Erase the stigma, New Mexico needs to get rid of the stigma on our youth. Our youth need us more than ever right now. Labeling someone and bullying them to their death is not ok. Our youth go through soo much at school and social media and need more support. It is not ok to start rumors about someone when they miss school. His school was aware why he was out of the hospital for a month and a half. After his funeral, I was told the rumors Alex faced when he went back to school causing the stigma on him to make it harder for him. Being labeled as a drug addict when the students were told he was in a rehabilitation center is not ok as they were shown records of his hospital stay when he was given a pill laced with fentanyl on November 29, 2021. Either way if he was in the hospital from nearly dying, the school could have used that opportunity to talk to the students about fentanyl poisoning and what could happen and how Alex was saved by Narcain. Instead, he was put down, labeled as white trash, labeled for trying drugs. Alex needed a better support system, sadly I shouldn’t have put him in that school and will one day hear back from them on why these rumors were started about my son after he passed. This added more trauma to the pain of losing him to hear everything following his funeral from students that went to the school. The school didn’t do any special tribute to Alex for what would have been his graduation in 2023 and instead told the students not to talk to me anymore. The school still does not allow education about fentanyl poisoning. I pray that the staff learned from his death and are being there for students struggling instead of labeling them and treating them different because of their background due to environmental circumstances of his other parent. Talk about abuse by the systems in place to help your child can be detrimental to their health. If I could turn back time I would have told him he didn’t have to go to school Monday, February 28, 2022. Thank you to everyone who has listened and been by my side.
