Drug scandal in a Hungarian high school

40 high school students were found in possession of drugs in two high schools in Balatonfüred, borsonline.hu reports. There was a similar scandal in this town last year too. Then it was 20 students in a different school.

The parents are terrified. The police searched the houses of dozens of students and found several who were not only using drugs but also selling them.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the drug mafia is alive and well in this town. The scandal just broke out; Index reported that students from Lóczy Lajos High School were caught up in drug related issues in the middle of the Baccalaureate exams. There are one-time users, dealers and minors too, who have been found in possession of drugs.

Blood and urine samples

Last Monday police unexpectedly searched the houses of several dozen students. The policemen arrived at dawn, they turned everything upside down searching for drugs. They asked for blood and urine samples and interrogated the students who then admitted everything.

Some parents commented anonymously to Index that the headmistress asked to see all the students one by one during the next day, and told them that they should start looking for a new school – they have two weeks to do this — or they will be expelled.

When Borsonline.hu visited the school, the headmistress said that the police came to her last week to ask for her help with the case. “I did not call the students into my office. They were waiting for me the next morning together with their frightened parents. They said the police caught them with drugs. They have been using drugs on school events, field trips and ski camps. The teenagers were crying, it seemed like the events have broken them” said Katalin Duna, Headmistress.
