Explain Why. “The graphic pictures.” x15 “The pictures because it showed some gruesome consequences.” x3 “The graphic nature in which it was presented.

Because I know who people do weed and soon maybe, who knows might switch drugs to get the same high as before.

But he still didn’t want his kids to see him do the drugs.” “Where the guy show us the picture where he shot himself.” x3 “Nothing, just when they showed the picture of him after he shot himself and wondered how he could be alive.” “When he showed the pictures of him laying on the ground when he shot himself.” “The explaining of how he almost committed suicide many times.” “The part where he talked about his suicide attempts, because I don’t want to kill myself over drugs.” “When the man told his story, it really was a crazy life he had.” “The most significant impact on me was when he was talking about how he cared more about drugs than his kids and wife.” “The pictures because they were gross.” “Pictures because their nasty.” “Pictures, they showed how it affects you physically.” “Pictures, it showed what actually happens.” “The part were he said people eat their skin and drink their urine” “When he showed the pictures of the children being abused.

I used to baby sit a baby but when she would get to her Mom’s she would be around meth.” “The child abuse.” x3 The children that were in the middle. They were beat even though they did noting wrong.” “When the baby was burned. Cause I don’t’ see how anyone can do that.” “The way that the children were neglected because you wouldn’t really think of it in terms of meth.” “The effect it had on the children, they have no choice of where or how they live.” “The child molestation really impacted me. The fact that someone on meth would do that to their own child.” “The way the addicts treated their children.” “The effect drugs can make on a child’s life.” “The pictures of the children. My brother and sister were living with our father and their mother when they were using meth.” “When he talked about babies that were affected by meth. The reason is because I don’t understand why someone would do that.” “I believe the part showing the pain and poverty that they were forces to live in.” “Seeing the children had to go through, because no kid should have to go through that.” “How the parents treat the children that was really wrong. If I am a parent I don’t want to use drugs.” “15 yr old girl who was murdered by her mom and stepdad. It just disgusted me.” “Seeing what those people did to that baby.” “The children getting beaten down with bruises all over their bodies because it’s unhuman like to beat your kids that much.” “Seeing the way these drugs effects the children who aren’t even taking the drug, especially Baby Hayley.” “The picture, because it shows what can really happen.” “I was shocked of the way parents were treating their children.” “Probably the pictures of the guy’s face after he shot himself.” “All photos…gives a glance of what family members and the users life is.” “The stories that he told about himself and family- it made me think of what could happen if I became addicted.” “Him telling about his personal experience.” “When he told us about meth labs exploding cuz I don’t wanna die.” “The whole thing, it all helps people understand the dangers of drugs.” Survey results from the faculty and community presentations in the same district as above: • 100 % of the surveys returned were completed by adults over the age of 18 • 99% indicated that the information provided was helpful to them • 100% felt that they now have a better understanding of the dangers of methamphetamine • 99% agreed that students would benefit from methamphetamine specific education in school • 83% felt they would benefit from having access to a Daviess County website containing anti-drug information and resources Comments “Thank you for your hard work.” “Keep presenting graphic demo’s for people to understand the meth problem.” “You need to use these types of speakers more frequently. Users out on probation need to be made to attend rehab classes as a part of their probationary term.” “Thank you. This helped me more than you could ever know.” (a meth addict) “From struggling with meth from age 14, I know the dangers of using it any and every way possible, being a kid and growing to age 20 I wish I would have known and been educated before I began to use. I cannot stress enough how kids need to be educated on the specifics. Thank you, God Bless.” “I’ve only lived here for a few months and I appreciate how much Daviess County is involved with getting to the problems. I hope with all my heart that you will be able and willing to keep fighting this fight. God Bless.” “I think this is real good for children to know about, hopefully they will not get into it.” “Used meth for 10 years. Live at Lighthouse and know first hand what it does to a person. The demonstrations are most helpful and really to the point. People need the information provided tonight for awareness and their own safety.” “We need more speakers in the schools.” “Teach the kids what the long term of drugs will be on a person body.” |
