 families is better than 2 and so on. The only people that really know what is going on are the kids and they need help.
My goal is not to try and solve the drug problem. It has been going on for many decades but never before right now have the drugs been indiscriminately taking our children’s lives. I do not know how many families are suffering the same fate as us right now but I know there are many.
The first thing I would like to do is have a meeting with as many parents of addicts/abusers as I can find. We have all experienced the futility of dealing with this scourge on our own. We the parents of these kids and future kids need to unite for ourselves and for our kids.
Please forward this to as many people you know who have teenage kids. I will keep all replies confidential unless permission is granted otherwise.
If they want to come to the meeting great or I can send them notes after our discussion. Primary focus will be making sure everyone is aware of what resources are available, what treatments are available, use of Suboxone and if it is working. Ottawa Health will give us full support and supply Naloxone kits, training, etc. Then we can have an open discussion of ideas, questions to be asked, etc.
The days of the saying “They need to hit rock bottom before getting better” are over. Sadly in most cases today rock bottom is a slab at the morgue.

７，８年级合并到高中，教育局给家长搞了好几次意见咨询，每次调查咨询结果出来，家长concern第一位的都是担心7，8年级的孩子受大孩子的影响，会有意无意地接触到不适合他们这个年龄的一些信息但又无大孩子该有的判断力，极大比例的家长都要求小孩子和大孩子在作息时间和活动空间上能给予一定的隔离
我个人感觉西方对孩子的教育方式上有点过分强调了成人世界所推崇和需要的尊重，平等，自由，宽容而忽视了管教互动和引导，有点偏向了和中国家长权威式作风相反的另一个偏端
花样的年华生命却过早逝去了，真让人心痛！
