In a shocking incident at an elementary school in Amherst County, seven children were exposed to the deadly opioid, Fentanyl. Two community caregivers now face charges pertaining to drug trafficking involving a minor. While investigations are still ongoing, it is believed the drugs may have been unintentionally transported to the school within a lunch bag by one of the caregivers.
The affected students, who unknowingly came into contact with the narcotic while sharing candies during lunch, are recovering steadily. Superintendent of Amherst County Public Schools, Dr. William Wells, mentioned in an interview that the students were tired but doing well after the incident.
