Not every student will raise their hand or knock on your door. Some will test you, ignore you, or make themselves easy to overlook. But research consistently tells us that a single caring, consistent adult relationship at school is one of the most powerful protective factors a child can have.

You don't have to fix everything. You just have to show up — with a genuine smile, a remembered detail, a moment of real attention. For a child who may not have much of that outside your walls, it can be everything.

PUBLIC SAFETY ALERT: Fentanyl-Laced Tablets Shaped as Cartoon Characters

The Huntington Police Department would like to alert the community that yesterday, the Huntington Violent Crime Drug Task Force seized more than 900 multi-colored tablets pressed into the shape of a popular cartoon character. The tablets were molded to resemble an emblem from the "Transformers" series. They were brightly colored and approximately the size of a child’s vitamin, increasing the likelihood that they could be mistaken for candy.

Preliminary field testing conducted by investigators indicates the tablets tested positive for M**A (commonly known as “ecstasy” or “molly”) as well as fentanyl, a highly potent and potentially lethal synthetic opioid that has been linked to hundreds of thousands of overdose deaths nationwide.

While M**A itself presents significant health risks, the presence of fentanyl dramatically increases the likelihood of overdose and death. These tablets are commonly distributed and sold as ecstasy in street-level transactions and in club environments. With the addition of fentanyl, even a single tablet may prove fatal.

The Huntington Police Department strongly urges parents and guardians to speak with their children and teenagers about the serious dangers of consuming unknown substances. These tablets are intentionally designed to appeal to younger individuals, and their candy-like appearance poses a particular risk to small children who may unknowingly ingest them.

We strongly urge anyone with information regarding the distribution of illegal substances, drug activity, or other criminal behavior to contact us:

Be aware of a new tactic being used by the cartel to make lethal drugs "taste like candy". They are continuing to target kids.

Officials say the drugs were being peddled on social media apps.

Have you heard of Nitazenes? (pronounced ny-TAH-zeens) They are synthetic opioids that are many times stronger than fentanyl. The scariest part? Narcan may not be enough to save you if you overdose. In many cases, even multiple doses can fail — or only buy minutes before the drug takes over again.

Fentanyl and nitazines are often added to street drugs and counterfeit medications. They are powerful, and just a tiny dose can lead to overdose and death.
