Alarming Increase in Child Drug Poisonings Prompts Doctors’ Warning

by time news

Since the turn of the year, around ten children and young people have been in the hospital and treated for drug poisoning.

It worries – and now several doctors warn of a drug situation that could escalate.

– We think there are an alarming number of cases in a short time and we are worried that this will continue, says doctor Laura Mertes.

Laura Mertes urges guardians and other adults to read the police parenting school leaflet on drugs. ”There you can get information on how to detect abuse in your children,” she says.
