The Plano school district is trying to get a message across to parents about the potent drug fentanyl.
Sienna Vaughn thought it was a common painkiller, instead, it had a deadly dose of fentanyl.Last month, a Plano Senior High School junior overdosed and died.RELATED:They later learned she had purchased the pill from someone who told her it was Percocet, a prescription pain medication.
"They didn’t know what they had. They didn’t know it was fentanyl," said Stephanie Vaughn, Sienna’s mother.Texas bill would classify fentanyl overdoses as poisonings, allowing murder charges for dealers Senate Bill 645 passed unanimously this week, allowing medical examiners to designate fentanyl deaths as poisonings. This will allow prosecutors to charge distributors with murder.
In 2022, the Drug Enforcement Administration said it seized more than 11 million fake prescription pills with deadly doses of fentanyl.Plano ISD hopes to get that message across to parents.Federal investigators arrested Brinson Wednesday, describing him as a major supplier of deadly fentanyl-laced pills being used by middle and high school students in Carrollton.
"We think that there’s a lot of information that’s being collected by the police and the hospitals, and even doctors, you know, school people, that is not really getting rolled out to the community fast enough," Sienna’s father, Ryan Vaughn, added.Plano police are also hosting a forum on fentanyl next week at the Plano Events Center.
