In a survey of local Fairfax County Schools, more than one in every 100 8th through 12th grader admitted to using heroin, and about half of those reported using it within the last 30 days. Lannes' father commented, "This drug has invaded our community, which we thought would never be in our community."
White House drug czar John Walters gave a message to parents about heroin use: The first time parents find out about it is probably not the first time the teen has used it. "Remember that when you find your child and they want to lie to you up and down and sideways," said Walters. "'It's the first time I've ever done it.' No, no, no, no. That's the drugs talking."
