Mother Regrets Not Finding Heroin in Son's Bedroom

After assembling family members and friends for an intervention in her home Tuesday evening, Diana Rempleton was amazed to not find any heroin in her son Jake's bedroom.

The group assembled at the home around seven in the evening and watched in awe as the 17 year olds room was ransacked in search of traces of the illegal substance. When the young man returned home from choir practice at 8:30, family members searched for needle marks on his arms and legs.

"I was so positive he was on the smack, and I told everyone about his problem," Rempleton said between sobs. "It's just a shame that I didn't find anything."

Rempleton had suspected that her son Jake was a serious heroin user since viewing the Fox news special "The secret dangers of Heroin," because of a pink and green jelly bracelet he came home wearing after attending a church carnival with friends.

Rempleton's son, Jake is an honors student in his senior year at Westminster High. After graduation he plans on attending Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music in Singapore on a scholarship.

"I didn't mean to disappoint my mother," Jake said.
