Family Unable to Help Dallas Teen

Sergio and Maria Aviles never expected to bury one of their children. But at age 17, their daughter Sarah died of a drug overdose. She was addicted to a concoction called "cheese," which is a deadly combination of heroin and Tylenol.
"A pretty girl with a heart-shaped face and a 'thug life' tattoo, she died after two years of addiction, two stints in drug treatment, and fights with parents who tried to save her..."
Sarah's trouble started when her parents divorced. She took it hard, and drugs became her coping mechanism. Her parents hope that by sharing their story, they'll spare other parents from experiencing the same heartache. Source: The Dallas Morning News
