Youth Plea to Their Parents


Some First Nations children in a remote northwestern Ontario reserve have written a heartbreaking letter to their drug-addicted parents.

The Grade Six students from Cat Lake write that they want their parents to stop doing drugs because it hurts their families.

Community leaders figure that between 70 and 80 per cent of the adults are hooked on narcotic pain killers OxyContin or Percocets.
