Addiction disorder is a deadly disease. Tragically, the onset is caused by drug (most pop. is alcohol) use - and overwhelmingly by young people .. people just beginning to break away from their parents and so, often coming back for help when the disease has complete hold of them. Blame doesn't help.What passes for education doesn't help (it just threatens w/out informing) and is aimed at kids. Parents and children need to be educated together - this is a DISEASE. My beautiful son is also dead.

[MissAmandaMarie80]

Kids are gonna do what they want to do, whether or not they know the dangers. Noone forced you're child to get high, it was something they wanted to do. & if they really wanted it that bad they'd find any way to do it. No one can explain why one kid studies & the other parties.

im an ex drug addict but thank god im off the drugs now

[mjconniff]

You say he was "murdered". I believe the same is true for my son, who died 3 weeks ago (the pathology/toxicology reports are not in yet) of a supposed heroin and perhaps ecstasy o.d. I believe he was killed. Can you tell me more? By the way, my son was also an amazing baseball player! He was pitcher/3rd baseman/hitter extraordinaire. We miss him so much...he was only 21.

(part 2 of 2) However, our school offers drug awareness classes and classes on making choices, and we as parents also explain the dangers of drugs and the importance of choices and are open to the kids coming to us if they have any problems at all. Ultimately, the kids take what info they want, but are, in the end, responsible for making the right choices. I am sorry for your loss, I feel your pain.

[snoellec]

(part 1 of 2) I feel for this family. What a beautiful young man. I write because my own 17 year old son passed away, 3 weeks ago today, on March 18, 2009 from a heroin overdose. I found him dead. We have lost 3 students in our high school within the past 6 months, 2 from methadone and 1 from heroin.

[ShecklerFreak123]

falls du es nicht weißt wie er gestorben is: er war auf einer party. dort hatte er einen drink in dem H drin war:[

[jstar1039]

don't take drugs it's not worth it's not worth ANYTHING!

[ForZacksSake]

Thank you for your honest remark......You are so right.......It ruins families forever!

[RedDragon1337]

This is a very sad story, it really is a shame.

[67mustangreg]

I'm sorry for your loss. Have compfort in the fact that heroin is a painless and eurphoric way to go.

[YankeesLady]

Sorry about your loss,my 17 yr old niece died from the same thing this past May. Way too many are dying from this drug.Such a tragedy,laws need to be passed about the drug sellers/pushers who contribute to these deaths by selling these kids heroin

[Emsje123]

omg thats bad =(

people stay of drugs!

[Picaro1]

Yes,heroin was the ultimate reason why your son died.Sorry to hear about it.TheWarOnDrugs did not help.By making his addiction into a crime.He probrably had to hide and do it by himnself.He was not well taken care of like in some places in Canada and Europe.Where they would have gone to a supervise location and provided with Public Health Clinic.The illegal status of heroin has cause a lot more harm than we trully know.We do not know what could be available to addicts.

[speedsterDy]

come on guys.. he was addicted.. if there was better drugs education on school.. than he would know that it is very dangerous. not every one knows this shit about drugs.. my heart goes out for the mother and the rest of the family..

[amerizilian]

speedster- they don't tell you this shit in school. only "just say no" They need to show kids the movie requiem for a dream. They'd never touch the stuff

[mjconniff]

Interestingly enough, my son, who died at 21 from a supposed heroin/ecstasy overdose, used to sit and watch Requiem, Trainspotting, Spun, Rush, Party Animal and other "drug" movies with his drug buddies. They got off on it. Go figure. I miss my son so much....I lost my heart. God bless you, Zack's family.

[WildOrchidMusic]

oh common...i know he was only 17 and i know how tragic his dead is but there are thousands of seventeens that die from heroin.he is just one of them.

[diepunkerin]

I am realy sorry about you son but he must give hisself the injektion i know..i mean heroin is a horibble drug iand it schould be distryd...

I am realy sorry

[CaptainHowdy2528]

I think what you mean to say is that your 17-year-old son killed himself via heroin. If a man climbs a mountain and falls to his death, do you blame the mountain? Heroin isn't responsible here.

[cardhearted]

The Laws against drugs can't protect your children. Even if the dealer/user are arrested, they're set right back out on the streets. Most times within hours of the arrest. I deal with drug addicts every day where I live. I hate them. They are all fools who choose to use drugs. If somebody you love is using drugs, beat them to within an inch of thier life. Threaten to kill them if they keep it up. Throw them out on the street. Maybe they will learn from sleeping in the rain before it's too late.

[jellybeans11089]

im sorry for your loss

[steelermia]

"He lied in the room for over 8 hours. They put him in the shower instead of taking him to the hospital that was only a mile away"

who is 'they' .. seems like 'they' are the ones who killed your son or let him die

[kingcrimson234]

they're trying to blame the motel for his death.

[nathannathan124]

ForZacks Sake,

Sorry for your lose, I myself am a recovering addict, pills were my thing, its all the same. I have umpired high school and college ball for years. My son is 5 and loves basball and I have to say he does well for a 5 yr old. Your video touch me. I my addiction helps me children know not to do drugs. there come a day when I tell them my story. once again, sorry for your lose. Keep living

[peetrea]

my wee brother died just there, im going with my mum to identify him later today. Im so fuckin sad! He was an addict and was living the theiving, lying lifestyle, I never seen him for months as I just got on his case all the time. Tried everything and always gave into him. It was his fault, but these bastards that sell smack should be jailed for life, not the ones who sell to junkie friends but the big fish who make millions. They are the mass murderers. 10 year out in 5. thats no punishment!!

[kingcrimson234]

are we supposed to boycott Comfort Inn now or something stupid?

[gogussy12]

SHUT THE FUCK UP FAGGOT

[kingcrimson234]

uh, listen man i hate to have to say this to somebody who's dealt with their kid dying from a drug overdose... but where do you get off blaming the "laws" and the hotel he was at for his death? it's his own damn fault for doing heroin. it's not the hotel's fault and it's not the laws fault so please don't fucking pass the blame to somebody else.

[Pickpocket86]

Dude.... Shut up man ..... This family is struggling and all you can do is try to lecture them... Get a Life MAn

[kingcrimson234]

no, i won't shut up. their kid being a fool does not give them a free ticket to sit there and start blaming everybody but their son. it's his fault, not the hotel's fault and not the law's fault. his fault.

i know it's sad, and i feel sorry for the family. about 5 years ago a friend of mine died from heroin herself, alone in a motel room. nobody around her, including her family, blames the motel. what are they supposed to do, put cameras in every room?

[Pickpocket86]

Well Why do you go and say this about others its pointless man.... It just hurts the feelings of the people who are suffering

[PANDAbwer]

show some fucking respect king

[JMNUMBER01]

ironmaidenforlife666 thats sick as fuck you low life loser imagine even putting that comment i bet your a bully victim or something go and fuck yourself you freak of nature

[darkabyss1414]

Hi, im very sorry to hear such news. My brother also sadly died the same way, but im 100% sure that they are both in a much better place now, we're all going to be following them some day, its just a matter of time, be strong, he's always around with u.

[ForZacksSake]

Thank you for your kind comment. I needed that..... I am sorry about your brother.. I guess we will all just have to hang in there.  Thank you

[tyconwalt]

i am a heroin addict early in recovery. im sorry for your loss. i have lost friends to this beast and i can only pray that i can make it out of this alive. my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

[hurryupche]

i think the should legalize pharmacy injected heroin suicide, with a little room out back some marley posters and a chair. It could work. Id like the broscher

[Onedumblonde4U]

did you know that they do something like that in australia... kinda like a methodone clinic...only a pharmacy injected heroine clinic...yeah...keeps the junkies off the street, somewhat....I myself am one year clean off heroine...and methodone didn't work for me. I had to do it cold turkey.

[MiffNyc]

[ironmaidenforlife666]

[thehugechicken]

u must be an igmo 4 puttin a comment like that rottenapplez.... u must have no heart and honestly... u dont mean that.... but 2 forzackssake i feel u... ive lost mah uncle 2 drugs not a fun thing 2 go thru

[rottenapplez]

you must be joking... the "laws" didn't protect your son???! it's his fault first for doing it, and your fault second for not stopping his problem earlier.

[ghettofurby]

your ignorant

[rottenapplez]

[artyom999999]
