The scream of a mother finding her child dead in bed is horrifying to hear
Something I'd prefer never had heard!
Absolutely gut wrenching to hear, you can’t unhear it.
My sister found her 2 year old in his bed: I will never forget that scream
Better think how bad mother she was before that her son decided for that, she even put camera to validate his privacy, something that for teen-ager is very important - horrible mother, she should act before he was in such emotional pain that he didn't cared about his life anymore
@@Hangman1I see that you've been very busy trolling with hurtful and ignorant comments. I see you.
So sad she went through a lot to have her miracle baby then lose him at 14 .
The scream of a mothers loss is absolutely heart wrenching
The scream of a mother finding her child dead is primal
The fact that this poignant documentary has just 30K views is criminal. This should be shown in schools, together with the video of that poor mother, as she finds her son dead from a fentanyl overdose… so incredibly sad.
to busy arguing about male female rubbish
@@andrewwright. yes, sadly. I will never understand why people invent artificial non-problems when America is full of actual tragedies to fix.
I agree with u, nevertheless education system now are eso corrupted and evil, they do the opposite of prevention. Some teachers or other staff drag kids into such shit! Sad but true
I’m showing this in my church 😢
Yo are
At this very moment my son is addicted to this drug. He has been to rehab twice. Stays clean for a few weeks and then back to the streets to get his fix. I tell my son just one pill will kill you, and he says, not me. I hate it when my phone rings, is this the call that no parent wants to get. I keep praying that my son will stop.
Have you tried substitute teraphy with bunorfine? It's highly effective.
@@julialoveslife3000 Have you tried it?
Get him a medical marijuna card amd tell him too get used too the Thc hi. Hell be able too do basic things on weed. Here in philly aka Zombie land. Weed has helped with fetulynal and alcahol abuse
@@julialoveslife3000hey julia
So very sorry to hear this, my 2 boys have both been addicted to meth, crack, cocaine.. you name they will do it for many years. I know all to well about the phone ringing or hearing a car door in the middle of the night…I truly wish this problem could somehow be fixed but the addicts loved ones are fighting a losing battle. All we can do is pray for them and lean on God. Prayers to all involved 🙏🏼
This is the saddest thing ive seen! I lost my only son and lost my only daughter!! My heart is forever broken and i will never be the same
Brandy I am just so sorry were they both due to drugs or was it some thing else either way your Heart is Broke if you ever need to talk I am just a message away God Bless
@@soitssharon thank you so very much and yes to fentenal
@brandyfuller515 what? You lost two children??
@@brandyfuller515 oh no I am so sorry this drug is Robbing us of our children we need to come together and put an end to it I am here if you need me
So very sorry, Brandy. I've lost 5 friends this year. Three died the same day from taking what they thought was a Xanax bar.
My son died from fentanyl poisoning 1.21.2024. That tiny pill not only killed my 17 year but killed his entire family. We are forever broken. Rest in peace my beloved. you will be forever loved and missed.
Part of the problem is young people think it will never happen to them. Lost my oldest grandchild to this! It obviously was not an intended death. It is so hard to get over this. His mother and sisters are hurting so bad, as are we. We miss him everyday!
😢 I'm sorry for your loss my family lost my Nephew to Fentanyl and as you miss your Grandson we miss my nephew my Brother will never really recover from this 😢
@@marciayoung8735 I am sorry for your loss as well. They had no idea how much they were loved!
I have 2 granddaughters. One 11 and the other is 6. This is a huge fear of mine. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Much love ❣️
You may correct me if I am wrong. As far as I am concerned a large part of the fentanyl drug components is contrabanded from Mexico and maybe other latin American countries. Is it not conceivable that all this is part of a war of attrition against the US, in connivance with the Mexican elite, in order to destroy the American populace from within to the core? The final purpose could be to regain the territory north of the Rio Grande lost in the war of 1845?
Was he bipolar
This mum lost her only son tragically and now she is a mother to many by possably saving their lives via the awesome work she does...educating kids about the dangers of this deadly drug.
Fentanyl is dead, they fighting nothing lmao, I take tranq!!
She failed as a mother of her son , now she looks for forgiveness
yeah - its not entertainment for a saturday night out - or a couple of lines anymore... its Russian Roulette every time... no fear .... total and deliberate disregard for the face of death each time...and NOT FUN... educate...
Why wasn’t this done for crack? Why don’t we treat all addicted the same, with love and compassion?
It's so sad
I lost my brother in 2012 over an overdose. This is so sad. And only getting worse.😟
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain you must feel. 💔
May God protect u🤲
So sorry for your loss 😢❤🙏🏻
My son died at the age of 36 a year ago cause of death fentanyl toxicity. The person who gave him this never was charged even though his phone messages did but they say you have to prove what he took was from this person . The drug dealer knew he would never be charged with my sin death . Was death worth getting High I’m sure now my son would say no . The pain is unbearable
So so sorry for your loss ..my heart breaks for you and everyone else who has lost someone to drug addiction. 😢❤🙏
God bless you.❤
❤
That Momma no doubt has saved lives. Bless her🙏
Thank you to Glenn and Texas picture documentaries!!! I have a 22 yr old son in rehab for Fentanyl right now. I already lost my 19 yr old stepson 4 yrs ago. This HAS TO STOP!!! By the way, we have 4 kids who are NOT addicted to anything. I don't know what makes one use and not the other but if you EVER find yourself complacent thinking it could NEVER be your child, think again!!! I wish every county in America would do what Glenn is doing!!!
Five to seven minutes before the person
stops breathing according to First Responders no wonder people are dropping like flies. Everyone is affected by this drug crisis. TY for being this video ❤️🙏.
I think that the breathing stops alot sooner, but the irreversible damage to the brain happens between 5-7minutes. You still have a chance after the breathing stops if help is near.
The worst part is the cops aren't going after the people who gave them the pills!
Because that will solve the problem right? Putting people in prison that have absolutely no impact on the supply chain.. hahaha, mor0ns
Police and sustemw in general evem doctors get part of the Profit of such businesses...sad but true
@@DETRACT0RD00Mit has nothing to do with whites thinking that experimenting with drugs is normal
I think they are now
@@aelobalthrop1413they sadly aren’t, at least for Josh. I don’t believe any consequences have come from whoever gave him the pills.
Hello all. I am a 59 year old Canadian man who worked for 21 years at the trade of Construction Millwright, I was working in the oilsands projects in Alberta at the time I started to be getting very bad pains in my back and tailbone area. It was sooo bad that upon waking one morning, I found I could barely walk. So I flew back home to Nova Scotia to find out I have spinal stenosis, X2 places, lower back and neck! I also found out I have what is called Retrolisthesis (tailbone issue). I never woke one morning and thought, today I will become an addict!
I am an addict from taking my meds as directed from my doctor. I did not wake up one morning and decided to become an addict. I found out at the age of 45 I have what was called degenerative disc disease. After more tests and scans, I was then told I have spinal stenosis, coupled with Retrolisthesis in tailbones. I was on the spot described as a chronic pain patient. I have tried just about every drug for pain management we currently have. All, 100% of the drugs came with very harmful side effects. Lucky me. I was then told to get a new doctor as my doctor had accepted work in another province. I now found out about with drawls from opiates, I had to face it, I was a junkie with no fix for the day! Took 2 years to find new doctor and now am prescribed 120 pills per month! I never asked for this addiction, it was kind of forced upon me if I wanted to control/manage my new life with chronic pain. Some days I can not walk due to nothing but pain! Oh I also have asked for mental healthcare as so many pills were now being taken, and can not get mental health if my life depended upon it!
P.S. Addicts are some times innocent folks with health issues and I am sure not one of these people asked to become an addict!
If we are still asking where the real problem comes from, I can sum it all up in one word. GREED end of story. It is sad that I had to become a person with a handi-cap to learn all this. How can we fix the drug issues? Again an answer with one word, EDUCATION for free not to only the privilleged rich folks!
What you're describing doesn't sound like addiction, it sounds like someone who is dependent on taking his medication.
Which many people with all sorts of different medical conditions are but you don't call them addicts. To me, there is a difference, but maybe it doesn't matter because it's a technicality and the bare facts of the matter is that you take pills every day and go through withdrawal if you don't.
I still think it's different tho. I feel like a person who goes through absolute misery if they don't take their insulin isn't addicted to insulin, they're dependent on taking their meds.
Just like a chronically ill person is dependent on taking their meds to go through the day.
It's very sad that many people who have chronic pain end up taking illicit and dangerous drugs from the streets because they're over prescribed dangerous medicine and then then when things happen like a doctor moves away, there is no plan for continuing or tapering off the meds. Which is so dangerous because you put people who already have medical issues through unnecessary withdrawal.
I have received much relief from my "Tens Machine"
Great experience to be a part of this.
It’s nice to put a face to the man who has brought us Texas Pictures! ❤️
@@nilsanarvaez7947 thank you 😊
Oh NVM now I see. Cool! I've been subbed to them for a while. Never knew he made an appearance here. Sad to have have been in these comments. My condolences to everyone
Thank you for doing the stories. They need to be told. Everyone thinks "not my kid". People need to realize that yes it CAN happen to their child. These videos should be watched by parents and their children.
@@Nigelsmom2136 thank you for your comments
All these ppl are HEROES, the parents, families who share their stories, the filmmaker who did such a great job, I’m Canadian, I’ve watched a few already and I will be showing my 13 yr old nephew very soon. I don’t want to forget the incredible Dr who created the program to catch the drug dealer online.
All of you are heroes. Thank God for all of you.
❤❤❤
The stark contrast in response to fent and Crack is just unbelievable.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. May God heal your heart.🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have young kids and I feel so afraid watching these stories.I am so sorry for you all. Love from a mum in 🇬🇧
I feel sorry for all the parents these days. What a terrible time to be a parent.
Omg...the poor mother...that cry....omg 💔💔💔
Omg 😭I cried with every single story those poor mamas, I have 3 son’s in addiction and I worry every single day, there are also story’s here in Oxnard California 😢ty for doing what you do this is real life story’s that people need to hear and see, this is a wake up call, one of my son’s good friend she was a young mama with a little girl maybe like 3 yrs old and she was a hard working mom, she had her own apt, one time I even baby sit for her, she loved her baby girl so much😢but one time my son came and told me 😢she had passed. That she had missed work and no one had seen her, intill someone when to check, when they open the door they saw the little girl crying over her momma died body😢🙏✨🕊
I am so sorry for the stress you must go through I just hope they don't use when they're alone they need to be with someone when they're using so if something happened they can call the medic or use Narcan or both
Truly heartbreaking 💔 thankyou for sharing. 😪🙏😪
What needs to be helped is the lack of emotional balance the young people try to remedy with pills
Humans will always have mental health issues with it. We are handling it correctly or not what we can handle is the border the drugs are understanding of what is real and what is not real these kids probably had no idea that it was that is it necessary to save Plenty of the lights.
The problem here is illegally manufactured counterfeit drugs. Emotional balance in children is not something that will ever happen and if it could, it would be a lot harder to sell that and a lot less reasonable to target that time to target the drug problem in our country.
@@Literallyarealhuman I agree. Excellent point
Sorry for your loss 🙏
In my State they put the seller in prison for murder.
It should have been in all States!
In Thailand they get the death penalty after time spent shackled to a prison floor.
@@georgemeloo7645why? When people are using illegal drugs 🤦♂️ maybe people should be smart enough not to spend their own money on their possible death
@@zazasnruntz7505 I truly hope you NEVER have to experience this unimaginable heartbreak and loss.....my gracious
You don't understand there are people who have addiction a disease no one wants to understand that. It might not be one pill one time there are people that also die of the fentanyl in other drugs, pot, meth etc. I lost my son on February 23rd of this year from fentanyl in meth. Yes he was an addict and no he probably did not know there was fentanyl in the meth. It kills almost instantly. So please don't judge unless you know what an addiction does to people
RIP everyone everywhere.
I started visiting Mexico from 1962 to 2011, and I obeyed all your laws, and even lived there part time as a second home. I speak Spanish as a second language, and I generously helped non beggars in the 🇺🇸, Zimbabwe, and Acapulco. I speak Spanish as a second language, and loved helping everyone to learn English. Like all people, I interacted with the good, bad and ugly, but God was always there for me, to help others.
Always write down what you spend, and do not be greedy and stingy, and help non beggars on the quiet. Please keep written, audio, and video journals. everyday, and please dte, and the day of the week also.
I never cared what haters think, and they were removed from my life, and God took care of the rest. I ghosted them first.
Mail out Narcan to every family
I lost my daughter at age 20. She lost many friends before and after her death. CLOSE ALL BORDERS!!!
You're a mor0n.. stop spreading bullshit misinformation.. the only way out of this is complete legalization and regulation.. people have been doing drugs since the dawn of time and they will at the twilight.. closing the borders would do nothing but create clandestine labs in the U.S.. think before you speak and post; I know it's probably hard for you to do with the one brain cell you have left, but critical thought is needed now.. the drug war has been raging since Nixon, over $1 trillion spent for what? A worse situation then ever before.. wake up
@@gmoneyApexTrader8Who are you even talking about? Wtf
Fentanyl is smuggled in by Americans. Americans are also funding the cartels and arming them
I'm terribly sorry for your loss, but doesn't most fentanyl come to the US from China? Not sure closing all borders would help with that.
Fentanyl is the deadliest drug threat in the US, affecting younger individuals who are often unaware of its dangers. We must urgently prioritize border security and the well-being of our citizens. It's time to educate ourselves, our loved ones, and our communities about the risks of fentanyl. Let's come together, raise awareness, and take action to save lives.
I know this isn't quite the appropriate time for this... but all I could think of was *"This is serious, (serious) we could make you delirious (delirious)"*
Just to let you know how bad it is, in most of Europe the mafias who manage the drug trade flat out refuse to let fentanyl into the market. In Spain, Italy, the Balkans, Poland, Portugal, Belgium, Switzerland, and many other countries it’s just impossible to find it, and those who tried to introduce it were dealt with immediately… so just imagine how dire the situation is, considering that some of the worst criminal organizations on Earth think this drug is “too dangerous to be dealt where we work”.
Did you feel the same way about the crack epidemic?
What does the border have to do with anything? Haha, Jesus you people are ridiculous; even when it knocks on your door, you need your hand held to reach an intelligent conclusion.. if you think the border is the problem, I got bad news for you.. Oxycontin started this 20 years ago and guess what? It was made in the good ol' USA.. it's too late for anything but complete legalization and if you don't believe that, save your brain power for remembering to breathe..
@@symptomoftheuniverse4149
I believe raising awareness about any drug that can pose significant harm to people's lives is a positive step. Currently, illicit fentanyl stands out due to its alarming fatality rate, which is not observed to the same extent with other drugs.
DIH : Drug Induced Homicide needs to be implemented into every state law!!!! Every clandestine chemist making illegal illicit drugs and every dealer who is selling illegal illicit drugs.
That’s how it is in Texas. Dealing Fentanyl and f you get caught is attempted murder and if someone dies from your supply it’s murder
Automatically life in prison,no change of parole,no exceptions
See what that fails to take into account is that the majority of dealers are just small-time users so it's like 1 minute soneones a victim the very next to murder? Would you charge that kid that died with murder had he lived? because almost everybody I know that does fentanyl sells it to friends at one point or another it's just a fact. Be careful what you wish for. Prosecution is not the answer, have the last 40 years taught us anything? Instead of making these sweeping decisions that have many possible unintended consequences we need to treat it as a disease and a public health issue not a crime
🙈🙉🙊
I would like to say I am so sorry for all the family's that have to go through these tragedies God bless you all
Families.
We need to teach kids about all these crazy drugs and what they can do to them. Horrible whats happening.
Change will come with better education.
Somewhere, somehow, kids have developed an utter lack of support, knowledge and discernment of the severe danger to them. What we see is nonchalance and normalization.
The nonchalance could be do to the utter despair young people feel, the normalization, is a coping mechanism and the need to look “tough.”
With full parental and governmental interference, education, dedication, and determination, we might be able to safe our children and our future.
I came across Texas Production and watching I think just about all the stories. As my heart broke I learned something new with every story. I have a 19 and 15 year old so it really hit home. I did more research and finally was ready to have a real conversation about fentanyl very specifically as I’ve talked about drugs with them since they were young as I lost my sister to a Oxy OD 10 years ago. I was very contrived on how I wanted to address this topic with them. It was a successful conversation whereas at the end I thanked them for listening and staying engaged and my 19yr old son said “you went about it the right way mom”. Point of me writing this is to tell all those parents/families you have helped me and my family with the knowledge or being woke about this very important topic. Thank you and please know I pray for your families as I do my own. I will NEVER say never.
Sad to hear that but congrats for fighting this evil and trying to save other lives..
May God bless u, may ur kid RIP🤲
Stop sugar coating addiction.
When I was a teenager, I drank alcohol older guys bought me. Did I deserve to die?
Lol
if fentnyl was a thing when I was a kid I'd be dead forsure, I experimented a normal amount I think
@@_Dark222Angel_even CEOS and tons of middle class and rich do coke , but now with china involved its so dangerous, i did my share of experimenting, im glad God changed my life...
I experimented a lot with drugs and the 70s. I’m only a lie because fentanyl wasn’t a big deal wasn’t even around. There was OxyContin. That’s what these teenagers are doing experimenting and I would hope your whole lot safer if they just took a drink but when you’re a young person, you don’t think it will ever happen to you because you’re invincible.
My brother died from a fentanyl overdose so i know the pain these parents feel.
😢🙏🙏🙏
Lost a good friend almost a year ago to fentenal didn't even know he did those kind of drugs and he was a new father 💔 so sad prayers for all.the family's that have had to go through this and for those who still will😢
😢❤🙏🏻
Government play a big part in letting the dealers do what they do. They’re involved
Of course
I have 10 years using drugs but this is new. Drugs never kill so easy
It is done on purpose
It’s the new population control measure
@@gonzaloarvietti4920 No one wants drugs addicts around anyway. They are victims of a chemical they chose to take and they can't stop until they take everything from everyone around them.
My friend lost 3 family members in 4 months..during the pandemic..professional people..
Really?
Natural selection
I am very sorry for your loss! heartbreaking 💔 it’s an understatement!
Please 🙏take this videos to middle, high school and colleges.
Everyone should just assume that every nonprescription pill could kill- drug education should be mandatory- why are people risking their lives? There is a major mental health crisis in America that needs to be addressed. Must get to root cause as to why people are willing to play with their lives like this. Don’t take pills like that unless they are from a legitimate pharmacy
Omg that cry from that mom..wow so sad.Lord that’s so sad and heartbreaking 💔 RIH Josh
If the users can find drug dealers then so can the police. Highly suspect.
My thoughts go out to one and all.. 🙏🏴
God Bless you Kim🙏🏻 Thank you for your bravery ❤️🎶♾️
This has me in tears. I feel the loved one pain. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’m glad you did this video even myself I’m about to cry for this kids and specially moms
I truly feel sorry for these people 😢
It saddens my heart greatly over the Thousands of lives killed by Fentanyl. It most be stopped, and these drug dealers must be caught and incarcerated for the Murders.
May God continue to heal you and your 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Where are the testing kits that we use in Ireland in universities and at festivals?? They can tell you what's in the pills, not necessarily how much of the substance, or reagent kits where you test them to see what you are buying.
I think if I knew ONE PILL could kill me, I'd sure as hell stay away from pills. But if I HAD NEVER EVEN HEARD OF FENTANYL, I'd probably end up making a mistake, because I am someone who has battled with addiction.
Thank you for these mothers. This has to be so tough, reliving that pain over and over.
Don't buy or accept pills on the streets or internet. Please take my advise. Be vigilant. 🌹
Pills & alcohol are no joke, as a recovering alcoholic with chronic pain its beyond frustrating & so very sad this is happening! Chronic pain & Addiction is something i dont wish on anyone. Awareness is so important, its such a touchy subject, and no1 wins in this mess. As someone who Needs pain medication its extremely hard to get because of whats happening in this world! My heart breaks for Everyone who has lost a loved one & i do think the supplier should be punished in prison for murder. Addiction is pure hell, pain is pure hell & loosing a loved 1 is pure hell. There is alot of changes that need to happen & educating our children is an absolute must!!!! Knowledge is power & awareness can save lives! 💞
Unbelievable.
Sad this shit is killing so many people, it is a epidemic. I hope everyone gets help, blessings to all the addicts suffering. Its very sad. ❤😢
I lost my brother this past December 15 to this drug when I had to tell our parents my mothers scream was the same and I can't get it out of my head every day I can hear it and I still cry every day my prayers go out to everyone that has lost someone to this horrible drug 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Demand and supply is the game here.
Just like how the turntables.....turn.
Am praying for our young men and women grateful heart giver nffff 😊sister robinn
I am 66, I and many of my generation did recreational drugs with no ill effects though of course, it was risky.
I have stayed away from drugs since my early thirties.
Since Fentanyl IMO you have to be so reckless as to have a death wish. I do not accept any open substance from anybody other than a reputable restaurant.
Since your early thirties.
So does it means that once you used drugs?
@@DionisoBaco. Yes, that is the definition of "since".
Times sure have changed. The 90s were a time of acid, pot and beer and maybe you'd hear of someone distant to you that used heroin, or meth, but now? Drugs have increased, usage has increased, and in a lot of ways we normalized taking Adderall and benzos. Meth use skyrocketed and now we have fentanyl from mexico and china to deal with. Different times, indeed.
@@Killmaisyexperimenting and using drugs is normal in white communities maybe you guys should stop that 🤷♂️ white people are introduced to drugs through people they call their friends
@@KillmaisyThe 80s and 90s had a Crack and Cocaine epidemic, especially in the Black communities that severely affected Black families!
Fuckin shame, what happened to the good old weed smoking days
That's so boomer and old millennial thing. Kids that grew up having zero clue how to smoke anything since smoking is banned everywhere and you would have to light up with bunch of old people in the 5x5' permitted zone.
Big pharma happened
I used crack cocaine meth
Wtf with this new narcos?
They are losing clients
Im gonna clean my closeth drugs are supuouse to be fun no death
Weed can be laced, it's no better here in California to many cartels
I've lost a lot of friends and family here in Ohio from fentyal and it's sad I used to be a addict I have 6 years clean now and own my house and have three vehicles in my garage and my family is well taken care of recovery is amazing
I’m so heartbroken for all these families. My niece just lost her dad to fentanyl poisoning. What makes me sad is that I was hopeful that her dad would beat his addiction. Bc no one would choose to be an addict. I hope now he is at peace. Bc we could see the struggle and toll that addiction had on him.
Some are stepping out of rehab and the first time use kills them 🤔 ❤🙏😔.
So rare drugs kill a first user
I feel like people forget that dosages and scales exist.
@@Lkdhhabvthere’s no way to determine the dose in a fetty pill
Got to stop the want and the reason for the useage. Not enough rehab when hooked. Its to expensive to get help. People wake up, tough Love
Man real shit as someone from Texas these videos hit hard , I was never interested in experimenting with pills but those videos really keep me away from any pills
Very informative, we have started to see evidence of Fentanyl on the streets of london England, God bless the parents that have lost loved ones through this horrible drug. I hope that they stay strong and their Sons, daughters and loved ones will be remembered forever for allowing their loses will hopefully educate the youth of today to not risk their life’s for a high. Drugs are not worth it, get the high from a loving family, friends people that genuinely care for your life. God bless the families 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍🏼👍🏼💯💯🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Such a chilling video of that mother
Excellent...

When you want to be so cool that you end up dead cold 🥶💀. Just say no to crack, smack, and jack. Sad but what can you do.
😢💔
Lol I can't think of anything *less* cool than ingesting street drugs.
Even if you survive an overdose - you will be back. I survived 2 overdoses from this substance and was using the next day. I thank my higher power that I was able to get clean. I am now coming up on my first year completely drug free…. I’m horrified by how fast it gripped me, from the first time I used it. I thank god, my wife, and new hope corps for helping me through, without them I would likely be dead
If people are dumb enough to play Russian roulette with drugs then, hey, they had a death wish.
Drugs are design to not kill no one
So that is the rare part of all this shit
Why so many are dying for just one pill
Sad but true ☹
Has nothing to do with being dumb. Rather, feeling like you have nothing to live for. Not loving yourself. Not knowing how to cope with trauma other than using drugs. This is the result of a failing society.
Inspections is where it all should start. They want to start getting rid of the problem then they need to hire more help, and STOP every Damn car/truck/Semi no questions asked.
So heartbreaking 💔
How sad! These psychopaths who do this don't care how many lives they destroy. Making big bucks while killing people. Donna Leone R.N.
My wife is addicted to methadone and another unidentified drug. We have an 11-year-old and a 1-year-old, and her addiction is tearing our family apart. Currently, I'm in Canada while they remain in Florida, and it's been almost a week since I've had any communication with them. I arrived in Canada just over a week ago. It's time for a serious crackdown on drugs and big pharma.
My heart aches for my boys and I wish I could help my wife.
Damn this shit is so sad. I'm beyond grateful to be in recovery now over 6 years. I pray for all those still sick n suffering
Its so normal that its not even tragic
I use drugs but this is like more a Genocide
Never before drugs do this
Sad but true ☹ All you can do is educate your young'uns and hope they are smart enough to heed your message.
I don’t understand these people putting judgmental comments in the comments. People really think it can’t happen to anyone they know and love. Sadly, I am sure they will eventually know. I have taken care of some of these patients, there is a huge difference in a heroin overdose and fentanyl poisoning. I’m sorry people are just nasty.
Tragedy. So sad.
Seems like we would all be demanding a safe border.
Even if 1 of ever 2,000 immigrant is a cartel member-we should still stop the flow.
My brother has been in and out of rehab the last 6 years and it has destroyed my parents. It has aged them and has brought endless stress and sadness to our family.
I feel you. So sad😢 I hope your brother wins the battle. God bless.
🙏🖤🙏🖤🙏🖤
Fentanyl is smuggled across the border by Americans Americans are also funding and arming the cartels
Sadly this issue won’t magically stop if the border is closed. This is happening because government wants it to. That’s the real problem here
This is very sad and makes me so mad that some people just judge others as I see in the comments. That’s plain heartless and they obviously don’t understand the reality of what’s happening in the world. Not everyone that takes 1 pill is a drug addict! I personally know of a parent who lost a child that went to a party and was given a pill that had fentanyl. Let’s not forget that behind all this are drug dealers making a lot of money!
Yeah, like people can’t make mistakes in their life, or even maybe it wasn’t on purpose, but accidentally. People are so evil and such cruel human beings. Obviously not everybody, but a lot of people.
@@DionisoBaco. I 100% agree with you!
Agree💔these poor kids are NOT trying to take "fentanyl"💔 they were murdered😢💔RIP JAY JAY CALDERON😢
C'mon parents, you're going to tell me you can't control your kid's phone!
Try it, he will lock you out of his phone, then lock you out of his room and then his life.
@crand20033 I'm sorry Crand, but I have to disagree with you. A lot has to do with the values you instill in your kids, which has a lot to do with the values that you as a parent uphold.
@@AVAROPENA-wm2co Kids are rebellious. Some even run away from home if they are too closely supervised.
@@crand20033that’s true to an extent, but education and being close to your kid is vital. It’s common to allow kids to be educated by state funded schools today. 200 years ago, this would’ve been looked down upon, and it was common for kids to be homeschooled. There’s a big disconnect in most modern American families, because of the schools.
@@AVAROPENA-wm2cotaking away a child’s phone isn’t going to stop said child from doing bad things
The dilemma is whether to tell your rebellious kids not to ever take pills unless prescribed from a dr.
That might make them even more likely to do so.....
I don't know..if my peers were dying all around me, I might be more receptive to advice. Every kid is different though ❤
I mean safe drug use is what will end this epidemic. Not this war on drugs that’s been ongoing for decades
How does a 14 year old pay for drugs advertised on SnapChat?
Surviving family should file a massive class action lawsuit on Joe,Kamala and Myorkas.
I am not from the US and i watched several documentary about the fentanyl problem. The point that is shared by all of them is the need for medication but because of the absurd cost of medicine, people go to shady dealer that sell you the medicine you need that is probably laced with fentanyl becoming a recuring customer or dead.
Just this point is for me absolutly GLARING...the amount of damage because of counterfeit pills. I am from the EU i pay for anykind of medicine i need between 5€ to up to 10€ MAX thats between 5,28 US-Dollar and 10,57 US-Dollar...the rest is covered by mandatory healthcare.
Then the government needs to give the people what they need for pain. They cut all pain meds off so they are going to the street.
Pain patients are being forced tapered and taken off meds which is pushing them to the streets for relief.
The kids though? I think we've normalized taking something for every ailment or mental issue and social media has made it easy to get, and hard for parents to monitor.
Fentanyl is even in weed, now. Nothing is safe. What do we do? How can we fix this?
@@Killmaisythe real answer is about money, individualism, and consumerism. The way our society functions pushes people to the outside, who then become drug addicts and/or criminals. A happy, healthy society is the result of many happy & healthy families. We don’t have that anymore, people love money more than their family today.
Good documentary about the fentanyl crisis in America
God Bless Glenn…
There are so many grandparents raising grandchildren or even great grandchildren in my community (and so many others). I spoke with a grandmother, who was raising her daughter’s 9 and 2 year old children, it breaks my heart how much her daughter’s addiction is wreaking havoc on their families lives. Since my state has legalized possession of drugs, irreparable harm has been done to families, communities, and mental health. It is nearly impossible to get services for a loved one. This grandma’s hands were tied. She tried rehab, but her daughter checked herself out 4 times. She tried having her committed but the hospital released her. It’s no longer illegal to do or possess drugs, so the cops wouldn’t help. I decided right then and there, that I will not lose my children to addiction. If they ever became addicted to drugs, I would do whatever it took (WHATEVER IT TOOK) to bring them back. Wouldn’t you? It is time to fight for our loved ones on our own! Never stop praying for your loved ones. If you had to tie them up or lock them in your basement, to get your loved ones back from addiction would you? Would you risk Jail to free your child, brother, sister, mom, dad, husband, wife, or grand children from addiction and give them a future?
That's how Prince died but they didn't know that much about it back in 2016. He'd made it to his private elevator before he collapsed in there and died
All I can say is: Please watch every single video made by Glen and his team of „Texas Pictures Documentaries“!!!
The series is called „Fentanyl Poisoning“ and it‘s so important to raise awareness and spread the word.
And NO, I do have nothing to do with Glen Muse except the fact that I‘m a videographer and video editor from Germany who happened to find his video series and then started talking to Glen and thanking him for every video he‘s making.
So again, please watch those videos and show them to your family members for the sake of raising awareness of how dangerous, evil and almost every single time fatal Fentanyl is and will be.
Best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪, Philipp
My precious Matthew 😢💔😢💔
Is there a cure for fentanyl cause theres cures for any drug on ths addiction market. So where did the heroin have
My son is still alive but acts like he is dead. No job, cant hold a job due to addiction. His relationships with the entire family is broken. Im his Mom and i am so tired of his behavior i am starting to resent him for all he has put us through. In order to save myself i have had to retreat from him. His behaviors are out of control , i cant help him , God knows i have tried.
This drug makes victims feel so good that they always want to feel like that.
Maybe he needs a stint in boot camp.
He is 38 years old.
He needs the Lord.
My husband is in Roma, TX building the Texas borderwall...
1:53 when I was caught smoking weed my parents defiently didn’t send me to counseling, put me under surveillance etc. seems like this kids life was stressful.
Marijuana is a "gateway" drug. Meaning if you use marijuana, you are at risk for going on to hard drugs.
@carolynmorris7303 oh stop it😅,i used to smoke DAILY in my early 20s and my mom never knew until i told her...and i NEVER got into "hardcore" stuff, its just some people want a much bigger high and made that choice. Dont blame it on weed please!
Times were different and all parents are different. She was concerned for his well being, don’t assume things
