OLYMPIA, Wash. — Within days of her son’s death from a fentanyl overdose, Maria Trujillo Petty felt she had to do something to educate students on the dangers of the opioids.
“I said from the very beginning, I was not going to let my son's death be in vain," said Petty.
Petty’s son Lucas died in October of 2022. She said the 16-year-old smoked marijuana laced with fentanyl.
“You think it could never happen to your child,” said Petty. “It was a willful ignorance that kept me feeling safe for a very long time.”
