Brian Dodgeon, education expert and 60 years old, was arrested after a 15-year-old girl named Issy Reilly-Jones died when she took 2 ecstasy pills at a party hosted by Dodgeon's 14-year-old daughter.
Apparently the kids were drinking when Dodgeon's daughter told her friends that her dad had some weed somewhere. Dodgeon himself was not home when this occurred. When the kids went looking for the weed, they found some pills stashed away in a room and ''passed them around like sweets''. Issy died from heart failure after taking the ecstacy and 3 other kids were taking to the hospital with convulsions. Their condition is stable at this time.
Brian Dodgeon was arrested on suspicion of drug possession and child abandonment.

My take on this:
I honestly can not believe how an education expert, and especially at that age, can leave his 14-year-old to party at home whithout him being there. I also can not believe how he can allow himself to be in possession of, or use, these kinds of drugs especially when he has kids this age. He should've known better. In my opinion this guy deserves to go to jail. Of course you can say that it's the kids' fault for trying out pills they know are dangerous, but then again they are teenagers who do experiment when they get the chance or are forced to by peer pressure, but I think it's clear that if this guy would've been the rolemodel he should've been none of this would've happened.
Dear Kevin,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThis is very tragic news. I think it is indeed the father's fault. Fourteen is very young age, also for drinking.
This man, with his profession has really failed at being a parent and should go to jail in my opinion.
