This happened to me and I almost died. I did OD but was revived thankfully. When I passed out my parrot flew down the house and screamed for my mom. My mom thought one of the dogs had the bird but she opened the door and he kept screaming and knew something was wrong. had no idea my friend gave me fentanyl. I’m sober now and have a loving husband with my own baby parrot that waits for me after work. Don’t give up on people in active addiction.
Mike Colby wow I didn’t know birds were like that, it’s amazing how animals are so in tuned with us, thankfully your story turned out differently , I feel so sad for Dr Berman and her son , and husband ❤️
@@dedemillikan2401 me too. Yep that parrot literally saved my life. My parents were leaving to see the doctor and I was upstairs turning blue. While leaving that’s when my parrot flew down and began screaming.
Was @ work when I got call from a hospital nurse. My son had been rushed to the hospital because of a DRUG OVERDOSE🤔 I thought they called the wrong #. Thank God they were able to revive him. Apparently he & friends decided to try PERCOCET! The drug was purchased from social media & it was laced w/Fentanyl🤬 This happened earlier this year as well.
Having suffered many losses in my life time, I shouldn't use the word heal but what I believe from experience many find a way to turn their pain into a passion in honor of a loved one. You're right heal is not the correct word. I apologize
I once told my child if he ever did drugs he could die and if that happened they would have to dig a hole and bury me next to him. I couldn't live without him. I looked over and he was bawling. Parents, let your children know they are your number one above anyone anything else always.
I remember the day my Dad told me if something ever happened to me, he'd be right there with me. It was incredibly eye opening. Parents, please tell your children this.
God bless this family give them Strength and peace that surpasses understanding. There needs to be new laws with social media and cell phones when it comes to crime especially crimes against kids
My wife and I would travel over the holidays in our car and listen to her talk show on XM Radio. She seemed to be doing great work to help people be and do better. I'm so sorry this happened to her. My goodness. So sorry.
I've listened to her always also. I gasped at the headline as I had NO idea of this horrific tragedy. Crying before the video even started. To hear her voice tryng to speak... I hope our collective good thots will reach their family in strength and love. Hug those u hold dear!! Blessings to all ✌💙
Yes all four of them sound like they could collapse at any moment and start bawling. I feel so sorry for them and that big tech such as Apple and Snapchat are harboring these criminals by not cooperating with authorities
There is not enough tears, my condolences to Laura Berman's entire family during this difficult time, the loss of a child is devastating and life altering beyond words. Sending prayers and positive to energy to you and every family who has to deal with the absence of a child due to drug overdose.
My deepest condolences to you and your family! I live in fear of losing my 22 year old son too. He is struggling with a heroin addiction for 2 and a half years. In October it will be 3 years. He just called in for court and I wrote a letter asking for court ordered rehab! But they didn't consider it and he calls . In June I just keep praying
As the Father of 3 intelligent wonderful children I can understand both on an emotional and rationally the agony of losing a child. We are a military family who have attended the funerals of a number of my children's friends in the civilian community with whom they have gone to school. This tragedy also affects us in the military so I know with absolute certainty that this is a tragedy across the gamut of society as a whole. Where we seem to differ is that our "Military Brats", a term which to us is an appellation in our world we give with fondness as any military parent will tell you. There is another aspect of military life that seems draconian to many outside our community and that is that the military member (called the Sponsor) is fully responsible for ALL of the behavior of their Dependents regardless of the situation and this applies across the board from dependent Husband, Wife and Children. Having served for 32 years I have seen many of my peers pulled in front of the chain of command for their dependents' involvement in shoplifting, vandalism and definitely drug abuse.....etc. This is where people think we're being draconian. Ignorance of the matter has NEVER been accepted as an excuse. Losing children to the ravages of drugs has been the scourge of poor parents in the inner cities, barrios and elsewhere have been a nightmare for them for decades yet I don't quite remember many of them if any being given such personal and voluble gasps of sympathy and horror over their loss by such luminaries in the news and entertainment worlds. As a 100% totally and permanently both mentally and physically disabled human being in the service of our country I can tell you what the blow back is when wealthy, politically connected celebrity parents go through what the poor have been suffering for decades. The anguished declarations from such parents that "they want to make sure that no other mother/father ever has to go through what they have" turns into a political demonization of all opioids as an example which for us is a critical MEDICINE rather than something someone's entitled child decided to experiment with. If I sound MEAN or angry I'm truly not sorry......when I see and hear the sanctimonious blather in the media and from our gutless politicians about the tragedy of so many Veteran suicides it's my Brothers and Sisters that are being talked about. It gives the Thugs in a truly criminal agency known as the D.E.A more money and power which is THEIR drug of choice to destroy more lives in the failed travesty known as the "War on Drugs" which since their inception under that racist piece of shit Harry Anslinger has been responsible for the deaths of literally millions of innocent people around the world
You are all so very strong. I am in recovery from addiction and the CEO of The McShin Foundation. There have been TOO MANY deaths from addiction and we try are hardest to help prevent that. The families I try to help with the grief are completely amazing and it literally breaks my heart. I wish you all love and peace. Please let me know if there is anything I or McShin can ever do for you!!
I don't like American chat shows, but this woman is fantastic. I've seen a few of her interviews and she is brilliant. I am so sorry for this family, this is such a sad story.
It breaks my heart to hear about this tragedy. Unfortunately I also lost my son and totally understand the devastation this family is going through. My most sincere and heartfelt condolences to this grieving and shattered family. May God comfort them all. May Sammy rest in peace.
My heart fills will sorrow for you. I am truly sorry. May your angels and guides surround you and your entire family and hold you up every time you need strength . Sending love and healing light.
I'm so sorry. This is a parents worse nightmare. God Bless your family and give you strength. My son is a drug addict and I know what her fears were and now her reality scares the HELL out of me. I HATE drug dealers and wish they could be given life sentences in prison for the destruction of a human being! I have witnessed a lot as a mother.
@Dr Berman I’m so sorry for your loss and sending so much love to you and your family. Thank you for your strength and bravery in sharing something so difficult to discuss but helpful to so many other families that go through this.
Tameron this was a very interesting show I know it touched a lot of hearts because it did mine to the family u Are in my prayers may God continue to bless and keep them.
Hi my name is Marina I have the same situation my son I wouldn't say. I'm sorry for your lost because I lost my daughter very young what drugs prescription drugs tell my son I have the same problem I were so many years back and forth I can't do this anymore it's very hard to see my son go down down and I know how do you feel I want to say God bless you and be strong
Sometimes the mission calls you in the most painful way ,nonetheless is still a mission , thank you Dr Laura , thank mom to these boys and now helping other moms , please moms keep an eye and be true to yourself.
There are no words that won't sound cheap. The selfish in me says my gosh I'm so very sorry. I wish there was something I could do to turn back the hands of time and prevent this from happening. Your action to help others during your loss is something I thank you for. There are many reasons why but most selfish is because it helps others who already have or will experience this. To see that someone experiencing what you have has chosen to do outreach. Just thank you. Also selfishly I say that we are all in this together. I just hope that you never blame yourself. These phones are "evil" but the schools, the neighbors house, other family...anyone could've supplied your baby with that stuff. We love our children soooooo much. Our entire lives becomes about them, their health, their future, their contentment....I'm so sorry. You are not alone. We are you.
This is such a tragedy. This poor women is suffering. I pray Gods' comfort. Again brave people trying to do their best to help others. Truly wonderful people. and I am so sorry for their loss.
I'm sorry for your loss . I lost a very good friend 5 years ago because of this drug . They gave that guy ross like 50 years for having a drug selling platform . This seems like the exact same thing to me .
As a mom of teenagers this is scary! We protect our children to the best we can, but we can’t see through them or know everything they are up to. May the God of creation give you, and your family strength, and wisdom at this time! I am sorry this happened.
So sad. Condolences and prayers for the family. I guess no matter how much u discuss with your kids some of them still won’t listen. I have one and he is 32 and is finally working hard to quit but his isn’t pills
It's even sadder how so many parent WON'T LISTEN as their unhappy kids silently slip into a "2nd life", right under the parent's ignorant nose, and get secretly sucked into drugs and other nasty stuff. Hopefully your son will find some help and LOVE to undo the damages (from inadequate parenting?) that allowed him to look for love in drugs.
@@jimrich4192 thank u. I’ve been dealing with my sons issues he has had for 4 years and hid it cuz I lived nowhere near him and his dad didn’t know either. He struggles but I am proud of the way he is finally trying to get clean. Not saying we were angles, but he is 32 now and started at 28. He is trying really hard. Keep us all in your prayers. His dad and I suspected and he was right under Dad’s roof in Florida. I live in cold Pa
Omg I'm so shocked. I would never of thought this good go on in snap chat. My heart breaks 💔 for his family. I'm glad the Mother is bringing this to the world even during her time of grief. I hope snap chat can find this person or through his ph. He may of wanted something to calm any anxiety. Not knowing like what dose is safe or God forbid it could of been laced. Prayers to the family and a big hug. 🙏😢😭❤
You may be able to move on (to a certain point) but you NEVER get over it. Don't listen to anyone that says otherwise. if Snapchat operates the way he said they are then they are committing a crime by harboring criminals. That needs to change.
I’m so very sorry. 😢 your story about your son’s life prior to his death is almost parallel to my 14 yr old grandson who I have custody of. He has ADHD and had substance abuse issues in the last year with alcohol, and also saw a substance abuse counselor for awhile. I also fear he has depression right now so I’ve made him an appointment today for an evaluation. I want to thank you for speaking out! Please be aware that I found out that Instagram also has a dissolving chat and many kids are using that as well. Snap chat is only one platform!!
This family had their child Adderall, in full knowledge that both sides of her family were addicts. She should have found another alternative treatment to ADHD which is a questionable diagnosis anyway in most case.... bad move. See the 2019 show by The Doctors on parents getting their children on Adderall.
If you are using, but fentanyl test strips. They are $1 or less on Amazon and you can get them in packs of 20 or 25 if I remember correctly. They say they are for urine but you can use them to test the drug itself. You need just the tiniest bit (a chip off of a pill for example) mix it in water until it is completely dissolved and then follow the test directions. I know it's easy for people to say "or just don't use" but that's not realistic. People are going to use, period. If you are, be as responsible and safe as you can be. Test whatever your drug of choice is to insure you know what you're taking. Don't use alone. Start with smaller amounts, you can always do more, but you cannot do less! Always carry Narcan with you. I don't use anymore and I still carry it, just in case! Side note: On the tests, usually a positive is only 1 line and a negative is 2 lines (the opposite of pregnancy tests)
I am very sad this kid died, that is why I am even posting. I am going to cross a line here, I realize that. It is conversation for thought not an accusation. He may have just used drugs and died. The red flag I see is her job as "Relationship therapist and TV host". I see a mother that has issues of her own and placed them on her own child or he inherited her genes (no fault to his own, alcoholism runs in my mom's side of the family). I have been around many people who use drugs and also people who have disorders, they tend to go together when trying to cope. I just wish this lady would say the truth about why it happened. Either he had mental issues or she was just super over bearing and mentally pressured him too much. Or her story the nice smart kid takes Fentanyl by accident, we all know it killed Michael Jackson. Once again this is how one person can see this story. No one will ever know what he was thinking or feeling.
Edit: Jackson died from propofol, benzodiazepines, lorazepam and midazolam. Fentanyl has been in the news now for years causing deaths, seems worse than heroin. So this this kid knew it was very bad. I was offered many drugs at 15 and 16 years old, I said no. It was that simple, no one pressured me further. Drugs are expensive they don't want to give them away. Once they know you are not a user they walk away.
@@jamaldu-barry7944 true. We can do our best to guide them, but ultimately they are not robots. This world offers many distractions and dangers. We can only hope that the foundation that we establish with them as they are young can sustain them and weather the storm.
May God Bless the Burman family I hope this son stays on a the right track & be there to help his parents during this painful time 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️ nothing good ever comes from drugs
Also the fact that on the menu the dealer says "script" makes it seem that he is selling pills that he got from a prescription, not from some pill mill which he obviously did!
sadly these kids are growing up in an uber, door dash, amazon on demand everything…and he prob didn’t think twice abt someone bringing him drugs to his door. We can’t gloss over the fact that legalization of canabis along w/ big pharma 😅s creating this catastrophe. there is no bigger dealer in the world than big pharma.
There is no complete healing from this. It is the worst thing to happen to a parent. So sad. These dealers are so evil. All who prey on our children. Social media is more dark than good. It is a venue we really don’t need. Heartbreaking
I don't get why they would lace xanax with fentanyl. It would be more expensive for the dealer to do and extra work plus there addictive on there own so i don't get it. Or did the news report get it wrong.
Sending drug dealers to jail won't ever stop the parental forces that actually send kids off & into a 2nd, secret life (right under their parent's nose) in search of what is missing at home - love, acceptance, dignity & respect. Drugs seem to fill the void that inadequate parenting leaves in a kid's life. Maybe inadequate parents need to be put in jail!
@@jimrich4192 Omg you have a lot of nerve writing your comment after something so horrible has happened to someone’s child!! You must be a stone cold person, no love in your heart or ur life!😳😡
OMG how terribly sad for Dr Berman and her family. I had no idea kids could buy drugs on Snapchat. She did all the right things to try to keep drugs away from her children. If it can happen to her family, it can happen to anyone. 😥😥😥
I thank god he woke me up I took took a fake perc thought it was real youre high for an hour then it makes you wanna sleep and that’s when you die smh sad

My son died a week before he did...the same way... drugs laced with fentanyl. I would love to help with this mission.
I'm so very sorry...I know nothing anyone says really helps...Praying for you💕🎵
These drugs out there are a nightmare to so many parents. God Bless you.
Was @ work when I got call from a hospital nurse. My son had been rushed to the hospital because of a DRUG OVERDOSE🤔 I thought they called the wrong #. Thank God they were able to revive him.

This happened earlier this year as well.
The strength of a mother is unbelievable. God will heal in time.
No a mother will never heal in time! We just learn to try to live with the pain.

No He won't you never ever recover from the death of a child EVER
Tamron is fighting hard to not cry! What a strength! I could not say two words to this family without crying.
I once told my child if he ever did drugs he could die and if that happened they would have to dig a hole and bury me next to him. I couldn't live without him. I looked over and he was bawling. Parents, let your children know they are your number one above anyone anything else always.
That’s true power full message yes we have to tell them t
My son told me that i was going to suffer more than him and i did he is gone
I remember the day my Dad told me if something ever happened to me, he'd be right there with me.
It was incredibly eye opening. Parents, please tell your children this.
I did tell me kids that and I still lost 2, age 31 and 39.

You can tell that Tamara is a concerned parent and she has earned her stripes as a TV host.
Unfortunately, Snapchat deletes the conversations after you read it so it's very difficult to check and keep an eye on.

Test whatever your drug of choice is to insure you know what you're taking. Don't use alone. Start with smaller amounts, you can always do more, but you cannot do less! Always carry Narcan with you. I don't use anymore and I still carry it, just in case!
Side note: On the tests, usually a positive is only 1 line and a negative is 2 lines (the opposite of pregnancy tests)
I’m so sorry for your loss , I pray that God gives you comfort for you loss .
So sad
My Condolences to the family, heartbreaking
So sad.
😭 I'm sorry
❤️ this is really happening. There should be nothing but support for this Mother and family! #shutdownsocialmedia
Keep the faith
Aweeeeee🥺
It’s so painful to hear her pain !🙏🙏🙏💔
Wowww that's crazy
I am very sad this kid died, that is why I am even posting. I am going to cross a line here, I realize that. It is conversation for thought not an accusation.
He may have just used drugs and died. The red flag I see is her job as "Relationship therapist and TV host".
I see a mother that has issues of her own and placed them on her own child or he inherited her genes (no fault to his own, alcoholism runs in my mom's side of the family). I have been around many people who use drugs and also people who have disorders, they tend to go together when trying to cope.
I just wish this lady would say the truth about why it happened. Either he had mental issues or she was just super over bearing and mentally pressured him too much.
Or her story the nice smart kid takes Fentanyl by accident, we all know it killed Michael Jackson.
Once again this is how one person can see this story. No one will ever know what he was thinking or feeling.
Edit: Jackson died from propofol, benzodiazepines, lorazepam and midazolam.
Fentanyl has been in the news now for years causing deaths, seems worse than heroin. So this this kid knew it was very bad. I was offered many drugs at 15 and 16 years old, I said no. It was that simple, no one pressured me further. Drugs are expensive they don't want to give them away. Once they know you are not a user they walk away.
It’s easy to make assumptions , especially if you don’t have kids. Children have minds of their own.
@@jamaldu-barry7944 true. We can do our best to guide them, but ultimately they are not robots. This world offers many distractions and dangers. We can only hope that the foundation that we establish with them as they are young can sustain them and weather the storm.
This age is the age of experimentation and risk taking. He took a risk and it killed him.
My heart and prayers goes out to her and her family💞🙏💞
May God Bless the Burman family I hope this son stays on a the right track & be there to help his parents during this painful time 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️ nothing good ever comes from drugs
Good ol internet
We lost our Nephew on Christmas eve morning, due to fentanyl laced drugs, we believe that he was buying perc 30's.
Heartbroken 💔 condolences 💐 to his family
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭Keep your Family uplifted in 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Also the fact that on the menu the dealer says "script" makes it seem that he is selling pills that he got from a prescription, not from some pill mill which he obviously did!
Send my condolences 🌷, God will comfort u, u were a good mother
sadly these kids are growing up in an uber, door dash, amazon on demand everything…and he prob didn’t think twice abt someone bringing him drugs to his door. We can’t gloss over the fact that legalization of canabis along w/ big pharma 😅s creating this catastrophe. there is no bigger dealer in the world than big pharma.
R.i.p.
💔🥺My heart goes out to this family. Praying for you😔🙏⚘
There is no complete healing from this. It is the worst thing to happen to a parent. So sad. These dealers are so evil. All who prey on our children. Social media is more dark than good. It is a venue we really don’t need. Heartbreaking
I don't get why they would lace xanax with fentanyl. It would be more expensive for the dealer to do and extra work plus there addictive on there own so i don't get it. Or did the news report get it wrong.
so so sorry for you.
he didn't mean it.

fyi kids don't need adderall, stop messing with their brain chemistry.
sorry but tbh, these parents were kind of clueless.
I’m so sorry Dr Berman😞🙏😘. Ps is that person that sold that to your son going to jail I hope!!
Sending drug dealers to jail won't ever stop the parental forces that actually send kids off & into a 2nd, secret life (right under their parent's nose) in search of what is missing at home - love, acceptance, dignity & respect. Drugs seem to fill the void that inadequate parenting leaves in a kid's life. Maybe inadequate parents need to be put in jail!
@@jimrich4192 Omg you have a lot of nerve writing your comment after something so horrible has happened to someone’s child!! You must be a stone cold person, no love in your heart or ur life!😳😡
Shitty and untrue. Many reasons who people do drugs..many more why teenagers experiment.
fentanyl is terrifying.
SOCIAL MEDIA IS HOW IT HAPPENED! Come on!!!
This pandemic has destroyed so much...
😢
They should use their younger son's cellphone/Snapchat account to find the perp.
OMG how terribly sad for Dr Berman and her family. I had no idea kids could buy drugs on Snapchat. She did all the right things to try to keep drugs away from her children. If it can happen to her family, it can happen to anyone. 😥😥😥
I thank god he woke me up
I took took a fake perc thought it was real youre high for an hour then it makes you wanna sleep and that’s when you die smh sad
