Meth Epidemic in America

Ricky and His Father at home. His father has been an alcoholic since he is 13 years old. He also became a Meth addict and Meth ‘cooker’, manufacturing the drug and selling it to his children and others until he was arrested. He was recently released from jail. Ricky has been a Meth user for several years and was severely burned in November of 2004 when the Meth Lab he was operating with a few of his friends blew up and resulted in more than 40% of his body burned. He is still struggling with the pain of the burns and does not go out of the house much.
