I was addicted to opiates and heroin for 8 years, when I found out my girl was pregnant, i got clean. I made a promise to myself my daughter would never see me like that. She's 8 years old as of last month. Its not the kids fault they were brought into this world. And they have no control over how or who raises them.
Very nicely done! As much as we love our kids, sometimes even that's not enough to stop. Doesn't mean you don't love your kids any less, just that you have zero control and need help. We have about time, didn't use that long but clean since 2016. Had a compound fracture last year, they had my on a liquid drip in the hospital, but I was strong enough to tell my doctor not to prescribe me anything after the hospital. Extremely painful but *MUCH* better than the alternative. Keep up the good work!!
As a doctor this breaks my heart. One week I lost 13 patients from a bad batch. I still struggle with that week. One of my patient’s mother went home and had a heart attack and died once we removed her son from life support. Worst week of my career for sure.
I’m almost 40 now but when I was 5 my dad shot my mom and I remember the officers went in their trunk and got a big teddy bear out for me to hug. I’ll never forget that. It’s so small but yes it does help so much when you’re a child and you’re so scared and sad.
Omg im so sorry you had to go through that and saw that so young 💔 well at any age it's traumatizing. If don't mind me asking did your mom pass? Or survive?
them giving the little girl a gift just warms my heart. as someone whos been in this exact situation as a child with my parents. it makes me shed a tear.
Gave her a gift and put her life in jeopardy at the sane time. By having her dad 🐀 out a dealer on national 📺 😮. They do not give 2 F about that family this is disgusting on 📺 though smh very dangerous for his mom and daughter. You never know who you're dealing with or how high ranking the dealer is.
@@christalh9151 by that logic, you should blame the channel that posted this because they posted it, not the cops. their bodycam footage is public information that anyone can request. So, in that case, do we blame the cops for doing their job in an investigation? Snitches know what could happen if they snitch... everyone makes their own choices, and the consequences will match those choices. While I do agree that cops are never your "friend", in every scenario they are meant to be doing their job as such. Children are victims, however, and in those instances, cops can indeed be the victim's friend.
When the officer went to the little girl and said "hi sweety remember me? I always keep a gift for her in my car." That just broke me 😢 the cops have a lot of compassion for him and his family and it shows with the disappointment that came from "he was doing really good for a while, he was working, laughing with his daughter, had the house decorated for christmas....." i hope he can get long term help. Sounds like he wants to do better.
Gotta love how the officers were acknowledging that he was doing better and were more concerned about his health and safety than the fact that he was doing something messy
You have no idea what addiction does to people then. If someone is doing decent off of heroin, it’s absolutely INCREDIBLE… it’s nearly impossible to stop. Clearly he relapsed, and isn’t thinking straight what so ever. It’s horrible to do drugs in the house with a kid around but when your addicted to Heroin you can’t make rational decisions. He shouldn’t have custody honestly
EXACTLY what I thought when I heard that... just horrible... My brother did meth in his 20's and early 30's... he dealt enough to keep up his habit... what kicked his ass into reality and into rehab was when he found his 3 year old daughter in the closet with his scale and a bag of flour... she was trying to be like Daddy and weigh the "white stuff"... for a second, he thought it was his dope and he thought he had just killed his baby girl... he went to rehab that day... That was more than 30 years ago and the thought of it still brings tears to his eyes... and mine...
My 5 yr sober bday is this May 3. I cannot tell u how beautiful this life is on the other side of addiction. I owe everything to my family and the first responders that saved me over and over. I thank u from the bottom of my soul. My brother is currently fighting those same demons but I can’t help him. My heart shatters every time he turns down the help. My prayers are with all those currently in the war and to those who have overcome. I love u and u are worth it ❤️
These days, there are treatment options that can help you get off of the drugs (especially opioids /street and prescription) with VERY little to no withdrawals. I'm not just talking about methadone.. other things that are newer, like a shot you get 3 x, (once a month) , that from what I read has been amazing in helping people get off of street drugs and prescription methadone.. with very little to no withdrawals. Maybe one of these things will eventually catch your brother's attention. Im proud of you for holing on, for fighting through the temptations and chosing life ❤ no matter how hard it is sometimes, it is SO worth it! I wish you the best of luck and your family as well.
I just can’t believe how caring this stellar group of men are. They care for Jared, his Mom, the little 3yo daughter and the whole town!!!! They care for them all so much they convinced him to tell him where he got it. You all deserve a medal 🎖️ Thank you!
@@Wispertile This is their community. They grew up with a lot of these people. Small town life. Mostly, not always, but mostly, you'll see this in small towns throughout the south and Midwest. The cops will really try to fight to keep their little community safe. It's a wonderful thing!
It is unreasonable to ask others to spend their time, energy, and money on dead beat humans like drug addicts and single mothers. Think if we had all the taxes back from LBJ's War on Poverty. Imagine, if instead of spending tax money on dead beats, instead we spent it on productive people. A good student gets free college instead of teen mom getting free food and housing. A law-abiding citizen gets a low interest home loan instead of a drug addict getting his 25th free ER visit. You get what you pay for and people like you pay for the worst people, so that's we keep getting more of.
You must be so naive thinking these cops are doing any good at all. This war on drugs was lost long ago and by punishing people with a medical condition no one’s winning, not the cops nor the addicts. It is all a huge waste of time and money that could be used for literally anything else and be more productive.
@@azovandy14.88Jeez, kid. Nice generalization... Just stop with the stereotypes already. The "systemic" tropes are tired and boring, and, easily refutable. "Defund da police" only benefits the criminals.
To all the addicts trying to get and stay clean… one small thing you can do to help yourself is change your environment and friends. Quit hanging around anyone that uses and find new friends that are sober. My brother, after he got clean, was in a convenience store and there was a cop in line ahead of him about his age. He tapped him on the shoulder and said “I was wondering if you could help me, I just moved to town and I’m an ex con, drug addict trying to stay clean. What’s there to do after work in this town that isn’t hanging out in a bar?” That cop invited him to play in the departments softball league and there he met a bunch of other cops and firemen. He made several friends and later one of his firemen friends got him on the volunteer fire dept and they paid for him to get EMT training. Surround yourself with people who lift you UP, not drag you down.
I always say change your people places and things. It works very well, I've seen it many times. Do not listen to those who say your problems will just follow you (those people are the ones abusing you!). While that is true if you allow for that, at least the horrible people wont follow you! Use your big brain! Be careful of the cops, especially the ones addicted to smoking on a pipe! Their are many perverted horny men dressed in priest outfits, uniforms and engaged in sexual slavery. Let us be honest with ourselves and protect the children.
RIP to my little brother Dan. 1988-2020. Tried to save him from a fentanyl OD when I found him on the bathroom floor, but it was too late. Please reach out for any and all help if you’re struggling with addiction. It will be a lifetime fight but getting clean is possible. To everyone in the comments that have found sobriety, God bless you and congratulations. It’s probably the hardest thing to do! ❤
I have 25+ years this last week. I'm just alcoholic, but I'm sure there are HOAA fellowships this stuff. The Steps are the Program. The fellowship made me want to work certain steps
I'm sorry you had to go through. I still hate myself for and can never undo the damage done when my brother saw me OD'd. I'm lucky I'm still here but I know it messed him up. All I can do now is be the best version of me or rather at least do the best I can and stay clean and I'm trying. I know I failed as a brother and it weighs heavy on me all the time.
Been clean since January 10th 2016. The day I found out I was pregnant with my one and only child. My wonderful Daughter, who just turned 8. Never relapsed. Never looked back. The bondage of addiction is soooo hard to escape. She gave ME life. ❤ Forever thankful babygirl. You came to me when I needed you most and I turned my life around for us. Being your Mother has been an absolute privilege. Here's to many more years of making good decisions 🎉💯🙌🏻🫂
Everyone in the comments of this video sharing that they’re getting clean and that they have been clean, *I AM SO PROUD OF YOU !!!!* You’re doing amazing, and you should be so proud of yourself, too ❤
This is such a crazy coincidence! I saw scrolling while the video played and the music came up. I was thinking “I don’t know the song but that’s low key chill😂I might Shazam it later” but you came through if this comment💯😭😂thanks for helping me save the extra time!
@@SweetBabyJesusOnTheCross what tf are you even talking about? It was a fucking coincidence because it wasn’t the first comment to pop up, I didn’t know the song, I was thinks about looking it up and at the same time, that comment popped up when I stopped at that moment so therefore, it is a coincidence. Be better. As someone who doesn’t listen to three doors down, that lil bit wasn’t too bad. It thanks for the warning I guess.
6:30 That is quite literally one of the best police officers that I’ve ever seen. I have watched days upon days of police bodycam videos & have never seen a nicer police officer. Thank you for your service sir.
As someone who similarly had cops come to my apartment complex due to a traumatic event, I can tell you that those toys are INCREDIBLE. I have CPTSD, but that memory is not a traumatic one because of this little bunny that the cop gave me while she talked to me about school and horses (my favorite subject). I had no idea anything awful was going on. She was amazing.
I'm a city bus driver. I carry a bag of toys every single day and give them out. I have never missed giving a child a gift when they come on my bus. My city is 500,000 people. When working for the public, your job is much easier when you are a friend of the community instead of the other. I can walk in my community. Lots of people know me, and I know I can proudly walk and know that I have served them well. I have no problem turning my back where I live.
Most Children even younger one's aren't that gullible over a toy. They we're already exposed to the Chaotic plea for help and cops with EMS storming in. Kids aren't dumb and are always watching
So sorry for your experience and as someone who deals with CPTSD I know how hard it can be. Having stacked trauma over the years I've been working with an awesome therapist who has helped me start to feel whole again. I know trauma rewires the brain and I know I'm not the same person prior to my trauma but that's okay. My awareness (hypervigilance) saved my life on Nov 22nd 2022 from being k1lled in a random attack. The attacker sh0t 9 rounds at my GF and I out for a walk as part of my PT from a car accident that was nearly fatal the Aug of 2022. While many people have one "Alive Day" I have 2 in less than a year. The head injury from the accident (TBI) and the attack kicked all the old trauma back up. But I survived with a single wound that missed everything vital in my leg by a 1/4". Had I not turned a corner when I did I would have risked losing my leg above the knee. Had I not had the "super power" of hypervigilance and watch people's hands, her and I would have been sh0t in the back from feet away. I carry the "what ifs" pretty heavy today but a shitload of guilt my GF now carrys the PTSD of that night. I see her exhaustion, anger and isolation. I see the pain in her eyes and know she doesn't think it will ever feel "normal" again. Especially since we live blocks from where we were ambushed. One day we were talking and I was trying to let her vent after one of many continued court dates over 23 months. She said to me. "The old me died that night. She's never coming back" and that broke my heart. I'm encouraging her to get into therapy and I'm working to find a new therapist as well. My last one was out of my budget but still saw me for years as I was making progress. I followed her from another location that took my insurance. I took 4-5 years off of therapy until this event but I can't afford $150/week for a great therapist. I am doing the research for a good therapist now. I hope you're finding/found peace in your C-PTSD. That's a horrible thing to carry every day. I do my best to help others dealing with PTSD. That's a really rough thing for anyone to deal with. No matter the cause
The fact that Jolene essentially caused the deaths of 2 people and almost did it to two others, and only got 2 years, is exactly why this keeps getting worse instead of any better.
Jolene didn't cause the death of anyone. jolene is an addict no different from the people who died except that she didn't die that doesn't make her guilty of their deaths. It keeps getting worse instead of better for many reasons but Jolene only getting two years isn't one of them.
@@alexisworst2568 the fact that it’s apparent there’s a family history of drug abuse has to come from somewhere and to be completely tone deaf her only getting 2 years is a direct result of why things will never get better having tighter punishments might make people think twice loose and lenient hand holding for drug addicts is dumb yes addiction is a true monster and I believe people deserve second chances but drugs don’t magically grow arms and legs and end up in people’s hands it’s a choice
No the problem is that it’s a crime to be an addict, so instead of putting people through a decent year long rehabilitation program where they can actually relearn to live and lead a normal life, they are sent to jail, which taxpayers fund, costing an absolute minimum of 60-75,000$ per year. And while yes, they do get clean, but in an environment where the inmate is forced to lead an extremely self centered life… jail/prison is something you have to survive, and is in no way conducive to living an ordinary, productive life. We as a society need to ask ourselves what it is we expect of these people, because jail doesn’t promote or prepare people to be productive members of society.
@@midori9_6hatch88 The potential (and now likely) outcome of using street drugs is already death. You think looking them up longer will change it? They're already not concerned about whether they die. My father died of an OD, a couple days after his last stint in prison over using. This was after overdoses, stroke, all kinds of near death experiences and being permanently crippled by the health problems it led to. Didn't stop him from doing it again.
Officers giving the child gifts, is above & beyond! I pray the officers kindness helps her remember to not go down her fathers path! Thank you officers!!
In my experience as the child of an addict who grew up seeing their parent OD multiple times it either goes one way or the other. I'm so terrified of addiction that I don't even want to take sleeping medication, but my brother is a full blown addict. It's hit or miss, but there's always hope.
@@Nunyabusiness954in this case it's likely best he wasn't shown on video. He gave up a drug dealer to police, that could make him a major target . Even just his name being said is risky.
Law enforcement and EMS did a great job handling this mess. I understand addictions are difficult to kick but this video is a good example of how drug use and overdoses affect family too. Children should never have to witness their loved one dying. I hope everyone gets the help they need 🙏🏼😮💨
The gentleman at the end saying, "as an officer I've never been able to keep anyone out of jail in exchange for inform" was very honest and ppl should pay attention to that. Respect to anyone who gets clean. In metro Detroit I've seen farrrrr too much of this. 😊
They showed that they really do care about the people they deal with, and the fact that the one officer carries Beanie Babies and other toys just for cases like this, should make it apparent to anyone just how much these men put into their work and how much it takes out of them
Maybe we should defund the addicts instead, stop wasting money trying to save people who are hell bent on killing themselves. In front of their kids no less.
@@theshadowfax239 At this point, that's like saying that for any demographic, but with traits chosen and traits inherited. All you ridiculous cretins won't sit down for two minutes and listen to how to actually make change, so there's no point in debating it because nothing will change, all because toddlers have to have tantrums instead of acting like the fully formed adults they supposedly are. Example: Defunding will do nothing but cause crime to spike, and Seattle, Washington DC, NYC, Chicago are all evidence of that. Demanding comprehensive training and an investigation agency that is not INTERNAL AFFAIRS for when shootings occur, those are just a few of the answers. But are you going to bother listening?
This was the worst click bait title for this video. Spoiler, it’s fake. The viewer was led to believe that the drug interdiction unit was going to piece and link everything back to a woman and that never happened. There is no connection between the male cases and female cases. Consider honesty when reporting on these cases in the future and not tactics that are inherently deceptive in nature. I’ve reported it for misinformation.
I agree. The stories, especially the first one, are good enough to not need click bait. Just tell the real deal, if it's a good story people will view, share and comment. Common sense.
It’s really disappointing because I was waiting the whole time for it to come together. I also never thought I’d be so interested in a mostly blurry video, so they definitely don’t need to trick us. It was really good otherwise.
Chris doesn't want to be a rat, revealing his source, but he's cool selling death to people with addiction. The delusion of his integrity is off the charts.
@@clevelandcbi Nah, he knows a large portion of ppl don’t like snitches so he’s more worried about snitching being on his paperwork. There’s others locked up that wouldn’t be locked up if someone didn’t tell on them too, so often times they will take that aggression out on Chris seeing his paperwork says snitching being they can’t get to the person that snitched on them. That & they want to keep getting away with criminal activity while locked up too so they will beat snitches into being so afraid that they will never tell on them if they happen to see/hear anything or get him to need to transfer out of the pod for his safety
If he's not selling drugs, someone else willl... and if that someone else gets busted... someone else will... .and if that person gets busted.... someone else willl... and if that person gets busted someone else will.... idk how people are so naieve about this.... Dealers aren't even really all that bad of people most of the time. Neither are drug users.... Nothing about how things are handled in this video solves anything, infact it only makes the lives of everyone worse, and is a detriment to society as a whole....
@@AlexHerlanmultiple lives were saved in this video so I wouldn't agree that nothing in this video helped anyone, and that paragraph repeatedly saying "someone else will do it" is so goofy like theirs bad drugs going around and someone is selling it so like are the police just meant to ignore their job? to stop helping make their safer and better? stupid take tbh
Man, whenever I think im doing bad in life, I watch these videos. It just makes me grateful I have my own crib, a career, and not addicted to anything like this. Life could truly be much worse.
I am almost a month clean from H and this just breaks my heart. Addiction is brutal. I hate myself for even trying it but I’m happy to be 100% clean. Day by day. Praying for him and his family. ❤ Edit: Thank you all for the amazing, beautiful, kind comments. Everyone has me in tears. Prayers to you all. Thank you again! 😭❤
I hope your battle will only get easier from this point on. Congratulations on getting this far. I am sure you'll look back at some point and be very proud of the fact that you turned your life around for the better.
Congrats. Just remember 1 day at a time. I'm 12 years off of opiates after becoming dependent on pain killers from a 60ft fall destroying my spine while installing directv. Prior to my injury I had never taken anything stronger than ibuprofen 800mg. I'll live in severe pain the rest of my life but I'm OK with that as I'm able to live, go to my sons travel ball games,hug my kids. The dr i was seeing for my injury is in prison as a few years after I stopped taking pills he was arrested for selling scripts. The dosage he had me on were insane but at the time I was ignorant and just took what was prescribed. I was a fking zombie and the pills altered my life more than my injury.
I’ve been clean since June 20th 2023 after almost 30 years of heroin and meth. Not just sober but CLEAN. I have developed love and respect for myself and can truly share that now with the people who loved me when I COULDNT love myself. It fills me with real hope reading all the comments from people who’ve overcome this selfish affliction. Life is worth LIVING. You guys are amazing❤❤❤❤(those EMTs and officers are pretty fucking rad too! Big shout out to those absolute HEROES! I love you guys!)
@@malfeitor1349 awesome! I am actively struggling right now. What is your best advice? I know that everything works for everyone, but I'm not doing so hot
I love hearing stories of people getting clean from heroin. My brother is sadly an alcoholic now and he used to use heroin for years and I was always scared he would OD. My friend's brother did OD .... Every single one of you who saves yourself gives me hope.
Some departments have that as "standard equipment" in a cruiser unfortunately. Some just have decal badges for kids, but its still important to have community engagement stuff like that.
@@trey4048 It is unfortunate because police interaction with children who are caught up in horrible situations is such a commonplace occurence for them that they resort to keeping a stash of brand new children's toys in their cruisers at all times. It's heartbreaking.
My brother and his wife both died from “heroin” that was actually mostly fent. My nephew is living with us now “god bless his young soul”. Lost his mom at 12 and his dad at 20. This epidemic needs to stop.
There's no heroin left in the entire USA. When I last relapsed I actually tested positive for both for a little bit and everyone was SHOCKED I had any real heroin at all. I soon stopped testing positive for h but the fent still was positive. Literally nothing but fent in the USA. Fake pill? Fent. Fake meth? Fent. Fake coke? Fent. And the last two don't even make sense.
@@NigelThornbery it's ALL fent now. Any fake stuff regardless of what it's sold as is fent. They even are cutting uppers (m3th) with fent because it's so cheap... When I was last using I actually tested positive for H for awhile ON TOP OF FENT. They were SHOCKED as everyone else was fent only. Eventually I was only pos for fent too but I actually had some half and half stuff... See if TH-cam deletes this comment too.
This is what you get when prescriptions are being handed out like candy instead of spending more on mental health services, they're gateways to worse substances.
@@mikal94as someone with chronic pain I can assure you they aren't handing out opioids like candy anymore. Hard drug addicts mostly come from people starting with street drugs now, the Rx to Street drug pipeline isn't as much of an issue anymore.
@@mikal94 are you stupid? do you know how incredibly hard it is to get pain pills from doctors these days? like for real just shut up. you dont know anything. go read a book
I'm really sorry! I'm 6 years clean. I had an OverD once in front of my ex fiance and she had one once in the middle of the night in my parents bathroom while the rest of us were sleeping. Me and her are both very lucky to be alive. I wish you the best!
I was an addict up until i turned 40 years old and overdosed over 40 times. I got 16 months clean today. So if you using stop not while you are still breathing!
Thank you to the officers and to Jared for eventually being honest. Our nephew was clean for 4 months and had a relapse. Used one time and died at the age of 20. I hope Jared sticks to being sober and has a wonderful life. As for law enforcement, keep doing what you are doing. You are saving lives!
“Remember me from the last time” broke my fucking heart. That poor child. I was raised by my grandmother. Same reason. But grandparents don’t live forever. I pray hers lives long enough to see her leave that home and be happy far away 💔

Why is it scary he gets to vote? He made an observation that most level headed people agree with. Are you being emotional because you're biased concerning drugs?
In the Jolene story, almost everyone involved was high as f*ck. The older lady was sweating balls while talking to the officer in the hotel, and the kid playing games was SO OUT OF THIS WORLD he didn't even flinch when Police grabbed everyone inside. I'm speechless.
I was a kid with an addict mother who always brought her addict friends around. I played video games to disassociate from the situation, it was the only way I could maintain my sanity. The night the police finally came to remove me from the home while my mom was having a breakdown, I was playing my N64 in my room up until the officer scooped me into his arms. It would have been a lot more traumatizing to focus on the horrors happening around me. If the kid can focus their attention on a better world until they're actually in a safe place, they'll be better off.
Because that's what happens when cops are compassionate instead of strict, which a lot of idiots keep demanding, especially when it comes to their "treatment" of the "underprivileged"
She recognizes the officers, has a collection of stuffies from them, and hits them up for another one each time. Thats so freaking sad. Somebody else would love this child in their family.
Yeah this guy obviously loves his kid but addiction to opiates is a friggin MONSTER!! Your own brain becomes an evil A hole constantly prodding you to get high. It's enough to drive you insane.
I’ve been clean and sober from IV heroin and fentanyl for 7 years this past June. I am a mom of three sons ages 22, 20 and 14. In all the years of my addiction there was never a millisecond that I didn’t have love for them. The problem with addiction is you don’t really have love for yourself.
I love that Jared was treated with so much compassion. These officers are outstanding, the way they talk to these guys with respect and humanity. This is how it should be. Obviously it works, because it allowed Jared to feel comfortable enough to share information. There’s already so much pain and shame involved in drug/alcohol addiction, the act of someone in authority helping can make a big difference.
As a dad... im fuckin sobbing listening to this interaction between the cops and the kiddo. Such wholesome officers. Good men. We need more officers like that guy. Above and beyond. Edit: some of yall seem more upset about my emotions than I was... I was sad for the kid, and felt the way I felt, if you feel like you're here to demean me for it, you can lick the sweatiest part of my taint and carry on, and have the day you deserve. I'm not your guy. It really shows your lack of maturity and understanding of your own emotions and I suggest you seek help for that.
You "sobbed" while watching this??? 😂 I'm a dad. It was sad. I didn't "sob" though 😂🤣. Ya'll are so dramatic in these comment sections sometimes lmaoo.
The cops getting his little girl a gift to hopefully ease her trauma it just broke me. I had to call emergency services when I was 13 cause my mothers adopted sister OD three times, and I was alone with her and her two small children. This just brought it all back to me. Listening to all the cops involved talking showed a whole lot of caring about him and his family.
No child should have to go through all that selfish adult bad behavior. I loved how they wanted to get the big fish, bc this drug epidemic has infuriated so many good American families and the big fish need to be put out of business. I hope and pray you saw this at a young age and made good decisions for yourself and your family and your future life. I read what you wrote and started praying for you immediately. We all could use talking to our creator about what we need his help with. That’s all he wants is for all of us to pick him, to choose Jesus in all situations good and bad, he will help us, all we have to do is ask him for help, purpose, love, understanding, hope, guidance etc etc. I love you sister Lil2Treeza. We all have hope for changes, we can do it with help from Jesus. There is power in his name! Just scream it to the top of your lungs, or whisper it, but either way, it works in ever situation. I’ve seen it happen. I know it work , Jesus works! Love you brave soul! ❤❤❤
Not really that full on 😂 it was pretty easy for them to get what they wanted. Dude didn’t want to go to jail because he’d withdraw so of cause he broke 😂 other addict family looked inbred and talked instantly too. All they had to do was arrest a few of them. The title of the vid was misleading. All small fish doing the job of a shark who they will likely never catch
@Kokolamar yeah and any other agency wouldn't go this far. My uncle overdosed and passed 4 years ago and the hospital called the cops for a report, hospital rule And they never even showed up. Thanks Cleveland PD
My sister dealt with a opiate addicted son for about 25 years and I think it was a relief when he passed away at age 39… she had done everything she could to keep him alive, but he combined fentanyl with something else and he was gone: they found him dead in his bedroom, blocking the door and his four-year-old daughter had been taking care of herself for two days.
A bit weird to read him his rights AFTER he was already interrogated by the officer. This whole situation was poor police work. The officer didn't give a toss about the guy they arrested first, all he cared about was who sold him the heroin. The officer used his phone to set up a drug bust with no thought of what the consequences could be for setting up a drug dealer. This is how people get murdered, but so long as the officer had his arrest, he didn't care.
This is one of the best episodes I've ever seen on this platform. Like, right up on the Investigation Discovery level for docuseries. It shows the heartbreak of drug addiction and the intergenerational trauma it leaves in its wake. Amazing job.
Yeah, I’m just a little confused as to how the title relates to the first story… It’s not as if she was responsible for the 50 other overdoses in her town. Wasn’t it just her great aunt?
These officers are exactly what we need our officers to be. Competent, efficient, professional, and also human and caring. Compassionate. This is what little boys and girls picture when they say they want to be a police officer when they grow up.
What?? No, they badgered and manipulated vulnerable people that were just coming out of an overdose into self-snitching thereby putting themselves in an even worse position legally and practically. As someone with extensive experience as a medic I was shocked by their conduct and frustrated that the medics didn’t kick them out of the ambulance for interfering with patient care.
@@CuriousMess61 When I see poor LE behavior and conduct I call it out, as everyone should. Just the same as I would if I saw bad conduct from a medic or firefighter. The fact you will blindly bounce on the LE schlong regardless of their actions speaks volumes about yourself and your view of what's ethical behavior.
@@CuriousMess61do you not understand the difference between a medic and a cop The pigs abused their powers, what they did in the ambulance are we not watching the same thing
Been there done that, OD’d in front of my poor loving mother. Luckily I was able to escape and still get a college degree and never get arrested. 6+ years clean now and would never go back. They don’t even have dope on the streets anymore, it’s just complete trash. So glad I’m done with that crap and have a loving relationship with my parents and family now.
That's exactly what I tell myself to stay clean !! It's not even dope that you're using all it is sedatives and fentanyl you don't even feel good you just pass out. I also wear a bracelet with my friends name on it who passed away from an overdose. She was so young and gorgeous so much potential waisted she would have been the best mother 😢
I live in San Fransisco and I can assure you there is real, dope. Right now there is pure MDMA, ketamine, China White and black tar heroin, really good cocaine, and my personal favorite, methamphetamine. The shit dope is synthetic - ala fentanyl, knock off xanax, etc. A small portion of the dope is cut with fentanyl. But if you have a dealer and a test kit you can safely use whatever you want whenever you want.
Why in the world do we not give serious jail time or why give 1yr credit for time served on a 5yr sentence? That is ridiculous and is definitely part of the problem! 😮
The police officer say “I always make sure I something for her” is sad and says a lot. I hate drugs and I hate addiction. I know it’s hard to break free but it’s hard to watch a family member struggle with it too.
Next month, November 8th, I'll have been clean from H for 6 years. I never used needles (because veins are gross) but it started with a torn groin & hydrocodone (Lortab 7.5mg) & turned into an 18 year battle. I'm sorry for what you're going through...please don't give up on your family member ❤
Amazing EMS, what lovely people that truly care about this family. I wished everyone was like this and also they work together so well that they must love their jobs. Thanks for choosing this career path xxx
The child is such a sweetheart. She has no business being around that situation. I am in recovery myself and I’ve had numerous situations where non users and children had to deal with this kind of thing
Congrats on being in recovery. I watched one of my parents get into meth after he and my mom split up, and it was really disturbing to encounter things like used needles or watch all the crazy things he did in his apartment after he got into using it. I can't imagine what it would be like to grow up as a child around a parent using hard drugs.
@@seanpellegrino2989 My two nieces and sister are meth addicts I love them so much but I HATE meth so much, it has ruined my family. My nieces look older than me, I HATE M*TH
I am SOO glad I was able to pull myself out of that horrible pit called addiction. Although I never used needles it was still SUPER hard to quit. Been clean for 8 years. WE DO RECOVER! Peace be with you.
I was an addict after being injured in Iraq and given large amounts of oxycodone for 2 years and my brother passed away from carfentanil overdose. Nobody ever says I can’t wait to be an addict it just happens. That little girl broke my heart. Poor girl has to grow up seeing that. It hurts everyone.
Thank you for your service. My brother did a tour and a half (he went AWOL, long story) and came back a whole different person. He leaned heavy into drugs and alcohol. He's sober now, but really the drugs are just a symptom of his real problems. Anyways, sorry for the rant, I just wanted to say thank you.
Thanks for your service. More then that i appreciate that you took responsibility for your addiction and didnt act like you are a victim of medicine! Thats a huge deal that i notice with you fellas from the service... yall take accountability for your actions .
I hope that Jared, his daughter, and his mother are doing well now ❤ Jared seems like he was getting it together but fell back into it. I hope he was able to get out of his addiction and live a happier and healthier life with his family
They might be polite, but those lives are still ruined. Any pig who says they can make a deal, is lying to get you to incriminate yourself and others, just like they did here. They really don't care who lives and dies, not one bit.
No danger from low level crackheads in that respect. His supplier is in jail until 2025 and wont be doing anytging to him once out. If anything he might be scared that they think hes a rat and stay away from that scene
People like you encourage the behavior of pretending snitches deserve stitches, and are the reason why we still need heavy handed policing because people with knowledge of felonious behavior don't come forward.
@@adeptusfantasticus Settle down, Inspector Reddit. Not once did I say he deserved that, only that it was potentially putting him at risk making the footage PUBLIC.
I was thinking the same thing! They had to give us their soundtrack. Imagine the video getting a copyright strike for this playing while drug dealers are getting arrested.
No one ever talks about how violently ill an opioid addict gets after Narcan. It’s an awful experience. You’re alive but in terrible withdrawal. I guess if opioid addiction were easy to overcome we wouldn’t have the issue we do.
As a family member of a recovered addict, clean for 5 years. I applaud you for getting and staying clean. I myself carry narcan with me wherever I go. I hope I never need it. I have another nephew struggling right now. It is torment to the addicts family as well as the person addicted. I know just how that mother feels. No one overdosed in my house, but my sister in law died in my sisters bathroom,. To all struggling I am praying for you!! You can make it through.
NJ pharmacy, no questions asked, they will give you Narcan. I'm not an addict or know anyone who is. I carry it in case someone in crisis ever needs it. If it's available, why not carry it to save someone's life. E It saves lives.
Heroin and Fentanyl nearly killed me more times than I remember. It seems impossible while actively using, but it is possible to overcome opioid addiction. Life is hard and bland in the beginning, but it gets easier with time. I pray for everyone struggling with this Devil. Jesus Christ died for me and you, and opening my heart and soul for Him is why I am still alive today.
I’ve yet to meet anyone whose life haven’t been either directly or indirectly affected by substance abuse, including myself. You are not alone. You are loved. You are worthy. You deserve life. Your family and friends are doing time *with* you. We want you here, but *you* have to want it as well. 🦋
I dunno, I have quite a bit of physical and psychological issues and at one point the pain I had from a spinal injury made me unable to live without drugs both prescribed and not, not as in they were needed for my survival but I would not be here without them if you know what I mean. I certainly have and had had problems due to my substance use such as impact of my health and motivation but tbh I'm a functional addict and I don't mind that I'm probably trading life span for quality of life, plus I just like to get wavy sometimes lol
I was arrested for possession of heroin and they never even asked me any kind of questions like where i got. Seems like a good idea to ask where to save lives. Ive been clean for 10 years now thanks for that arrest.
sentenced to 2 years in state prison. In reality that means 2 months in state prison. Remember folks, Judges and courts protect and defend criminals a lot more than the victims.
Wisconsin has truth in sentencing. So sentenced to 2 years in prison means 2 years in prison. People reading your comments need to know: you are just making things up to scare people and make yourself feel tough. It's kind of pathetic.
Jared please your little baby doesn’t deserve to go through this life without you. I hope whatever pain you’re going through passes quickly, for her sake and yours.
@@allergictoliberalism you seriously think the cops are ganna go after the big dealers? They definitely aren't going to because if they do that means they also got to arrest the cartel that is pushing the drugs thru the United States the government allows it
no one can fathom how strong opiate addiction is until you are deep in it. it's not long before people are using it just to survive. the withdrawal....i wouldn't wish on anyone.
I’m on comparatively mild (prescribed) opiates and have been for over 20 years. I have so many illnesses and have tried so many things and I cannot take anything else. I HATE taking them. If my prescription ever gets messed up it’s torture. The withdrawals are absolutely horrific. I definitely have an extra layer of empathy for people who are forced into withdrawals and a massive amount of respect for those trying to break free. And I know my experience is nothing in comparison.
Not that I agree with that thought but the idea behind that would be that the drugs would actually be pure and measured similar to how morphine is so less likely for overdoses as people would know exactly how much and purity of dose plus with it legal less stigma so people won’t be shunned when seeking help
Why do we make it so hard for people to stay off these drugs? There are medications that work and it’s so strong to make it hard to get them. The people who created this problem just paid some money and went on with their lives.

Y'all should do some research on the owner and CEO of Scentbird. She's... problematic in so many ways that put other people at risk.
I was addicted to opiates and heroin for 8 years, when I found out my girl was pregnant, i got clean. I made a promise to myself my daughter would never see me like that. She's 8 years old as of last month. Its not the kids fault they were brought into this world. And they have no control over how or who raises them.
Bless you. What about her mother?
What an amazing gift to your child, your family and yourself
Good on you, my dude!
Good on you. Nobody except those who have been addicted know how crazy difficult it is to stay clean. Best of luck to you
Very nicely done! As much as we love our kids, sometimes even that's not enough to stop. Doesn't mean you don't love your kids any less, just that you have zero control and need help.
We have about time, didn't use that long but clean since 2016. Had a compound fracture last year, they had my on a liquid drip in the hospital, but I was strong enough to tell my doctor not to prescribe me anything after the hospital. Extremely painful but *MUCH* better than the alternative.
Keep up the good work!!
As a doctor this breaks my heart. One week I lost 13 patients from a bad batch. I still struggle with that week. One of my patient’s mother went home and had a heart attack and died once we removed her son from life support. Worst week of my career for sure.
I don’t think healthcare providers get enough acknowledgment for the trauma you all experience from the effects of drug addiction.

@@christalh9151 He didn't have a choice they were gonna take his phone anyway
@@christalh9151 by that logic, you should blame the channel that posted this because they posted it, not the cops. their bodycam footage is public information that anyone can request. So, in that case, do we blame the cops for doing their job in an investigation? Snitches know what could happen if they snitch... everyone makes their own choices, and the consequences will match those choices. While I do agree that cops are never your "friend", in every scenario they are meant to be doing their job as such. Children are victims, however, and in those instances, cops can indeed be the victim's friend.

When the officer went to the little girl and said "hi sweety remember me? I always keep a gift for her in my car."

You have no idea what addiction does to people then. If someone is doing decent off of heroin, it’s absolutely INCREDIBLE… it’s nearly impossible to stop. Clearly he relapsed, and isn’t thinking straight what so ever. It’s horrible to do drugs in the house with a kid around but when your addicted to

Yeah. The last thing addicts need is judgement. They judge themselves pretty harshly.

That was hard to heard
It was absolutely devastating.
EXACTLY what I thought when I heard that... just horrible...
My brother did meth in his 20's and early 30's... he dealt enough to keep up his habit... what kicked his ass into reality and into rehab was when he found his 3 year old daughter in the closet with his scale and a bag of flour... she was trying to be like Daddy and weigh the "white stuff"... for a second, he thought it was his dope and he thought he had just killed his baby girl... he went to rehab that day...
That was more than 30 years ago and the thought of it still brings tears to his eyes... and mine...
It takes a village
My 5 yr sober bday is this May 3. I cannot tell u how beautiful this life is on the other side of addiction. I owe everything to my family and the first responders that saved me over and over. I thank u from the bottom of my soul. My brother is currently fighting those same demons but I can’t help him. My heart shatters every time he turns down the help. My prayers are with all those currently in the war and to those who have overcome. I love u and u are worth it ❤️
i’m so proud of you addiction is a constant and consistent struggle to overcome sending love!
These days, there are treatment options that can help you get off of the drugs (especially opioids /street and prescription) with VERY little to no withdrawals. I'm not just talking about methadone.. other things that are newer, like a shot you get 3 x, (once a month) , that from what I read has been amazing in helping people get off of street drugs and prescription methadone.. with very little to no withdrawals.
Maybe one of these things will eventually catch your brother's attention.
Im proud of you for holing on, for fighting through the temptations and chosing life ❤ no matter how hard it is sometimes, it is SO worth it! I wish you the best of luck and your family as well.

@@Wispertile This is their community. They grew up with a lot of these people. Small town life. Mostly, not always, but mostly, you'll see this in small towns throughout the south and Midwest. The cops will really try to fight to keep their little community safe. It's a wonderful thing!
It is unreasonable to ask others to spend their time, energy, and money on dead beat humans like drug addicts and single mothers. Think if we had all the taxes back from LBJ's War on Poverty. Imagine, if instead of spending tax money on dead beats, instead we spent it on productive people. A good student gets free college instead of teen mom getting free food and housing. A law-abiding citizen gets a low interest home loan instead of a drug addict getting his 25th free ER visit.
You get what you pay for and people like you pay for the worst people, so that's we keep getting more of.
You must be so naive thinking these cops are doing any good at all. This war on drugs was lost long ago and by punishing people with a medical condition no one’s winning, not the cops nor the addicts. It is all a huge waste of time and money that could be used for literally anything else and be more productive.
@@azovandy14.88Jeez, kid. Nice generalization... Just stop with the stereotypes already. The "systemic" tropes are tired and boring, and, easily refutable. "Defund da police" only benefits the criminals.
To all the addicts trying to get and stay clean… one small thing you can do to help yourself is change your environment and friends.
Quit hanging around anyone that uses and find new friends that are sober.
My brother, after he got clean, was in a convenience store and there was a cop in line ahead of him about his age. He tapped him on the shoulder and said “I was wondering if you could help me, I just moved to town and I’m an ex con, drug addict trying to stay clean. What’s there to do after work in this town that isn’t hanging out in a bar?”
That cop invited him to play in the departments softball league and there he met a bunch of other cops and firemen. He made several friends and later one of his firemen friends got him on the volunteer fire dept and they paid for him to get EMT training.
Surround yourself with people who lift you UP, not drag you down.
🥺🩷
@@InspiringNotionz I agree, a new environment and new friends can change his life. But it's not realy a small thing.
and for Christ's sake, STOP STEALING!!!
I always say change your people places and things. It works very well, I've seen it many times. Do not listen to those who say your problems will just follow you (those people are the ones abusing you!). While that is true if you allow for that, at least the horrible people wont follow you! Use your big brain! Be careful of the cops, especially the ones addicted to smoking on a pipe! Their are many perverted horny men dressed in priest outfits, uniforms and engaged in sexual slavery. Let us be honest with ourselves and protect the children.
And block them so called friends and dealers so they can't get ahold of you
RIP to my little brother Dan. 1988-2020. Tried to save him from a fentanyl OD when I found him on the bathroom floor, but it was too late.

@@patrickstotler1201it’s not about being gullible, it’s just basic human empathy dude
So sorry for your experience and as someone who deals with CPTSD I know how hard it can be. Having stacked trauma over the years I've been working with an awesome therapist who has helped me start to feel whole again. I know trauma rewires the brain and I know I'm not the same person prior to my trauma but that's okay. My awareness (hypervigilance) saved my life on Nov 22nd 2022 from being k1lled in a random attack. The attacker sh0t 9 rounds at my GF and I out for a walk as part of my PT from a car accident that was nearly fatal the Aug of 2022. While many people have one "Alive Day" I have 2 in less than a year. The head injury from the accident (TBI) and the attack kicked all the old trauma back up. But I survived with a single wound that missed everything vital in my leg by a 1/4". Had I not turned a corner when I did I would have risked losing my leg above the knee. Had I not had the "super power" of hypervigilance and watch people's hands, her and I would have been sh0t in the back from feet away. I carry the "what ifs" pretty heavy today but a shitload of guilt my GF now carrys the PTSD of that night. I see her exhaustion, anger and isolation. I see the pain in her eyes and know she doesn't think it will ever feel "normal" again. Especially since we live blocks from where we were ambushed. One day we were talking and I was trying to let her vent after one of many continued court dates over 23 months. She said to me. "The old me died that night. She's never coming back" and that broke my heart.
I'm encouraging her to get into therapy and I'm working to find a new therapist as well. My last one was out of my budget but still saw me for years as I was making progress. I followed her from another location that took my insurance. I took 4-5 years off of therapy until this event but I can't afford $150/week for a great therapist. I am doing the research for a good therapist now.
I hope you're finding/found peace in your C-PTSD. That's a horrible thing to carry every day. I do my best to help others dealing with PTSD. That's a really rough thing for anyone to deal with. No matter the cause
The fact that Jolene essentially caused the deaths of 2 people and almost did it to two others, and only got 2 years, is exactly why this keeps getting worse instead of any better.
Jolene didn't cause the death of anyone. jolene is an addict no different from the people who died except that she didn't die that doesn't make her guilty of their deaths. It keeps getting worse instead of better for many reasons but Jolene only getting two years isn't one of them.
@@alexisworst2568 dawg she has a record OF MANUFACTURING AND SELLING IT she is THE PROBLEM
@@alexisworst2568 the fact that it’s apparent there’s a family history of drug abuse has to come from somewhere and to be completely tone deaf her only getting 2 years is a direct result of why things will never get better having tighter punishments might make people think twice loose and lenient hand holding for drug addicts is dumb yes addiction is a true monster and I believe people deserve second chances but drugs don’t magically grow arms and legs and end up in people’s hands it’s a choice
No the problem is that it’s a crime to be an addict, so instead of putting people through a decent year long rehabilitation program where they can actually relearn to live and lead a normal life, they are sent to jail, which taxpayers fund, costing an absolute minimum of 60-75,000$ per year. And while yes, they do get clean, but in an environment where the inmate is forced to lead an extremely self centered life… jail/prison is something you have to survive, and is in no way conducive to living an ordinary, productive life. We as a society need to ask ourselves what it is we expect of these people, because jail doesn’t promote or prepare people to be productive members of society.
@@midori9_6hatch88 The potential (and now likely) outcome of using street drugs is already death. You think looking them up longer will change it? They're already not concerned about whether they die. My father died of an OD, a couple days after his last stint in prison over using. This was after overdoses, stroke, all kinds of near death experiences and being permanently crippled by the health problems it led to. Didn't stop him from doing it again.
Several member's of Louise's family have died of overdoses, but when they say "try this" she does! Crazy!

In my experience as the child of an addict who grew up seeing their parent OD multiple times it either goes one way or the other. I'm so terrified of addiction that I don't even want to take sleeping medication, but my brother is a full blown addict. It's hit or miss, but there's always hope.
Why blur this out? It should be shown for all to see, especially younger kids. Let them see what, rock bottom looks like.
@@joolzmac1I absolutely agree. Why even upload 30 minutes of content we can’t see?????
Also, I sincerely doubt a teddy bear will keep her from trying drugs. It’s a bit more complicated than that
@@Nunyabusiness954in this case it's likely best he wasn't shown on video. He gave up a drug dealer to police, that could make him a major target . Even just his name being said is risky.
Law enforcement and EMS did a great job handling this mess. I understand addictions are difficult to kick but this video is a good example of how drug use and overdoses affect family too. Children should never have to witness their loved one dying. I hope everyone gets the help they need 🙏🏼😮💨
The gentleman at the end saying, "as an officer I've never been able to keep anyone out of jail in exchange for inform" was very honest and ppl should pay attention to that.
Respect to anyone who gets clean. In metro Detroit I've seen farrrrr too much of this. 😊
They showed that they really do care about the people they deal with, and the fact that the one officer carries Beanie Babies and other toys just for cases like this, should make it apparent to anyone just how much these men put into their work and how much it takes out of them
That's why I get so angry when people are anti police or "defund the police" they save lives.
@@cyberturkey77 Because, as the saying goes, one bad apple spoils the whole bunch, and there are a lot of bad apples.
Maybe we should defund the addicts instead, stop wasting money trying to save people who are hell bent on killing themselves. In front of their kids no less.
@@theshadowfax239true but luckily there are more good apples than bad
@@theshadowfax239 At this point, that's like saying that for any demographic, but with traits chosen and traits inherited. All you ridiculous cretins won't sit down for two minutes and listen to how to actually make change, so there's no point in debating it because nothing will change, all because toddlers have to have tantrums instead of acting like the fully formed adults they supposedly are.
Example: Defunding will do nothing but cause crime to spike, and Seattle, Washington DC, NYC, Chicago are all evidence of that. Demanding comprehensive training and an investigation agency that is not INTERNAL AFFAIRS for when shootings occur, those are just a few of the answers.
But are you going to bother listening?
This was the worst click bait title for this video. Spoiler, it’s fake. The viewer was led to believe that the drug interdiction unit was going to piece and link everything back to a woman and that never happened. There is no connection between the male cases and female cases. Consider honesty when reporting on these cases in the future and not tactics that are inherently deceptive in nature. I’ve reported it for misinformation.
I agree. The stories, especially the first one, are good enough to not need click bait. Just tell the real deal, if it's a good story people will view, share and comment. Common sense.

Chris doesn't want to be a rat, revealing his source, but he's cool selling death to people with addiction.
The delusion of his integrity is off the charts.
Probably feared the supplier more than the sentence, but who knows? He's a POS regardless of his reasoning
@@clevelandcbi Nah, he knows a large portion of ppl don’t like snitches so he’s more worried about snitching being on his paperwork. There’s others locked up that wouldn’t be locked up if someone didn’t tell on them too, so often times they will take that aggression out on Chris seeing his paperwork says snitching being they can’t get to the person that snitched on them. That & they want to keep getting away with criminal activity while locked up too so they will beat snitches into being so afraid that they will never tell on them if they happen to see/hear anything or get him to need to transfer out of the pod for his safety
If he's not selling drugs, someone else willl... and if that someone else gets busted... someone else will... .and if that person gets busted.... someone else willl... and if that person gets busted someone else will....
idk how people are so naieve about this.... Dealers aren't even really all that bad of people most of the time. Neither are drug users.... Nothing about how things are handled in this video solves anything, infact it only makes the lives of everyone worse, and is a detriment to society as a whole....

Congrats. Just remember 1 day at a time. I'm 12 years off of opiates after becoming dependent on pain killers from a 60ft fall destroying my spine while installing directv. Prior to my injury I had never taken anything stronger than ibuprofen 800mg. I'll live in severe pain the rest of my life but I'm OK with that as I'm able to live, go to my sons travel ball games,hug my kids. The dr i was seeing for my injury is in prison as a few years after I stopped taking pills he was arrested for selling scripts.
The dosage he had me on were insane but at the time I was ignorant and just took what was prescribed. I was a fking zombie and the pills altered my life more than my injury.

Sweet police officers having gifts in their car for children. That goes beyond the line of duty.. What a lovely gesture 👏👏👏
Some departments have that as "standard equipment" in a cruiser unfortunately. Some just have decal badges for kids, but its still important to have community engagement stuff like that.
@@Sizukun1 Why would that be "unfortunate"?
@@trey4048 It is unfortunate because police interaction with children who are caught up in horrible situations is such a commonplace occurence for them that they resort to keeping a stash of brand new children's toys in their cruisers at all times. It's heartbreaking.
It’s the public that donates to the police.
That poor child, her own grandma wouldn’t keep her safe.
My brother and his wife both died from “heroin” that was actually mostly fent. My nephew is living with us now “god bless his young soul”. Lost his mom at 12 and his dad at 20. This epidemic needs to stop.
It won't. It's intentional.
I'm so sorry for your loss. With God's help you can make a good life with your nephew. I'm so glad he has your love to count on.
There's no heroin left in the entire USA. When I last relapsed I actually tested positive for both for a little bit and everyone was SHOCKED I had any real heroin at all. I soon stopped testing positive for h but the fent still was positive.
Literally nothing but fent in the USA. Fake pill? Fent. Fake meth? Fent. Fake coke? Fent. And the last two don't even make sense.
its a pandemic i feel sir how many more victims
@@NigelThornbery it's ALL fent now. Any fake stuff regardless of what it's sold as is fent. They even are cutting uppers (m3th) with fent because it's so cheap...
When I was last using I actually tested positive for H for awhile ON TOP OF FENT. They were SHOCKED as everyone else was fent only. Eventually I was only pos for fent too but I actually had some half and half stuff...

@@rpdx3 we found the drug addict
In the Jolene story, almost everyone involved was high as f*ck. The older lady was sweating balls while talking to the officer in the hotel, and the kid playing games was SO OUT OF THIS WORLD he didn't even flinch when Police grabbed everyone inside. I'm speechless.
I wasn't sure whether she was trying to inflate the green turtleneck looking thing or whether she was huffing something from it?🤔 lol😂👍
I was a kid with an addict mother who always brought her addict friends around. I played video games to disassociate from the situation, it was the only way I could maintain my sanity. The night the police finally came to remove me from the home while my mom was having a breakdown, I was playing my N64 in my room up until the officer scooped me into his arms. It would have been a lot more traumatizing to focus on the horrors happening around me. If the kid can focus their attention on a better world until they're actually in a safe place, they'll be better off.
@@watsonwrote I still have my N64 lol!😂
Aint no kid man he was 20 😂
Idk man, the kid just seemed like he's used to them getting in trouble and just wanted to play cod 😂
When Chris said he wanted to speak to his lawyer, the interview should have ended immediately.
No idea why they let the mom go back to the hotel. Baffling. She obviously ran back and told Jolene to get rid of whatever she had.
That's what I thought too
I thought the cops were going to the hotel right away when they said that.
I thought straight away that she was lying, she knew exactly what happened.
Because that's what happens when cops are compassionate instead of strict, which a lot of idiots keep demanding, especially when it comes to their "treatment" of the "underprivileged"
Lol lick the boot. So tired of jokers like you acting like addicts are criminals. Drug criminalization is anti American is spirit and in application.

It’s because he was sitting on a bag of dope lmao honestly not a terrible attempt
Haha yeah she told him to sit on that and not move unless the cops made him. Dude played his role perfectly though lol😂😂😂😂
She recognizes the officers, has a collection of stuffies from them, and hits them up for another one each time. Thats so freaking sad. Somebody else would love this child in their family.
I know, that was just heartbreaking 😢
Grandma loves the child in her family. She just has another troubled child to deal with.
Kid doesn't need a new family. She has a caring grandma and her dad is an addict- he needs to get it together but drugs don't mean someone is evil
Yeah this guy obviously loves his kid but addiction to opiates is a friggin MONSTER!! Your own brain becomes an evil A hole constantly prodding you to get high. It's enough to drive you insane.
I’ve been clean and sober from IV heroin and fentanyl for 7 years this past June. I am a mom of three sons ages 22, 20 and 14. In all the years of my addiction there was never a millisecond that I didn’t have love for them. The problem with addiction is you don’t really have love for yourself.
I love that Jared was treated with so much compassion. These officers are outstanding, the way they talk to these guys with respect and humanity. This is how it should be. Obviously it works, because it allowed Jared to feel comfortable enough to share information. There’s already so much pain and shame involved in drug/alcohol addiction, the act of someone in authority helping can make a big difference.

I had to call emergency services when I was 13 cause my mothers adopted sister OD three times, and I was alone with her and her two small children. This just brought it all back to me. Listening to all the cops involved talking showed a whole lot of caring about him and his family.
No child should have to go through all that selfish adult bad behavior. I loved how they wanted to get the big fish, bc this drug epidemic has infuriated so many good American families and the big fish need to be put out of business.
I hope and pray you saw this at a young age and made good decisions for yourself and your family and your future life. I read what you wrote and started praying for you immediately. We all could use talking to our creator about what we need his help with. That’s all he wants is for all of us to pick him, to choose Jesus in all situations good and bad, he will help us, all we have to do is ask him for help, purpose, love, understanding, hope, guidance etc etc. I love you sister Lil2Treeza.

My sister dealt with a opiate addicted son for about 25 years and I think it was a relief when he passed away at age 39… she had done everything she could to keep him alive, but he combined fentanyl with something else and he was gone: they found him dead in his bedroom, blocking the door and his four-year-old daughter had been taking care of herself for two days.

Omg. Poor baby. Thank God somebody found her, okay. Sad what this world has come to.
That is absolutely heartbreaking. The poor girl 😢 I'm sorry for your loss.
The compassion the officers were showing is truly so sweet, especially to the little girl❤
A bit weird to read him his rights AFTER he was already interrogated by the officer. This whole situation was poor police work. The officer didn't give a toss about the guy they arrested first, all he cared about was who sold him the heroin. The officer used his phone to set up a drug bust with no thought of what the consequences could be for setting up a drug dealer. This is how people get murdered, but so long as the officer had his arrest, he didn't care.
This is one of the best episodes I've ever seen on this platform. Like, right up on the Investigation Discovery level for docuseries. It shows the heartbreak of drug addiction and the intergenerational trauma it leaves in its wake. Amazing job.

I have another nephew struggling right now. It is torment to the addicts family as well as the person addicted. I know just how that mother feels. No one overdosed in my house, but my sister in law died in my sisters bathroom,.
To all struggling I am praying for you!! You can make it through.
NJ pharmacy, no questions asked, they will give you Narcan. I'm not an addict or know anyone who is. I carry it in case someone in crisis ever needs it. If it's available, why not carry it to save someone's life.
E
It saves lives.
You’re homeless,but you have heroin to sell.
She’s so nonchalant.
Gotta say, I love how much research you do into these cases, whether it's post or before hand, thanks for the seriously thorough video.
That dude never would have relapsed if he had a subscription to Scentbird 😢
I had tragically lost my biological mom from a drug overdose 5 months ago back on May 13th, and now her passing it has been the hardest ever 😢
Heroin and Fentanyl nearly killed me more times than I remember. It seems impossible while actively using, but it is possible to overcome opioid addiction. Life is hard and bland in the beginning, but it gets easier with time. I pray for everyone struggling with this Devil. Jesus Christ died for me and you, and opening my heart and soul for Him is why I am still alive today.
I'm so proud of you 👏
Amen
Yadah Yahusha ❤ So proud of you for getting clean!
Everytime I overdosed it was because I had clean time and my tolerance was extremely low
I nearly choked up when the cops bought the daughter a little bear. What wonderful human beings these guys are.
fucking pathetic, god people like you ruin this country
What's the use of showing pictures that are blurred?
I’ve yet to meet anyone whose life haven’t been either directly or indirectly affected by substance abuse, including myself. You are not alone. You are loved. You are worthy. You deserve life. Your family and friends are doing time *with* you. We want you here, but *you* have to want it as well. 🦋
Amen
I dunno, I have quite a bit of physical and psychological issues and at one point the pain I had from a spinal injury made me unable to live without drugs both prescribed and not, not as in they were needed for my survival but I would not be here without them if you know what I mean.
I certainly have and had had problems due to my substance use such as impact of my health and motivation but tbh I'm a functional addict and I don't mind that I'm probably trading life span for quality of life, plus I just like to get wavy sometimes lol
I was arrested for possession of heroin and they never even asked me any kind of questions like where i got. Seems like a good idea to ask where to save lives. Ive been clean for 10 years now thanks for that arrest.
fucking pathetic, god people like you ruin this country
sentenced to 2 years in state prison. In reality that means 2 months in state prison. Remember folks, Judges and courts protect and defend criminals a lot more than the victims.
especially under Soros
Wisconsin has 2/3rd sentencing law, so little more than 2 months bud. Try 16
You’re talking out of your ass. Trying to spread the same propaganda that you fell for.
@@HEAT4YOAZZ fucking pathetic, god people like you ruin this country
Wisconsin has truth in sentencing. So sentenced to 2 years in prison means 2 years in prison. People reading your comments need to know: you are just making things up to scare people and make yourself feel tough. It's kind of pathetic.
The drug dealer getting arrested with "I'm here without you baby" blasting in the background is hilarious
I'm happy Jared is owning up to his addiction and knows he needs help, because nothing will change without that.
Jared please your little baby doesn’t deserve to go through this life without you. I hope whatever pain you’re going through passes quickly, for her sake and yours.
I love how the cops will keep going up the chain to get the dealer above the dealer. Everyone is cooked
The people on the top?
@@GoAskAlice23the people that are selling the drugs
The cops go after the addicts not the dealers
@@Rjosephhhriiiiight, there's never been officers going after dealers 😂 ffs, you aren't a real person.
@@allergictoliberalism you seriously think the cops are ganna go after the big dealers? They definitely aren't going to because if they do that means they also got to arrest the cartel that is pushing the drugs thru the United States the government allows it
We can't lie, which I don't, but the same doesn't apply for cops. Cops can and do lie regularly. How can we trust them? Trust and respect are earned.
Trust, truth and respect are given when you don't break the law.
Thank you MS for this video on the devastation that heroin and addictive drugs cause .
that cute kid has MOUNTAINS to climb. how dare you burden your child when she should be safe and protected from the horrors of the world.
no one can fathom how strong opiate addiction is until you are deep in it. it's not long before people are using it just to survive. the withdrawal....i wouldn't wish on anyone.
I’m on comparatively mild (prescribed) opiates and have been for over 20 years. I have so many illnesses and have tried so many things and I cannot take anything else. I HATE taking them. If my prescription ever gets messed up it’s torture. The withdrawals are absolutely horrific. I definitely have an extra layer of empathy for people who are forced into withdrawals and a massive amount of respect for those trying to break free. And I know my experience is nothing in comparison.
Not that I agree with that thought but the idea behind that would be that the drugs would actually be pure and measured similar to how morphine is so less likely for overdoses as people would know exactly how much and purity of dose plus with it legal less stigma so people won’t be shunned when seeking help
Why do we make it so hard for people to stay off these drugs? There are medications that work and it’s so strong to make it hard to get them. The people who created this problem just paid some money and went on with their lives.
