MILTON EIGHTH GRADE STUDENTS LEARN HEROIN DOESN'T CARE HOW OLD YOU ARE

Eighth grade.

That's what took me to Milton in Rock County the other day.

Three kids overdosed on heroin in a park in the middle of the picturesque little town of about 5,000 people.  One almost died.  He probably would have if a local heroin addict hadn't been nearby with a drug called Narcan.  Narcan is an "opioid antagonist" that police say he used to revive the boy -- who, like his friends, was in eighth grade.
