Ruban Roberts, CEO of RER Consulting and Creator of the Teen Talk program, spoke with CBS Miami about a recent incident where several Lauderdale Lakes middle school students were taken to area hospitals after they didn’t feel well. The three students who were “demonstrating signs of an overdose” from an unknown substance were taken to HCA Florida Northwest Hospital and Broward Health Medical Center by Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue, according to Battalion Chief Michael Kane.
Roberts says avoiding incidents like this starts with the parents. He suggests parents have conversations with their kids about what’s going on in the community and encourages parents to share information with their kids that will be helpful in their decision making.
