You never know what might work. What might hit a chord to keep someone from starting down a bad path or get them to turn around and come back.

With that in mind, the Safe Communities Coalition of Hunterdon and Somerset is offering a video documentary called 'Pills To Heroin' in hopes of saving someone. With the explosion of heroin addiction happening in New Jersey it certainly can't hurt. As a dad, I was touched most by a father talking about the changes in his daughter as she spiraled downward in her addiction and became physically violent towards him and his wife, all being told with the visual juxtaposition of showing old family video of her as a little girl riding her bicycle. He eventually had to put her out of the house to protect his own wife. Imagine making that choice as a parent. It's so heartbreaking. Please share this video with every parent you know.
