They Lost Their Teens to Counterfeit Drugs

Four families come together to talk about the loss of their young children. They say their children purchased counterfeit pills on social media, and had no idea they were laced with fentanyl, a deadly drug that killed their children within moments. These families say it only took one pill – and in some cases just a quarter of a pill – to kill their children after consumption. The families are demanding changes to laws, policies, and accountability from social media companies. (20098)

These parents should be in jail for neglecting thier children.

[OhioBoii]

Damnnn. These drugs are taking the lives of younger n younger kids each year!!!

[kathleenowen]

If you take illegal drugs you are a drug user. Sad but true.

[dumbidiot]

Hmm, let me take an unmarked pill of unknown origin, surely nothing bad will happen.

[mawgraw]

My heart goes out to these parents, and the many others that are suffering through these circumstances.

[jonbourgoin]

Fentynal just seems like bad business for drug dealers. Why sell a drug that is just going to kill your customer base? I'm genuinely curious about this.

[AngelaJustAngela]

Let it be said to not take unmarked pills or pills not described by your doctor :> be safe yall God bless

[mirandarobbinsVO]

Mentioning the weed smoking only makes weed seem to the audience that it’s a dangerous drug, a gateway to other drugs. I hate it when people think about weed like that. Weed is medicine, Percocet and fentanyl are drugs.

[HouseofBrady]

why did she even bother mentioning the let me guess, the " gateway drug " excuse

[emilylouden]

I’m not denying the fact we need to charge these dealers, but something needs done about the doctors that got these kids hooked in the first place

[faith_God]

Rest in Heaven 🙏🏼 prayers for healing and comfort .

[emilylouden]

Obviously these parent weren’t paying attention to their daughter, or they would know that no first time user knows to cut the pill into 4ths and keep a straw to snot them with lying around ... she was on drugs they’re just those parents that think my child does nothing wrong. Educate yourselves so you can see the signs and educate your children before someone else does.

Sorry but if you choose to buy a drug and consume it that's YOUR problem. Where did the dealers get it from? It's a long chain of supply. All these parents saying they weren't drug users....sorry but they were amd it's sad that it.wasnt noticed earlier. This is why you monitor your kids phones, and you be a parent not let a screen be the parent.

[benoverbich]

The first lady smiled thru the whole interview of her son's death that's ...

[jamiepasinella]

So very sad...my brothers step daughter Erin died a couple of years ago from fentanyl and the girl that sold it to her was arrested and charged last year..Erins mother died of covid last year also..it's all just sofa king sad😔

[indigosoul]

What is Fentanyl? Is it also in Europe?

[RING_FF]

يارب إليك بحق إسمك الأعضم أن ترزق صاحب اليد التي ستدعــمنـــي با متابعة ورزق لاينتهي وتوفيق لانهايه 💖🕊️, ...

[marciebigley]

How about some personal accountability?! I don't believe drug dealers should be charged with murder! It's your choice to buy and consume. You know its a risk every time you buy on the street.

[GummyBearWA]

Fentanyl is not poison ffs. Your kid bought drugs on the net when you weren't more proactive in helping him manage his pain.

[dumbasses_R_us]

This is what happens when you don't listen to the cop in the lion suit in 5th grade. 🤣
