“To those using drugs at New Bedford beaches: don’t leave your used needles where children can step on them.”

“Earlier today myself and my husband and our little one were out fishing and this is what I almost stepped on.

I get that there’s a huge percentage of people using drugs/needles in the city of New Bedford but please for the love of God don’t leave this around where people can step on them or where there might be children with their parents.

Come on y’all can do better than that. Parents please be careful when you go and take your kids fishing or swimming down at the South End beaches. No judgment on people in active use or are trying to become clean, just throw away your needles PLEASE.

GOD BLESS” -Jenn Bretal.
