This article is about three kids aged 5, 8 and 13. They had to go to hospital and were very lucky to survive because they ingested synthetic cannabis. "The children were not smoking it. We are still working through how it got in their bodies" says Detective Senior Sergeant Grant Ferguson. In my opinion, the kids found the synthetic drug at home and thought it was food and decided to eat it, meaning the parents are responsible for having use of a Class A drug inside their house for kids to find.
Drug use in New Zealand is starting to get out of hand. 'The Porirua sample contained a synthetic cannabanoid called 5F-ADB, which was linked to the unexplained overdose deaths of 10 people in Japan in 2014, Bell said.' Teenagers have been heard of doing Class A drugs like LSD and magic mushrooms. Things like this are really bad for a teenagers mental and physical health because they are still growing until late 20s. So by them taking drugs will make them less motivated to do anything in the long run.

Great first response. I agree with you, that the parents are responsible.
