GRIEVING MOM FIGHTS DRUG ABUSE
Many parents are in danger of enduring the heartache that gnaws at
Johnna Cook - but they don't even realize it.
When Cook learned that her teen daughter, Kayla, was abusing drugs,
she went into overdrive. She and Kayla's father shelled out $33,000
for nine months in a drug treatment program in Hamilton County. After
that, Kayla stayed clean for a couple of months late last year. But
the allure of drugs was too strong.
On the night of May 13, Kayla went to hang out with friends, and
ended up with multiple drugs coursing through her veins. The
18-year-old girl lapsed into a coma. Three days later, she died at
Hospice of Cincinnati in Blue Ash.
