The last year has been a life-altering experience, both for me and my entire family, as we learn to live without the presence of our two oldest sons. It is amazing that one decision, a short moment in time, could change the course of our future forever. Our sons Nick and Jack passed away on June 14, 2015 after attending graduation parties with friends. What we now know is that they were participating in underage drinking, and at some point during the night they were both offered a pill and they took it. The pill they took was oxycotin. I was they one to discover Jack unresponsive in his bed, and later that morning paramedics pronounced Nick dead in our basement.
Nick and Jack’s story is one you have likely heard before, and will likely hear again, and that is why we have created the 525 Foundation. We plan to do everything we can to prevent a story like theirs to come across your news feed again, affecting another family as tragically as ours. Life is so precious, and young people often feel invincible, and we feel it is our duty to spread the knowledge necessary for young adults to make smart decisions so that they can make the most of their futures.
Found this on FB.. from what it sounds like the graduation party was AT THEIR HOUSE… was the alcohol their parents’ and where did the Oxycodone come from.. From the parent’s medicine cabinet… didn’t say anything about someone else dying or anyone being charged with providing the Oxycodone illegally that contributed to both kids death.
Maybe the parent’s OUTRAGE is because they didn’t provide proper supervision for the party in their house and/or didn’t lock up their alcohol and/or condoned the under age drinking.
I feel sorry for their loss, but.. there seems to be a lot of guilty to go around for this bad outcome.
