This is why I carry narcan, I don’t use and my friends don’t either but I might be able to save someone’s baby one day.
I'm actually seriously considering that. It's so scary that someone can even *accidentally* ingest it somehow and end up near death/dying.
You are lying. Either your friends use or you don't carry it.
We definitely need more people like you
@@meghoughton562 I am considering it too
@MSF I don't use and I carry it! My doctor suggests everyone carry it. I believe the person that originally posted, some of us care enough...💖🙏
So heartbreaking 💔 I hope these parents can forgive their selves and find some peace. They are so brave to speak out for their boys.
So sorry for your loss. May the Lord hold your family in His love.
Over half the time they know the pills are fake but dont care….
Pathetic family. Train wreck.
We’ve also lost two brothers … very heartbreaking 💔.
💔💔
So heartbreaking! Prayers for all!
Noble of you to share your story and and to know that his donated organs could give someone new life.
I'm surprised the danger of ingesting ANY pill not bought in a licensed pharmacy isn't more widely known. If you are buying any pill on the street, regardless of what you or the dealer think it is, e.g., Oxycontin, Percocet, Vicodin, Xanax, etc., there is a better-than-even chance it also contains a lethal (fatal) dose of fentanyl. It may sound corny, but intensive education in high schools is necessary in this regard.
I'm. So sorry I lost both my boys to Fentanyl, my oldest and youngest
Repent, and turn away from sin! God loves you !! POINT BLANK 💯
🙏🙏🙏 for the family! Omg! Drugs don't discriminate. It's all about the money! Prayers for our kid's!
Our hearts break with all the families, that have lost a loved one to fentynal poisoning. Our hearts grieve with you. I hope that we can spread the warnings to all children that they can be educated about how deadly fentynal is.
God Bless you .
I had a friend say, everytime you take a drug its a gamble.
I am so sorry for your loss of your Son's. ... My Son was overdosed in 2011 Neighbor Monster's in my neighborhood A Mother and her to monsters . Murderd my son in 2011 this is murder to . We need New laws for the New world 🌎
Dad listening to you shows just how weak that I really am.
I lost a brother and a little sister to drugs. My baby sister died from fentanyl 11 mos ago.
I cannot imagine the grief of these parents who lost two children! I pray with all my heart that God will heal your wounds and keep you all together. Don't give up. We cannot bring them back but we must find strength in God to fight for survival, otherwise fentanyl kills all of us! Fight!
❤
Walk of HONOR??? That’s DESPICABLE!!!!!!
Why would someone knowingly put fentanyl in another substance. The drug dealers should be charged with murder.
These beautiful boys now gone. Have you noticed there isn't a type that is targeted. It's all ages, all types & walks of life. RIP to all targeted by laced drugs.
What are these children doing taking pills, in the first place???? I really don't get it!
Think differently-at least they will save on christmas and birthday presents from now on.
Parents need to have narcan around always especially if kids have a history of drug use . Laws and punishments have failed . Our system not working . These dealers are killers . Start public hangings saves money on incarnation and they cannot kill again . Sad all young drug users . Says alot something must be done . Condolences to all families .
US and Mexican governments need to get this shut under control.
Biden to give up his 10% from the cartels? I don't think so!
Kind of goes without saying, but maybe you should have spoken out after the first Overdose.
Your not to blame
My daughter was 4 years old. I took a down on the streets so they had the Guinea birds. The drug people, the prostitutes, the low lives of the world and I told her says if you don't get an education, this is where you'll be down here with some dude telling you what to do when to do a punch in the face using your body for his own use, make it money off. Of you, yeah, 4 years old, my daughter. That's true, college degreeshe's smart, as a swept straight a student. You can't live in a bubble that's the biggest problem in a lot of these kids you've got to take them to the the city take away they can see if you live in a state where there isn't n Ic in the booth states of America. It's got a hard to find some of them. But when there's a inner city take on whether the horror of people live drug people and prostitutes, they're like the alcoholics show them where they could be if they don't. Live their life to the fullest without drugs without being dictated to buy somebody beaten up or whatever it is that they see, let them see the worst of the worst than at least they really know whether they can lineup take them to the marks where people are dead. Say this is, this is just the way you wind up if you do. Drugs show them in the reality. Because these kids talking to him, they don't mean nothing. You gotta show them. They gotta see what their own eyes. Take them down in the streets when you see them. People open in the streets thousands and streets doing drugs and when the sun goes down. Show me how dangerous is that life can be take them to 10th cities where people live in tents do and drugs show them what it's like, then they can make a honest decision. Is this where I want to go? Do I want to win up dying? But if you live in a bubble you go to school. You come home and everything is just the way you see it. And you see nothing else you see a problem. Kissing to be in reality today. They've got to raise kids totally different amazing kids of the job. Doesn't matter if they're straight. A student doesn't matter if they get their homework done. They need to see reality today on the streets with their own eyes where they can wind up.
Cos 2 them if they can't see it, taste it. It doesn't exist you're just talking it's just talk talk they don't listen to talk😢😮
I guess little brother didn't learn from BIg Brothers Mistake
Narcan saves lives
why is our border open????
FEEL THE PAIN...
IT'S THE SAME PAIN FELT.
EACH TIME A BLK TEEN FALLS FROM A COP'S BULLIT...?
WAAAAAA😫😫
Narcan
Fun fact: there's family troubles to be on drugs. Parents have to look at themselves. I overdosed twice, died once. Doesn't matter what drug it is. It matters what the parents did to the kids to break away to drugs.
blame the pharmaceutical /medical community for the design and deception involved in this poison. all the while claiming it wasn't addictive, non addictive opium, right.
but of course doctors aren't educated enough to know opium is addictive, right.
and how could a pharmacist know anything about drugs?
countless times i have seen people hurt on the job, given enough of these to become addicted, then cut off to save a doctors license, only to turn to illicit sources , sell all they own, then turn to crime to buy more until a loved one finds them dead , to then be blamed by a someone projecting his own lack of responsibility onto grieving parents.
FUN FACT??? what's wrong with you?
@@barbarajohnson6987 ok. Fun truth.
Soooo they lose one son and you'd think they'd FINALLY take responsibility!! Nope!! It's the drug dealers fault?????? 🤡🙄 Not the son that CHOOSE to do drugs!!!! 🖕🏾 Accountability!!! Maybe had they taken some Jacob would be alive!!! It's the PARENTS fault!!! 🤡🙄
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Concentration camps is the answer. Provide services at these camps.
They made their choices
You don't understand addiction. No one wants to be an addict. It's a monster that takes over and it's a daily battle. Educate yourself or pls don't comment.
@@barbarajohnson6987 don’t start using or used drugs so you wouldn’t have any problems. We all make a our own choice in life and choose our own path so if you F* up your life have no to blame but yourself. Use your brain if you have one.
I've been sober for 6 years and stories like this make me so thankful every single day 🙏
yes, the solution.
Awesome, sweetheart 🙏🏼yes, thank God💜💯
Haylee what a life it feels so good being sober now I’m praying my little brother shakes the addiction and start living again!!!!
@@redbone8844 When he hits rock bottom I promise he will get Is sober. I will be praying for him. When I get pregnant with my son it really saved my life. I never went back
@@hayleeatkins7118 Your son was your blessing in disguise I’m so happy for you and pray you continue your journey on staying sober it’s such a beautiful thing! I can actually live now my brother is slowly coming around one of his friends who is addicted to PCP lost everything and was recently put out of the house by his wife so yes continue to pray 🙏🏾 for them and their addiction names are Chris, and Michael thank you beautiful 😘
As a mother who lost her 21 y/o son to fentanyl, thank you for being so aware of a problem that is killing a generation…there needs to be mandatory education with fentanyl in every school. But there is not. This poor family loss is horrible. You can tell the remaining sibling is trying to hold it together for her parents,but I guarantee she is pained to her core
I tried to talk about fentanyl with my niece...she's in her early 20s. Her parents got angry at me. They have "not MY child syndrome"! I don't care how angry parents get... it could save their kids life to hear about the dangers of fentanyl!!!!
I hate that this happened to your family. It definitely should be discussed in school at an elementary level. Kids as young as 12 are dying.
The schools would rather let drag queens read to kids and promote transgender pronouns.
Wtf how many cases are ou there?!!
Sorry for your lost ma'am
Im an addict too. And i want to be sober
Don't blame others for the drugs, blame yourself. He is an American, seemed to have had a good childhood with family, and had freedom to say no to drugs. The consumption drives the demand, not the flow of drugs.
@@jacqueslee2592well, doesn’t take a genius to recognize consumption is a problem but let’s be real here. China (think the CCP) are the ones shipping the chemicals into Mexico to be processed into fake pills and other drugs. My son made a choice one time, but you need to do a little research on how the opioids affect the brain receptors. Once you’ve made the bad choice (usually as a teenager or young adult - before your adult mind is completely formed)the drug controls you. Obviously you have never seen this first hand (aren’t you lucky)otherwise you would understand what a major problem this is. Thankfully, I don’t let comments like yours bother me much anymore. Because I know you don’t really have any idea of what is really going on. If you did, you would run in horror and not make comments like this on videos where parents have lost their children and are just trying to warn other parents. Get a life
If losing your big brother to drugs isn't enough of a lesson, what is?
Sorry for everyone.
I agree, there is personal responsibility there.
We dont know how is depres in other so is better not to talk loud
@@gonzaloarvietti4920 No, it's important to have compassion, and still be honest. The problem, is not talking out loud.
I love how lax the parents were when they thought there son was ordering regular old "Illegal narcotics" but freaked out when they found out the narcotics were lace with fentanyl!!!??? That's like diving in shark infested waters but Worried about the bacteria that's inside the water. "We live in weird times"??😐
I can’t imagine the grief this family feels , so very sad . 😢
That poor daughter -having to live with this -the addict always becomes the focus of the family
My heart goes out to all of them. Especially the mom.
@Dee Santer I was trying to be nice🤦♀️😶 I honestly don't see losing one child to a drug then totally ignoring the red flags for the second on.
But I guess if you are preoccupied by so many other things then there you have it.
My heart does not, they chose to do drugs, playing Russian roulette with their life and families. One less addict to support. I'm praying for kids with Cancer who actually want to live.
This was my cousin I miss him greatly and can’t forget him he was my best friend for my entire life Rest In Peace jack bob lawrencium you will be greatly missed
May God give you strength!
He definitely has a great life, because those two look like awesome parents.

Stop 🛑 What was this family saying about people during the crack era? Probably didn’t give 2 shidds. IJS
My step son died at 19 years old. I believe it's homicide as well. I now must add that I lost my niece today as well. Something has to give
I'm so sorry. This has to stop.
@@meghoughton562 Yes they should stop taking illegal drugs. Play silly games get silly prizes.
Homicide? BUT SOME ONE FORCE HIM TO BUY TO A DEALER THE PILLS???Who?
Truly sorry for your tragic loss!!
We have to fight this demon called fentanyl until the gov does something about it!!
We must demand the gov do something!!
He was forced to buy/consume illegal drugs?
I can't even imagine having to deal with that twice. My heart goes to the family.
Why are these young people taking pills in the first place? So,so sad,when they give in to the temptation that takes their lives!!
Facts💯
My grandson was poisoned by fentanyl in Louisville in 2020. The police didn't do much of investigation even though they were given so much info and names of people who seldom him the fake xanax. 💔😢
I'm not surprised.
Your grandson died taking illegal drugs. His choice, his fate.
Same here in Minneapolis. Lost my 24 yr old daughter Dec 1, 2022 💔to fentanyl and her case is still open. Taj K. who was with her and gave her the fentanyl didnt try and save her when she was overdosing. He didn't come get us until 1pm the next day. He threw the pills in the in the trash, which we found later. He even told the cops who he bought the pills from and they still let him go and didn't keep his phone. All the evidence was let go. Police need to treat these cases as homicides not just another overdose. MN is a state with drug induced homicide law so still praying for justice.
Law enforcement does not investigate overdoses. I think they should since so many people are dying because of fentanyl.
@@yolandarobles4301That’s 100% false. Law enforcement investigates all sudden and unexpected deaths. My baby died in her sleep and they did a full investigation into that. Suicides get investigated. Should I give a list of all the high profile overdose deaths where someone has been criminally charged? They’re doing an investigation right now into how Matthew Perry got the ketamine.
Oxycodone isn’t better. I keep hearing stories of these kids choosing to do these Drugs. I have lost a lot of people but there needs to be some accountability
These kids need to be held accountable every time a junkie buys drugs here that money goes to violent cartels that pay hitmen to murder people. I have zero sympathy for someone who takes drugs and overdoses mabey dont take drugs if you dont wana overdose.
Oxycodone is wayy better and less deadly thats a fact
Everywhere I look there’s someone who’s lost someone to this drug, this is seriously scary man. We have to do better as people and talk to our kids about these things… I’m so heartbroken by this tragedy.
It close the border?
@@alicelong3613 It's EVERYWHERE.
And yet they wanna ban guns! Like guns less than half of the fatalities from fentanyl!!
@@meghoughton562yeah being made in China and Mexico bro g brought over the border -wake up
Family in Jackson ohio when fentanyl first hit had 2 sons who was best friends shared everything. One day the older brother got some pills and shared them with his younger brother. The older one was rushed to the hospital and died. The younger brother took one of the pills before going to the hospital and died at the hospital in front of the family. Out of all my friends from high school nobody is left because in ohio fentanyl has taken them all. From my point of view we are under attack and currently in a chemical warfare
I agree with you . China and Mexico are our enemies . The weaker the people easier to take over .
I think your right
I think your right
I lost one son to knee surgery error and I can't imagine losing one like that. God bless all of you.
@T Raybern, REALLY dude?? 🤬🤬
T Rayburn you’re a lame
I'm sorry for your loss. There's always a risk when someone has surgery.
Dear God that's devastating. I'm so sorry.
So so sad. I couldn't stop my tears. God bless them.
IM sooooooo sorry for you and your family. Same thing happened to my son 18 months ago. He was only 14 yrs old. God bless you all
This is very painful!!! I am sorry for these parents!
Found him in vomit and said oh I guess he is ok. Dang. No narcan. The kid himself KNEW that the pills could b tainted. That whole story is strange
He took a shower and they thought he was ok.
And he “walked” himself to his own death?? I’m so confused….
Dearest Parents, My deepest condolences in the loss of your beautiful sons. It was not your fault. Your story will help someone. May God grant you peace and strength today and in the days ahead. Hugs. Pamela
Don't blame others for the drugs, blame yourself. He is an American, seemed to have had a good childhood with family, and had freedom to say no to drugs. The consumption drives the demand, not the flow of drugs.
Sorry for loss. But after 1st child dead sounds like absent parants. 2 dead really. Parents to busy working and just let kids do whatever. Pay attention to your kids and beware of what they're doing.
Do you think you can stop this. I would take my sons phone when he passed out to see what was going on. Searched his room. Checked his poc 6:10 kets when he walked by.He was in and out of re-habs. Kicked him out of the house. He had suboxen pills available and had the shot lined up. Found him on the bathroom floor. Nasal spray didn't work. He passed from a needle with cocaine laced with fentynal. Had so much support and still he couldn't stop.😢
I am the Director of advanced rapid detox, we do detox under sedation for patients who are addicted to Fentanyl -This is just a nightmare.
Nancy Reagan was right-"Just say no"
Just say no to drugs what’s so hard about that?
Yep
You think he would have learnt after his brother died from it.
He has now
they should not be using drugs period
Train wreck family. Pathetic buying illegal drugs from a shady dealer.
Such a sad story I'm so sorry that this has happened to your family
Wow. I feel sorry for the sister. The mom says “everything was always Jacob Jacob Jacob” while she sits there with her body telegraphing discomfort at how the golden child was fawned over. She’s all they have left like a used condom on prom night. This family needs a lot of trauma therapy.
That daughter said everything with her facial expressions. The lack of awareness especially from the mother is shocking.
How can our government let this in? Parents, God bless you. Neal Apollo Beach Florida
I would be terrified to have kids of school and college age now. Mine are grown and never got into pills when they were younger. Thank God. One of my 3 kids did smoke pot back then when he was in college which I never agreed with. Pills didn't seem to be what kids did back then. It was mostly Pot and Alcohol. These kids don't realize that this is not a drug that you can't experiment with. It's ONE AND DONE. That should be the slogan for this horrible drug. My heart goes out to this family. To lose one child, horrible, but two, unimaginable. 🙏
I agree when I was in college 20+ year ago! You knew what you were getting!
Now Pot is laced with fentanyl 😢so sad!
Kids don’t know what they are getting into trying to fit in
I agree!
@T Raybern
Im sorry to say it is the buyers fault 100% of the time
The fact of the matter is
If these people weren't abusing some sort of illegal drug
They would all maybe still be alive .
To blame fentanyl. ..is misguided and musdirected .
Im an addict in recovery .. 15 years now
Don't blame others for the drugs, blame yourself. He is an American, seemed to have had a good childhood with family, and had freedom to say no to drugs. The consumption drives the demand, not the flow of drugs.
If you carry Norcan and try to administer it to some stranger in the street and do it incorrectly, can their family sue you? Or is here a sunshine law for Good Samaritans for this drug ?
I don't see accidents. I see awareness that's being ignored. We know fentanyl is out there in the streets. Responsibility falls on the user not to supplier.
PARENTS: When your child learns the multiplication tables is when you HAVE TO Drill into them... NEVER EVER TRY DRUGS. I did this from 3rd grade till they left for college and it WORKS. Parents.... it is up to you to educate you child and to WARN them to NEVER TRY ANY DRUGS. Please do this. Those conversations will SAVE you endless pain later on!!!!
Why are parents allowing their kids to do drugs in the first place in their freaking homes 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
They say they'd rather then do it at home because they can monitor them?! Apparently they weren't monitoring enough!! 🤡🙄
@@AnastasiaBeaverhousn this was my cousin in the video he hid a lot from his parents
Do you realize how sneaky kids are? You can't monitor them 24 hrs a day.
At the end of the day, kids and adults make CHOICES. Children can be raised in a good household with good parents and try drugs because they are curious or because they have bad friends who encourage them to do bad habits. Everything we do in life is a CHOICE.
They made a choice 🤷🏻♀
Please pay attention to your children and DO use the old school parenting that they want us to forget about. At this day and time we need the old school and even more to keep our children alive. That peer pressure is a beast. Kids will just pop a pill in their mouth if offered, just to be liked. Its that serious.
Fentanyl-contaminated organs can be donated?? 🧐
This was my cousin they kept him on life support until his system cleared from all drugs
@@crogthecreator7290 That is a very interesting detail! Than you, for illuminating that aspect.
🥴🤣🤣
I pray this family stop blaming themselves. I know it’s hard, but it’s not their fault and never was. It was simply their time.
It seems like taking drugs is nothing special no more. Seems like everybody is doing it
Fentanyl laced organs, oh. no. No thank you.
Such a tragedy. Don't take drugs. Period.
My heart goes to you and your family from Fentanyl a drug worst than Anthrax.
Good point!. 😕
Anthrax isn't a drug, it's a communicable disease
God bless our children in the name of Jesus Christ Amen 🙏
.....But they made a personal choice to purchase and use illicit drugs. This was preventable.
That's so sad
People KILLING people with FENTANYL
Don't buy street drugs I'm so glad I don't mess with it I feel for everyone who lost someone because of this awful drug stay safe
Today's dangers exacerbated by technological advances, have surpassed the parents' ability to protect their children. You could see and hear the disbelief and a bit of naivety I dare say, still there. They need help from the state and legislation.
Maybe the media should talk more about where fentanyl comes from and who is responsible - Biden and the cartels!
You mean china and the cartels ...How is this Bidens fault? The fentanyl epidemic started when Trump was in office!
Start being better parents, people are killing people with that stuff, on purpose. Did you teach your children, "just this drug is ok"? "Oh, he thought it was oxy." Why are you teaching your kids to do oxy? Terrible parenting.
I'm so 😞 sorry! God be with you 🙏. 🫂🫂🫂
Damn! I just can't imagine.
Glad childfree humans are finding a way out of the evil corrupt hell realm! ❤❤❤ they are forever at peace now.
Here’s your Darwin Award….
Something is odd in that house
Exactly. Not just once, but twice? 🤔
I feel for the family Such a horrible loss .These drug dealers are loosing a lot of their customers 🇦🇺❤️
Fentanyl is the miracle drug getting rid of all our junkies.
Until u stop blaming other's, people will keep dying. They lost one son n a second because they dont see this for what it is. You have to be honest with yourself if u wanna stop it. Its not homicide its suicide.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
May God bless your family ❤️😻
Dew Jesus!!! Jehovah..Let your kingdom come, let your will be done on earth as in heaven.
