Sue Kruczek Talks On Need for Narcan in Schools on Fox & Friends

GUILFORD, CT - A Guilford mother who lost her son to a drug overdose and has become one of Connecticut's best known advocates in fighting the ongoing drug epidemic will be making her third appearance Thursday morning in front of million of viewers on Fox & Friends to talk about the opioid and heroin crisis.

Sue Kruczek will be on the air, live at the New York studios, at 5:50 a.m.

She was part of a panel discussion concerning the availability of the opioid reversal drug Narcan in schools and efforts to have more schools stock the life-saving substance.

Many schools require Narcan in schools; Connecticut does not.

Asked whether Narcan was needed in schools by the Fox & Friends news commentator, Sue Kruczek said emphatically, "Yes." "They are the first responders," she said, the ones who can get to the kids first.

"This addiction is ruthless, it can happen to anyone. The ones who scare me the most are the ones who say it can't happen to me, it can't happen in our school," Sue Kruczek said.

Sue Kruczek, whose son Nick died at age 20 of a drug overdose, caught the attention of the Fox television show when story circulated last year a about a letter she wrote to President Donald Trump concerning the lack of action the country has taken to stem the drug epidemic.

That letter caught Trump’s attention, who watched Sue Kruczek on her first Fox & Friends appearance, and tweeted: "Thank you to Sue Kruczek, who lost her wonderful and talented son Nick to the opioid scourge, for your kind words while on Fox & Friends. We are fighting this terrible epidemic hard — Nick will not have died in vain!”
