okay tell me about garrett that it was april of 2024 that you said he passed from fentanyl poisoning yes but i want to go further back when did he you were telling me earlier he started dabbling with drugs early on
6:12
yeah um he was about 13 and i had never had any indication that he was even dabbling in anything at 13 you really should still be to me playing with trucks in the dirt or doing something riding your bike with your friends And he had went to stay with a friend and the mom was supposed to be there all day to supervise him.
6:32
And she was, but she was sick in bed.
6:35
And so they were kind of like left unsupervised.
6:37
And when I picked him up, I knew something was wrong.
6:40
We walked in the house and I was behind him and I could kind of see him weaving and, you know, bumping into this wall.
