Our parents are on drugs

I was listening to the radio. North Battleford has a great radio station. Ask Joel, he’ll give you the low-down.
The news comes on every hour on the hour and a story popped on that caught my attention.
Two parents are suing a drug dealer for their daughter’s overdose.
This is up there with winning money for spilling hot coffee on yourself.
They’re saying they are doing this because the justice system isn’t punishing the narcotics distributor harshly enough for selling the drugs.
Who’s fault is it for purchasing and taking the illegal substances? Why can’t people take responsibility for their own actions?
I wonder if these parents are still thinking their daughter is the sweet and innocent and couldn’t do anything wrong.
I feel bad they lost their child, but this is ridiculous. Maybe if the parents would have been there a little more, this wouldn’t have happened.
