四位丧子母亲走进校园讲芬太尼之害：依“雷恩法”给六至十二年级学生上防毒与纳洛酮课
俄克拉何马州四位因芬太尼失去孩子的母亲近几周走遍全州校园，给学生讲芬太尼的危害，10月30日见报。她们本周早些时候在麦克莱恩县布兰查德市布兰查德中学作了分享，有的学生听得落泪，有的急着提问。
俄克拉何马州议会上个会期通过法律，强制要求六至十二年级学生接受芬太尼滥用预防教育，这部法律以19岁的雷恩·里斯命名，她因服用掺入芬太尼的假冒赞安诺而丧生。四位母亲讲述了各自的孩子杰弗里、杰茜、汉娜和雷恩的故事。
失去儿子杰弗里的梅丽莎·巴普蒂斯特说：“这些都是我们的孩子，他们每个人都以为自己吃的是别的东西，结果却是芬太尼。”杰茜的母亲克里斯蒂·奥谢尔含泪对学生说，希望他们记住这些面孔，因为将来总会面临选择与决定。
学生们在课上学到，只要铅笔尖大小的芬太尼就足以致多人死亡，芬太尼无味无嗅，中毒发作很快、必须快速反应，还学了如何识别过量征兆和使用纳洛酮急救。雷恩的母亲卡拉·卡洛克说，希望学生们听了这些故事后，在艰难时刻能作出不同的决定，因为一时冲动的决定可能带来永久后果。
“雷恩法”还包括强制性的心理健康与自杀预防教育，母亲们在课上也讲了贩毒的后果。她们表示，未来几周将继续到全州学校巡回宣讲。

Four Oklahoma Mothers Who Lost Children to Fentanyl Teach in Schools under Rain's Law: Report from Blanchard Middle School
Blanchard, McLean County, Oklahoma — Four Oklahoma mothers who lost children to fentanyl have spent recent weeks visiting schools across the state to teach students about its dangers, as reported on October 30. Earlier this week they presented at Blanchard Middle School, where some students were moved to tears and others were eager to ask questions.
Last session, Oklahoma lawmakers mandated fentanyl abuse prevention education for students in grades 6 through 12. The law is named Rain's Law, after Rain Reece, who died at 19 after taking a counterfeit Xanax laced with fentanyl. The four mothers tell the stories of their children: Jeffrey, Jacee, Hannah and Rain.
"These are our children," said Melissa Baptiste, who lost her son Jeffrey. "Each one of them took something they thought was something else, and it ended up being fentanyl." Kristy O'Shell, Jacee's mother, tearfully told students she wants them to remember these faces, because they will eventually be faced with choices and decisions.
Students learned that a pencil-tip amount of fentanyl can kill multiple people, that it is odorless and tasteless, that poisoning happens quickly and requires a fast reaction, and how to recognize an overdose and administer Narcan. Rain's mother, Karla Carlock, said she hopes the stories help students make a different decision in a hard moment, because an impulsive decision can have permanent consequences.
Rain's Law also includes mandatory mental health and suicide prevention education, and the mothers also taught the consequences of distributing drugs. The group said it will continue traveling to schools across the state in the coming weeks.
