You know nothing about parenting...

A child is a child for Pete sake!!! You don't leave a 13 year old to his devices. That's inexcusable sir!!!

That's why we have special schools, and reformatory institutions, including private boarding houses... No child below 18 should be given that ridiculous amount of liberty!!!..

That means you have to hold his hands from age 13 till he turns 17 right, never leave him alone.

Dude stop ranting. You can’t handcuff yourself to your kid, some kids due to peer pressure or their inquisitive nature try drugs and the unfortunate ones that are prone to addiction can’t stop. Bro if your brain has a tendency for addiction it takes a lot of effort to stop, we are wired differently some continue to chase the dragon(chasing the initial high) while some can stop. I am very lucky, I have tried some addictive substances but got hooked to none, infact I hate things that make me high.

It is an unfortunate situation, reminds me of the very sad death of Heath Ledger(that portrayed the joker character) very unfortunate end even after everyone tried to make him to stop drugs including himself trying to stop but all to no avail. Just don’t try it if you have not because you don’t know if you have an addictive brain or not. The mom is not to blame like that, I’m sure she tried her best.

Says a junkie. Why hide it from the world? Now that the boy is dead, did she keep it to herself? If she so much want to create awareness, why did she do it in her son's demise? Is it not better she created the awareness while he draws breathe than so that people can support her and come to her aid with advice on how they handle their addiction or that of their child? Of what use is the awareness when he's forever gone? Suddenly she feels relevant in dishing out advice while she neglected the fact that she is a terible parent.

jeffizy:
Addiction for 3 years, died short of his 17 birthday.

Now, is that a failed parenting or misplaced priority from the kid.

Lol... You are trying to kill the simple argument by over-simplifying it.

At 13, the main foundation of discipline and good behavior ought to have been firmly and solidly laid. From then on, any deviation in conduct or behavior should be easily noted by any observant parent, guardian or tutor.

This doesn't necessitate dogging every single step of the child... Watchful observation and quick interventions at any change in pattern will do the needful, till the child gets to the age of full independence, by which time, the ingrained values would have become second nature!!!

This is not quite easy in all cases, but it is achievable if any parent puts his or her heart to it.

You can’t follow a kid wherever S/he goes, moreover you can’t report a kid for a drug that is legal abroad. Don’t put the blame on the mom, you are not in their house to know their efforts.

As a person that was flogged incessantly growing up. I mean EVERY SINGLE DAY, both in school and at home.... beating DOES NOT CHANGE a person...it only makes them pretend in your presence or fear you.

You should discipline your kids from an early age (not flogging) and make them know WHY they shouldn’t do somethings by SHOWING them the end product of those things.
No matter how much you talk, images do a better job of teaching children.

In adolescence children feel “hated” by parents at the slightest caution. Whatever his/her tough friends are doing as habits he/she will most likely do... they can’t talk to their parents about things because they do not have an actual relationship.
This Is reason why everybody in a family assumes all is well until something drastic happens (which they usually discover when it’s beyond repair).

If you have resolved to “beat the devil”out of your children, please also resolve to love the heaven out of them and equally reward them for good deeds as you chastise them for bad ones.
In all you do, DO NOT TALK DOWN ON YOUR KID or reaffairm pronounciations on their life because it causes low self esteem which is the Kickstarter for all other things children do as adolescents.

“We turned out fine” because our parents beat us, does not mean our parents “know” who we really are beyond what we act for them at home.
Except you aspire to have the same exact relationship your parents have with you (I want to assure you that you DON’T) unlearn the acts of parenting that have been enforced on you by your own childhood. It is not the answer to the childhood of today or tomorrow.

Boy never had a childhood, so many child actors with drug problems or dead, pressure to grow up quick.


blame his selfish parents.

It's still baffles me how some kids growing up are more inquisitive attracted to these lifestyles and eventually develop affinity with the thing causing the addiction than kids with or without normal upbringing will retract immediately from these lifestyles. The questions are, why are some kids prone to addiction more than some kids, what is the root cause of addiction. Does it has to do with some part of our brain ( maybe the cerebral carted, responsible for reasoning and experiencing emotions). I need answers to these questions.

MrBrownJay1:
some kids are not fully emotionally grown at 13 to be using marijuana, let alone fentanyl at 16yrs old. no matter how hard this must be, the mother should take part of the blame for this tragedy. your kids shouldnt be anywhere near marijuana at 13yrs old, and if he was then she probably should have handcuffed him until he get help (instead of trying to pretend that everything was ok to the world, while it certainly wasnt). since he was 13, he should have been under extra supervision and be done with any acting etc....

they were so focused on pretending that everything was ok and not letting people know what was going on, that it made it easier for that child to upgrade his drug taking to fentanyl... at 16!!!!! see how these white kids are dying from opioid overdose... failed parenting of the highest order!

very apt. Failed parenting indeed. These are the examples of deadbeat parents. It's obvious they were so focused on the boy's acting career than his mental health or em0ti0nal well being. Many of these whites are like that. They keep pushing the kids to go to auditi0ns up0n auditi0ns, and when the kid keep facing rejecti0n, they make the kid feel like he's at fault.

People with the IQ of an empty bucket who cannot make logical arguments resort to character assasination and other stupid gimmicks. Why can’t you make a logical argument, are yourself brain cells all dead? I only read the first sentence you wrote I’m sure the rest is garbage.

This is where my initial post comes to reality my brodas (igbos)abroud do any thing for money hope the answer is clear now.

For Fentanyl to be this potent, that means it's probably prescription only so how did this guy manage to get it? I just wonder. Such a waste of one's life.

asanwafo:
Result of over pampering at the early stage. This will happen to most Nigerian children in the next 10yrs

i doubt it.

themonk:

Most of the kids who turned out pristine, who followed them anywhere??! Why are you so caught up in that argument??!...

Child upbringing is in stages, and very systematic... The foundational stage is very key to success (Birth to 12 years).

Ingrained morals from birth can stay with a child any and every where he goes.

Babatunde40:
Some Nigerians think only cocaine is a hard drug. There are many

The Fentanyl that killed this guy is a very bad drug. It is a pain reliever. If you have heard of morphine, this Fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine

Morphine is C₁₇H₁₉NO₃

Fentanyl is C₂₂H₂₈N₂O. That is "die well"

2mg of Fentanyl can do what 1000mg of tramadol cannot do.

Since Fentanyl is for severe pain relief, it instantly blocks the pain receptors of the brain. If you are on Fentanyl and you are involved in an accident, you will not feel anything. You will just bleed to death unknowingly

Cool. Where can one get it in Nigeria?

What rubbish is this one saying?! Just because you tried hard drugs and didn't get hooked doesn't mean everyone could have a resistive tendency to addiction. You rubbished someone's comment as a rant yet you provided no solution to curtail any further happenings.

The fact still remains that at that tender age of 13, no child should be hooked on any hard drugs to the point of moving on to opioid. It doesn't make any sense that people who should know better keep shying away from the fact that parents play an important role in moulding a child, peer pressure or not.

The parent failed in setting the boy's feet on the right path early in life. Stop trying to rub a balm on a viral infection, it won't work!

Emmaomotob:
Foolish person. How come Nigeria is reeling in poverty even with the so called worship of yahweh or whatever its name is? Do you know how many homosexuals and drug addicts are in Nigeria? Buffoon.

LOL. Then comes the violent reaction of a junkie. You've always been resistant to logical remarks, hence your prequel attack on that post. Since I knew there was something wrong and as you've stated that you do drugs, I had to call it out, you junkie. Anyways, you shouldn't get involved in a thread when you don't have meaningful things to say. No one has ever been punished for not having an opinion.

Misplace priority from the kid.

He chose his own path therefore he must tale responsibility for the consequences!
