FLORENCE, Ky. – Briana and Kaitlyn Himes said they feel lucky they're not planning a funeral for their parents after five adults overdosed on heroin at their parents' mobile home Saturday.
While the adults got high and passed out, three children they were supposed to be caring for – ages 1, 11 and 12 - were in the house with them, according to a Boone County deputy's report.
The Himes sisters said the adults might have died if their uncle, Michael Young, hadn't arrived just in time to save them.

Yup...one of our largest suppliers regional managers is sitting in prison today because he wound up dealing Oxy to keep himself supplied...
I cannot express the absolute shock of learning he was arrested...
You would have never in a million years thought he was a drug addict and dealer to boot...
all those poor people being forced to use drugs.
The very definition of white trash.
Heroin, like what is being dumped into a population like ours, looks and acts like a weapon of that spiritual war being deployed in the physical world.
Evidence for this is shown by the damage done to both the physical body and spiritual body, as well as by those who produce it and then dump it here, countries like Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The counter, neutralizing weapon against it is not the absence of heroin, per se, as the problem is the absence of God.
There are physical world ways to counter this particular weapon, of course, but they aren't the cure. Even those who aren't vulnerable to it are just as vulnerable to one or many other things without God within.
The spiritual war raging around us now is very real. Getting each individual soul to not see and understand that truth, and then dismiss and deny it, is a masterfully laid trap and our generation is falling for it.
May its victims not become its casualties, but be healed and restored to fight the good fight.
Well,they’ll all have something to laugh about at the next family reunion.
Too bad they didn’t die
In 1979 I was involved in a Motorcycle Accident, I was on the back as passenger, we crashed on a mountain road and went off a cliff. I was put in one of those cute little baskets and hoisted up the mountain unconscious of course. When I came to in the hospital I was temporarily paralyzed with Major Road Rash over half my back. and half of my upper left arm ground to the bone. Needless to say I needed Major Skin Grafting. The Doctors could not do anything for2-3 months so as to allow my body to start the healing process first, during which time I was prescribed all the opium I could take. I became addicted rather quickly, for it was literally the only way I could survive and live with the unbearable pain. When I went to the Hospital 3 months later for skin grafting, I had to go through WITHDRAWLS while strapped to a Hospital Bed. IT SUCKED BIG TIME and took about a week for the cold sweats and shakes to go away.
As a result I rarely take any pain medication, when you see me go to the doctor for Pain Pills, like I did a few years ago when I broke 2 ribs on my dirt bike, it means that most people would have died from the pain already.
The opium was in the form of Morphine and came in a cute bottle
Five less”Obongo Voters”!It’s a Start!!
i got a prescription for some when i had 2 front teeth pulled. went from surgeon to my dentist for the bridge and he laughed when i told him. he said some ibuprofen and a nap would do just fine. threw the prescription bottle in my backpack for hiking as a just in case of having to hike out on a bad leg. given my personality that stuff scares me.
“Five less”Obongo Voters”!It’s a Start!!”
Boone County voted 70% against Obama in 2012.
Good chance they voted for Romney or did not vote.
Except for that whole, snorting heroin, popping percocet and washing it all down with a couple of beers while babysitting thing. Other than that - loving and responsible.
Get used to seeing news stories like this, because heroin use is skyrocketing, due to the reformulation of prescription opiate painkillers, making them harder to abuse. On the black market, heroin often costs a quarter of what pills do, per dose, so if they can’t get pills, they get heroin.
As a rule of thumb, high grade white heroin comes in through the coasts, and cheaper brown heroin, for smoking or snorting, comes up from Mexico.
“156,000 people starting heroin use in 2012, nearly double the number of people in 2006 (90,000).” (National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)).
But, this heroin thing is outta control. Brought to us by our friends, the financial elites, to bring about our complete destruction even quicker.
I just saw a documentary regarding the heroin coming in now. It's decimating small towns, particularly in the northeast where the use has always been a minor problem isolated to the ghettos. It's hitting all age groups, all income brackets, all educational levels. Many times they start out with opiate pills, move on to smoking heroin and with no time are injecting and strung out.
Watch your kids, educate them. It's all you can do.
One thing we are seeing is the people that have been hooked on legal pain killers are being cut off or weaned by the same doctors that got them hooked in the first place.
Heroin in particular is easier to get and cheaper. The biggest problem, the users do not know how strong it is or isn’t. Hence the OD’s.
Those that have never suffered through addiction have no idea what the addicted are going through or how easy it is to become addicted. They also don’t realize how dangerous it can be for them to detox from addiction. Alcohol detox is the most dangerous when it comes to detox.
That’s a major source of the adult heroin problem.

Perhaps in a sense that is the major source. But the ultimate source is the personal choices that individuals such as these have made in abandoning God and involving themselves with false gods.
And, yes, I have sympathy for people who are addicted to substances, but there is no excuse for putting your destructive needs above the wellbeing of children who are entrusted to your care.
Well said! Prayers up.

The way we prescribed those drugs, insisting for years that they weren’t addictive, removed a lot of personal choice. Also there’s a lot of biochemical parts of addiction. The whole “personal choice abandoning God” line is, quite simply, wrong, offensively stupid, and shows you should stay away from the whole thing.
