OUTSIDE READING #6

In the October issue of People Magazine, I read an article about a man named Lance Merrill and his story about his 19-year-old daughter, Jani's death.Jani died in 2006 of a heroine overdose after three times in rehab and many attempts to quit. Lance started DADD (dads against drug dealers) after she died. He put his daughter's drug dealer in jail for 81 days and is still catching many more. People are questioning him and his authority but also many are very thankful for what he has done for this huge problem in Utah. The Merril family has helped an enormous amount of drug addicts and their families because they don't want the same thing that happened to them, happen to others.
