A 7-year-old told her bus driver she couldn’t wake her parents. Police found them dead at home.

[Disir]

For more than a day, the 7-year-old girl had been trying to wake her parents.

Dutifully, she got dressed in their apartment outside Pittsburgh on Monday morning and went to school, keeping her worries to herself. But on the bus ride home, McKeesport, Pa., police say, she told the driver she’d been unable to rouse the adults in her house.

Inside the home, authorities found the bodies of Christopher Dilly, 26, and Jessica Lally, 25, dead of suspected drug overdoses, according to police.

Also inside the home were three other children — ages 5 years, 3 years and 9 months.

The children were unharmed but still taken to a hospital to be checked out, then placed with the county’s department of children, youth and families.

The case cast a light on Allegheny County’s epidemic of drug overdoses — and their impact on families.

Where are you at that you have 3 children and do this crap? Dealing needs to be considered murder.

They sound like upstanding pillars of the community.

5 kids and drug abusers. While I don't know, I suspect there is a good chance the taxpayers were supporting their kids.

Kinda makes you wish you could give the little girl a hug. I know it would probably help me more than her but that story hurts to even think about.

Take a different stance on your reply ... while it should and would make you feel better, you have no idea how great an impact your kind gesture would have on the child. Make no mistake ... you will be remembered for a long time in that child's memory.

Read an article this morning about a young boy who called cops and said he wanted to run away from home. An officer showed up at his door to talk to him and learned he had nothing in his bedroom. His mother had fallen on hard times when she had to move from another state to care for an elder family member. Officer went inside and there was nothing to be found anywhere. He made a few phone calls and later came back with new furniture for the boy and his brother's bedrooms and toys. Then others came with furnishing for the house, clothes and other stuff the family needed ... and that they had enjoyed in their original home.

My son had a similar situation - got a call to a known "problem" home, called for backup. While the backups took care of the drug induced melee inside the house, my son grabbed the little girl and took her outside and took care of her because he didn't think she needed to be listening to what was going on inside. He did have to call the child protective services to take the little girl ... but he did the right thing to take her out of the fray.

Not all cops are the bastards they are being promoted to be these days. These are not rare occurrences - they do these types of things every single day - it just goes ignored in the media.

That poor child, living with two decomposing corpses.

My step granddaughter was just sentenced to 15 years (no drugs involved). Her 7 year old daughter has gone to live with her dad. Poor kid is okay okay okay, then wigs out.

As long as politicians continue to push for decriminalization -- starting with pot -- the message sent is that recreational drug use is OK.
This story and the heroin epidemic in middle America are the inevitable result.

Very sad. I imagine it went something like this:

These people didn't die of a pot overdose. Nobody does. And I'm okay with recreational drug use if children aren't involved and the drug is not known to make people excessively violent. It doesn't mean it's good; but govt. needs to protect freedom, not restrict it.

Then heroin is just perfect. Rather than call it an overdose epidemic, call it a breakout of freedom.

Oh, well why don't we just enslave everyone and make sure they can never make a "bad choice" ever again. After all, it's for their own good.

Pot is not a drug....Heroin is..Pot is a natural and not chemically increased in potency, like heroin...There is a difference..

Good riddance. People like this shouldn't have kids.

Though, the problem isn't drugs, but stupid people.

Drugs make people unpredictable, with that unpredictability possibly being violent. Death from a drug overdose is violence.
Criminalization is not necessarily a restriction on freedom. It's more an accountability for consequences of abused freedom.
Start with criminalizing pot. A substance that presents dangers that only the ignorant are unaware of.

Sometimes restrictions of accountability help people make prudent choices.

Pot is a THC laden substance. It is essentially a drug. It can cause lifelong, life-altering anxiety and depression issues, especially in younger, developing brains. People who endorse it as benign in spite of its inherent dangers are irresponsibly reckless and ignorant.
