Bowling Green, KY – Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway says he's concerned that many illegal prescriptions are arriving in Kentucky from the state of Florida. He's also concerned that many of those prescriptions are ending up in the hands of young people. Law enforcement officials in the Bluegrass State are urging parents to talk with their children about the dangers of taking medications that were prescribed for someone else.
