East Liverpool, OH: Police Combat an Outbreak of Opioid Abuse

EAST LIVERPOOL, OH - OCTOBER 8, 2016: An East Liverpool police officer searches for drug paraphernalia in a teenagers room. The teen's mother called the police after her daughter vandalized her car. She asked and invited the police officer into her home, to search her daughters room and take out whatever drugs he found. She said I'm tired of her using and I dont know what to do about it. Just take it all.. The officer went into the girl's room, searching for drug paraphernalia - pipes, bottle caps filled with water, burnt and missing spoons (the mother complained that all her spoons were missing) even ratchets from a ratchet set used to drain heroine into syringes. Dont touch anything in this room without gloves, said the officer, the fentanyl can kill you [but] you are enabling your daughter by letting her come back and living here.
