People don’t realize that when you loose someone you love so deeply that every happy memory becomes a sword through the chest. Tell your loved ones you care. You never know when it’ll be the last time.
Her common sense and thought process is extremely valuable. She’s learned, sadly the hardest way, what many people choose to ignore. I pray for her that she continues her mission in educating others as a way to honor her son.
Bless you Kyle's mom , I also lost a child when she was hit by a car. I do know that kind of undescribable pain. What a beautiful smile you're son has and I do believe you did an outstanding job raising him. So many kid's have heard about fentanyl and little it takes to kill them. Yet, kid's thinking is I'm young nothing is going to hurt me. Nothing as small as one pill. But it does. We are in a war to save our children in so many ways. All we can do is keep talk to them, educating and sitting down with them and having them watch these videos. They tell the truth about THIS world and it can happy to anyone. The day's of drug experiments ARE OVER. ONE PILL KILL'S. GOD BE WITH ALL YOU FAMILIES.
She is grieving and trying b strong. It’s njce she speaking out so sad def was a tainted pill. It’s all over and seems like o done about it soooo sad. Heart breaks for her I lost my son.

Kids aren’t always trying to cope. It doesn’t mean he was hurting, the reason he took the pill. Some people, especially teenagers, just want to get high because it’s fun. He looked like a happy kid.
This is so terrifying. I’m only 28 but at least I grew up in the era of real pharmaceutical pills. These kids hear of percs in rap songs and want to do them but they end up getting the fake fentanyl ones. It’s so sad because if he had gotten a real oxycodone he would definitely still be here today.
@@02WIFE Satan is the conductor of music rappers preach evil and demonic lyrics to influence the masses just another clever trick of the endless lies and deceit.
Many of the kids today do not even know what a real oxycodone looks like nor take the time to research online with a medical pill identifier which would show them what a real oxy looks like. The real oxy of today is white in color not blue and in addition they are only issued in three different milligrams . There is no 30 milligram oxycodone today, only 5 , 7.5 and 10.5 being the highest. Due to my injuries overseas, I am unfortunately addicted to my own pain scripts and found out I was addicted during my last vacation to Europe where a situation arose where my vacation flight back was extended a week more than my original return back. I only taken with me the amount prescribed to keep on hand for during my original trip not including the week extension where withdrawals had kicked in. I am on the highest milligram of oxycodone and the highest milligram of what my doctor stated contains the same ingredients as heroin for me to be careful with the narcotic itself with that mentioned. Kids of today should utilize online pill identifiers , look at the photos of the pills themselves and in addition research the milligrams of each medication first and foremost. This alone can save many lives in itself.
Rest in peace to my cousin ❤️ he was a beautiful soul this is still very hard and sensitive for us nobody in these comments knew my cousin so if you don’t have anything positive to say don’t comment on this video joking around being negative.
Such a handsome, bright, beautiful young man. I wish there was something I could say or do to bring him back. I’m so sorry for his mom’s and his family’s loss. As a former classroom teacher, I feel it is IMPERATIVE we step up our education efforts. This is NOT a substance that affords second chances.
As a new parent, I need these videos. The pain is indescribable. My mom was killed in a drunk driving accident when I was 3 and it killed my grandma slowly, seeing these people power through and try to show others the signs.. it gives me so much hope. Thank you for these videos
Hearing and seeing how she lights up talking about her son is beautiful. You can tell she understand that now, instead of being a phone call away, he's just a thought. How powerful and moving. Wishing this mother healing, peace, love, and light as she navigates this new journey in life. You did everything right and are one hell of a fantastic mother. Thank you for sharing your baby's story 🤍
Happened to me. He stopped all sports. All he wanted to do was get high and game. And yes. They will listen to a friend before they listen to their parents. My son also passed due to fentanyl.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your son ! to this horrible drug Fentanyl,….. My heart breaks for you !! Our son is 23 He had Down’s syndrome and is autistic And though their was great grief at the time he was born about his disabilities I’m glad he is the way he is He is a wonderful young man though still a little child and I’m so grateful that no one can give him a pill !! we just adore him…..I’m praying for you all dear family this pain affects all of you
Found these stories by mistake but I'm so glad I did. Trying to educate myself so I can educate my children. So sad 😞. Praying for you and your family's strength and clarity in the days ahead 🙏🏾 ❤️
I'm so sorry for your precious loss. This epidemic is absolutely terrifying. Kyle was so young that makes it even harder. I pray that you can find some kind of peace. God bless you mama 🙏
She is so brave. The only reason she’s putting herself out here like this is for other parents and their children to not suffer as she has and still is ❤
I am so very sorry that your baby boy is no longer with you to share his precious enthusiasm for life with you. Please keep telling his story. Thank you for your courage.
Thank you so much for talking about the difference between prescribed fentanyl and the fentanyl in the pills being put out on the streets. I have been on it since 2005 for chronic pain as many do and this crisis has been a living nightmare for most of us. I am so very, very sorry about your son. Nobody deserves this😢
@@TexasPictures thanks you for taking on this story. It also deserves to be told as it can be just as tragic as all the others. Keep up the great work!
Yep. Had it in the hospital and it helped with my pain but was scary to me because nobody told me before injection. Sucks people have gotten ahold of it
Fentanyl is such a deadly drug and it’s a epidemic now , my daughter lost her father 9 months ago to fentanyl OD. Unfortunately his entire family enabled him and now my daughter who is 9 gets to suffer those consequences
Thank you to this mom for bringing her son’s story to us. We need to model and talk to our kids about how to handle distress AND boredom. We have more leisure time in our society than we have ever had. And boredom does not equal sadness. And does not need to be “fixed.”
What an amazing and smart young mama. All my love and prayers to you mama. I am so sorry for your loss. Don’t blame yourself for anything your son thought you hung the moon and knew you loved him very much. That much I am sure! I’m so sorry this lesson of his was the hardest. He didn’t deserve that. Rest in peace to Kyle. Living on through your work helping support the others in your community and watching this video! I lost two of my very best friends to fentanyl poisoning. It does get better, but I could never imagine losing my child. Hugs*
how can you call her amazing and smart if she got her son killed? 🤣🤣 she messed up his entire social circle by taking him out of highschool. She's just yet another failing obnoxious single mom. I'm glad for her dead son, he doesn't need to bother with her craziness any longer.
These stories are such a hard watch but its nice to see more awareness being raised, you always hear about the fentanyl death statistics but to listen to a parents story of losing their child makes it really hits home. RIP Kyle. I hope we find the solutions to fixing this crisis soon!
Thank you for having the courage to tell your beautiful sons story! I have 2 boys myself, and it’s so scary. Parents like you speaking up hopefully these deaths will slow down.
I love that she is now helping other families. And I’m so glad she mentioned taking something for headaches or cramps! Jesus! Even without I’ll intent, you might get something someone else didn’t know had been tampered with. Due diligence from now on. Stay safe, everyone.
So sorry for your loss. They tell these kids it's a percocet or something and they have no idea it's something lethal. The people that make that stuff are evil.
@vetements2443 .. besides being disrespectful in which I do not see the need for you to be towards Ms. Michele Miller just for her pointing out facts, may I ask you what she has stated in her comment that actually made you so hateful. *Again all she did was point out facts of these matters regarding where fentanyl is concerned. Give her a break already, geeze* !.
Just say NO. Say NO to peer pressure. Instill that to your kids. It’s ok to say NO. It’s not worth it. I remind my 19yo daughter that all the time. I share the videos with her. Watching from Australia. All my love to the families you have lost ❤.
I told my son if he took drugs and died they would have to bury me with him. It would kill me too. He was nine years old. He cried. Parents: say it however you need to say it. It’ll hopefully keep them alive.
Thank you mom for doing this video in memory of your son. I’m a retired nurse and I wasn’t aware until recently the dangers of this drug. You seem like a great mother. Please in no way blame yourself for any of this. Your son was experimenting as other teens will do. You’re doing so much to raise awareness. If you help just one teen you’ve done a wonderful thing. May God bless and comfort you.
7 years ago I had a large spinal cord surgery. The first thing they did at the hospital was to put a Fentanyl patch on me. I immediately had a reaction to the patch and ended up in ICU unit. By the time the nurse's noticed that I was having a heart attack. Stay away from any type of Fentanyl pills, patches, etc.
I think this was one of your most moving and informative videos yet. This one, I feel the kids can watch and really learn from. I sent it to my sister’s to show my nephews. I’m not sure why this one comes across more appropriate than others for young kids or why I feel it’s more educational. I appreciate this one in such a different way than the others.
Strong mom ! Rest in Heaven Kyle your mom truly love you I feel the love through her emotions and words sorry this happened this is allowing me to teach my teenager these things that I would never think could happen thank you for sharing with all of us
My heart hurts for you, your Family and friends 😢 Prayers and condolences 🙏 I thank YOU for your candid, to-the-point conversation to the world here…we need it, thank you 💕
Kyle's mother Stephanie , was indeed incredibly strong for the most of the video over her son Kyle's death of fentanyl poisoning. I am for sure sending my condolences and prayers to all the family and friends at this time. I have lost both family and friends not long ago this month and over the years of this deadly narcotic also. I wished I could of given her a big hug during her short breakdown near the end of this video to be by her side with going through a similar tragic outcomes. Praise God for her strength overall and becoming a councilor while spreading awareness to others. Awareness thanks to this channel and others is indeed spending awareness however much more needs to be done daily for the sake of our loved ones and families. Thankfully law enforcement is doing much more in regards to this crises as well as the courts in sentencing the dealers, traffickers aka mules for the cartels and upon those dealers whom sell that ends up killing innocent people. I have read convictions from 13 years up to 25 years to life already sentences by the courts upon conviction and I am positive the results of the courts is in the back of the minds of those dealing, trafficking and those charged with murder as a result of all of this spreading awareness to those criminals on fentanyl as well as awareness by individuals like Stephanie and channels like this to the innocent citizens out there therefore thankfully awareness is reaching every single one of us today in regards to this poison taking the lives of both family and friends alike. *Stephanie if you are reading comments, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do as my heart indeed breaks for you, I wish I could again give you a big hug with all the pain you are experiencing* . *Sending you much love in the years to come with you being a active advocate for others* !
So sad to hear that you lost your boy. You seem such a good mother. He is never gone he is in your heart forever with you. And thanks for sharing your story it takes courage, but shame on governments who never warn people enough about fentanyl problems
Watching these always make me realize how lucky I am that this never happened when I was young and hooked on pills myself. Such a scary pandemic and I hope the world sees change soon
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my nephew to an accidental overdose from fentanyl on December 18th, 2022. I know what you are going through. It's the hardest things my family has gone through. Love and light to you
This breaks my heart to hear this. I'm really sorry for your loss. Praying God gives you ALL the strength needed, my condolences to you & your family 🙏🏻 ❤️ 🫂
I just came upon your story, and I know words do not help, but I am so sorry for your loss-words are meaningless, but please know I hold you and your son in my heart! Love to all, may you find peace and solace in the coming future..
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you. I have a 16 and 19 year old and I fear everyday (especially the 19 year old who smokes weed) that one of them will just accept ONE pill. I have shared your story with both of them. I pray for you and your grief. I pray God will comfort you. God bless.
This really scares me so much! Not even two weeks ago my 16 year old son had a vape pen with THC, and had been smoking it. I was so mad at first for not knowing who sold him that damn pen, but then again, he made the decision to buy it with money that was supposed to be for his hair cut! I don't want to be the next parent who loses a child to "fentanyl overdose" And what really makes me more upset, it's that these kids don't know a lot about this fawking drug!
@@supremegod1006 i mean illegal carts are dangerous and probably full of carcinogens but i don't think they're likely to be laced with fentynal like pills are
I'm a recovering addict and very thankful. I survived a fentanyl over dose almost 2 years ago. I've been clean almost 18 months. I'm so grateful for my wife coming home from work early and finding me sitting in the driveway at my house the truck was running in gear my foot on the brake. Lord knows I would be dead if she hadn't found me and called 911 I was on Life support for 3 days. I owe her everything.
This video is so excellent. I love and respect this beautiful mother and her story. Her son was so beautiful. This is so tragic and heartbreaking. I deeply appreciate what you have shared with us. Thank you for so bravely raising awareness of this harrowing issue.
..SO BRAVE AND STRONG WITHOUT A DOUPT YOU WILL SAVE THOUSANDS OF LIFES .I ALSO LOST MY SON MOTHER TO MOTHER MY HEART FEELS ALL YOUR PAIN ..STAY STRONG ....
I’ve watch so many stories and each is as sad as the previous and the next, too. And I don’t want to dismiss any family member or friend, but some resonate stronger than others… This mom resonates highly…
That's what I always think. This poor woman's son is probably as innocent as she describes. But everyone is always influenced and never the bad influencer or part of the bad crowd
she’s clearly looking for someone to blame other than herself or her son. covid, other friends, and the most wild one like you pointed out a damn 9th grader needing paramedics yet the pill that killed him was his first one.. right
The uncle happened to have Narcan at hand??? That's an interesting statement. I wonder if someone else in the family had a history of overdose. That shows just how prevalent this problem has become. It's an issue world wide.
After my back surgery I was sent home with some Vicodin and the nurse also included narcan. I was taken aback by that being 59 years old. I still have it and have no idea what to do with it.
@@needstoescape7145 wow!!!! I was on opioids for a long time because I kept crashing my horse into jumps and getting hurt many times over the years. The horses were always fine btw... they're tough lol! I stopped taking them because enough was enough of that crap. I never once was offered narcan or even had a conversation with my doctor about the long term dangers of hydrocodone or even acetaminophen! I started doing my own research and decided to stop. I wonder about the narcan... maybe contact a pharmacy and ask them? I assume it's an RX only item?
Naloxone is the active ingredient in Narcan and is also available in many generics as a nasal spray. In fact, the brand name Kloxxado delivers a higher dose of naloxone than Narcan (Kloxxado-8mg per dose, Narcan-4mg per dose). Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose if administered quickly enough. Some areas have Naloxone available in the brand name Narcan or generic versions available for free. It is important to recognize that Naloxone is the drug, Narcan is just a brand name. Whenever someone uses the word "Narcan" in place of "naloxone", they're devaluing all the other equally effective brand options and promoting a specific pharmaceutical company.
It’s really sad to hear lives lost at a young age, but there is a reason why they’ve always taught “don’t do drugs” in school. Experimentation can lead to death nowadays, so it’s really important for kids to be extra cautious with who they associate with but also with any foreign substances they may consume. You really can’t trust anyone or anything nowadays.
Please young people, you don't need to take drugs and get high to feel good or to be cool. It's not cool to die alone like that and inflict everlasting pain on your loved ones.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Watching this I feel so heartbroken for her. Afraid for my daughter who will be 16 this year. I'm always doing my best to remind her that it's not ok to try everything because someone else is, but I do know all I can do is tell her and pray she understands why. Prayers for you and your family.
I’m a rare survivor of fentanyl, I owe my life to my coworker who was sober, it took 3 doses of narcan to get me out of it.
Genuinely asking and I’m glad you’re doing much better but how was your mental state after that did you have regrets or like…..idk how to ask but how did that moment change your life?
I'm just glad you're still here! You definitely have a purpose for something great.
not really that rare its just fearmongering lol fent use happens literally all day every day without people croaking...
So am I 3/10/2021 I watch all these videos every night to remind myself how hard I work everyday to be a good person on this 🌎

I am so very sorry that your baby boy is no longer with you to share his precious enthusiasm for life with you. Please keep telling his story. Thank you for your courage.
Because of yall and this very strong mother his loss won't be in vain.
Thank you so much for talking about the difference between prescribed fentanyl and the fentanyl in the pills being put out on the streets. I have been on it since 2005 for chronic pain as many do and this crisis has been a living nightmare for most of us. I am so very, very sorry about your son. Nobody deserves this😢
We are developing a story about the legitimate medical use of fentanyl, but is slow going.
@@TexasPictures thanks you for taking on this story. It also deserves to be told as it can be just as tragic as all the others. Keep up the great work!
Yep. Had it in the hospital and it helped with my pain but was scary to me because nobody told me before injection. Sucks people have gotten ahold of it
The thing is you're "legally" addicted to it already. If the doctor stops prescribing it one day, you'll try to find it elsewhere. Be careful, please
Such a terrrible loss, my family and I are so sorry and your family will be in our prayers.
So sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy, lost my son to cocaine toxicity so feel some of your pain 🥲
Fentanyl is such a deadly drug and it’s a epidemic now , my daughter lost her father 9 months ago to fentanyl OD. Unfortunately his entire family enabled him and now my daughter who is 9 gets to suffer those consequences
Thank you to this mom for bringing her son’s story to us. We need to model and talk to our kids about how to handle distress AND boredom. We have more leisure time in our society than we have ever had. And boredom does not equal sadness. And does not need to be “fixed.”
What an amazing and smart young mama. All my love and prayers to you mama. I am so sorry for your loss. Don’t blame yourself for anything your son thought you hung the moon and knew you loved him very much. That much I am sure! I’m so sorry this lesson of his was the hardest. He didn’t deserve that. Rest in peace to Kyle. Living on through your work helping support the others in your community and watching this video! I lost two of my very best friends to fentanyl poisoning. It does get better, but I could never imagine losing my child. Hugs*
how can you call her amazing and smart if she got her son killed? 🤣🤣 she messed up his entire social circle by taking him out of highschool.
She's just yet another failing obnoxious single mom. I'm glad for her dead son, he doesn't need to bother with her craziness any longer.
What a beautiful, brave woman for pushing forward and reaching out to others to spread awareness. Bless her soul.
These stories are such a hard watch but its nice to see more awareness being raised, you always hear about the fentanyl death statistics but to listen to a parents story of losing their child makes it really hits home. RIP Kyle. I hope we find the solutions to fixing this crisis soon!
Thank you for having the courage to tell your beautiful sons story! I have 2 boys myself, and it’s so scary. Parents like you speaking up hopefully these deaths will slow down.
I love that she is now helping other families. And I’m so glad she mentioned taking something for headaches or cramps! Jesus! Even without I’ll intent, you might get something someone else didn’t know had been tampered with. Due diligence from now on. Stay safe, everyone.
I'm so sorry. Huge hug!
Thanks for sharing
Your son was so handsome
So sorry for your loss of your sweet son ❤️✝️
Wow, this touched me to the core! 💔
So sorry for your loss. They tell these kids it's a percocet or something and they have no idea it's something lethal. The people that make that stuff are evil.
Agreed!
@vetements2443 .. besides being disrespectful in which I do not see the need for you to be towards Ms. Michele Miller just for her pointing out facts, may I ask you what she has stated in her comment that actually made you so hateful. *Again all she did was point out facts of these matters regarding where fentanyl is concerned. Give her a break already, geeze* !.
I never understood why someone takes pills no doctor prescribed, I don't care
if it's for flu, PMS or whatever. Don't play with these things.
So very sorry that you lost your precious boy. Thank you for telling your story.
What a handsome young man. Thank you for sharing your story and spreading awareness.
Rest in peace Kyle my sincere condolences to his family 🙏🏾🕊️🕯️
I’m frightened for our young people. Information is power. I’m sorry for your loss. Sending prayers for you and your family ❤
Just say NO. Say NO to peer pressure. Instill that to your kids. It’s ok to say NO. It’s not worth it. I remind my 19yo daughter that all the time. I share the videos with her. Watching from Australia. All my love to the families you have lost ❤.
I told my son if he took drugs and died they would have to bury me with him. It would kill me too. He was nine years old. He cried. Parents: say it however you need to say it. It’ll hopefully keep them alive.
@@tinalindsey1598 Agreed! It’s heartbreaking seeing these videos however it’s essential to inform everyone. Have a pleasant day
Thank you mom for doing this video in memory of your son. I’m a retired nurse and I wasn’t aware until recently the dangers of this drug. You seem like a great mother. Please in no way blame yourself for any of this. Your son was experimenting as other teens will do. You’re doing so much to raise awareness. If you help just one teen you’ve done a wonderful thing. May God bless and comfort you.
7 years ago I had a large spinal cord surgery. The first thing they did at the hospital was to put a Fentanyl patch on me. I immediately had a reaction to the patch and ended up in ICU unit. By the time the nurse's noticed that I was having a heart attack. Stay away from any type of Fentanyl pills, patches, etc.
Thank you for sharing no matter what parents say they don’t listen.. my heart goes out too you.. I’m dealing with my son and his drug addiction
I think this was one of your most moving and informative videos yet. This one, I feel the kids can watch and really learn from. I sent it to my sister’s to show my nephews. I’m not sure why this one comes across more appropriate than others for young kids or why I feel it’s more educational. I appreciate this one in such a different way than the others.
I’m so sorry for your loss! We lost our son April 2023 at the age of 42 to an overdose of fentanyl. My heart goes out to you!
Strong mom ! Rest in Heaven Kyle your mom truly love you I feel the love through her emotions and words sorry this happened this is allowing me to teach my teenager these things that I would never think could happen thank you for sharing with all of us
My heart hurts for you, your Family and friends 😢 Prayers and condolences 🙏 I thank YOU for your candid, to-the-point conversation to the world here…we need it, thank you 💕
Kyle's mother Stephanie , was indeed incredibly strong for the most of the video over her son Kyle's death of fentanyl poisoning. I am for sure sending my condolences and prayers to all the family and friends at this time. I have lost both family and friends not long ago this month and over the years of this deadly narcotic also. I wished I could of given her a big hug during her short breakdown near the end of this video to be by her side with going through a similar tragic outcomes. Praise God for her strength overall and becoming a councilor while spreading awareness to others. Awareness thanks to this channel and others is indeed spending awareness however much more needs to be done daily for the sake of our loved ones and families. Thankfully law enforcement is doing much more in regards to this crises as well as the courts in sentencing the dealers, traffickers aka mules for the cartels and upon those dealers whom sell that ends up killing innocent people.
I have read convictions from 13 years up to 25 years to life already sentences by the courts upon conviction and I am positive the results of the courts is in the back of the minds of those dealing, trafficking and those charged with murder as a result of all of this spreading awareness to those criminals on fentanyl as well as awareness by individuals like Stephanie and channels like this to the innocent citizens out there therefore thankfully awareness is reaching every single one of us today in regards to this poison taking the lives of both family and friends alike.
*Stephanie if you are reading comments, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do as my heart indeed breaks for you, I wish I could again give you a big hug with all the pain you are experiencing* . *Sending you much love in the years to come with you being a active advocate for others* !
I'm sorry for your loss I lost my daughter to drug addiction a year ago I feel your pain and it's not easy I will pray for you
😔🫶🏼
So sad to hear that you lost your boy. You seem such a good mother. He is never gone he is in your heart forever with you. And thanks for sharing your story it takes courage, but shame on governments who never warn people enough about fentanyl problems
The drugs are allowed to flow into the USA, encouraged even. It's disgusting what's allowed to come through the borders.
Watching these always make me realize how lucky I am that this never happened when I was young and hooked on pills myself. Such a scary pandemic and I hope the world sees change soon
I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my nephew to an accidental overdose from fentanyl on December 18th, 2022. I know what you are going through. It's the hardest things my family has gone through. Love and light to you
This breaks my heart to hear this. I'm really sorry for your loss. Praying God gives you ALL the strength needed, my condolences to you & your family 🙏🏻 ❤️ 🫂
@@LouieTheFrenchie Thank you
I just came upon your story, and I know words do not help, but I am so sorry for your loss-words are meaningless, but please know I hold you and your son in my heart! Love to all, may you find peace and solace in the coming future..
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you. I have a 16 and 19 year old and I fear everyday (especially the 19 year old who smokes weed) that one of them will just accept ONE pill. I have shared your story with both of them. I pray for you and your grief. I pray God will comfort you. God bless.
Smoking marijuana so early is the worst thing your child can do.
@@roquemunoz5303 it’s definitely not the worst that’s pretty delusional to think that after watching this video smh
@@2STARSXO you should investigate...
RIP Kyle...I'm sorry for your loss.
Oh sweetie. Poor baby.
So sorry to his mom. Big hugs.
I cant imagine to loss a child. Sorry for your loss 🥺. He's in a better place ❤️ an watching over you an your family.
I am so heartbroken for this young beautiful mom. I wish that I could give her a hug. My condolences to her and her family. RIP to her sweet son.
Heartbreaking I have two boys I keep hugging them pls. do not do drugs, DUI what ever but it is really up to them! RIP Kyle 📿📿
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for you and I am in awe of your strength
Sending my deepest condolences to you and your family
This really scares me so much!
Not even two weeks ago my 16 year old son had a vape pen with THC, and had been smoking it.
I was so mad at first for not knowing who sold him that damn pen, but then again, he made the decision to buy it with money that was supposed to be for his hair cut!
I don't want to be the next parent who loses a child to "fentanyl overdose"
And what really makes me more upset, it's that these kids don't know a lot about this fawking drug!
I have a suggestion. Show your son this video so he understands and make him watch it in front of you.
Atleast let him get High weed and nic that’s all
@@braetonwilson4296 yupp
@@supremegod1006 i mean illegal carts are dangerous and probably full of carcinogens but i don't think they're likely to be laced with fentynal like pills are
@@supremegod1006 you realize that fent being laced in weed is what’s killing people right
My heart ❤️ goes out to you.I lost my son this past August to Fetenol overdose.I've written to many Congressman having this drug stopped
It seems like we're just being ignored.
You are a great Mom ❤ and I'm so sorry for your loss. Keep advocating! Kyle's Mom
You seem like a very kind hearted person so sorry to here about your son.
I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious son 💙 😢 💔. Hugs from Matthew's mom 💙 👩 😢 .
This mother is very articulate and she's right, it's a new scary age and teens need to know the severity! 😶🌫️ He was a good young man RIP 🙏
Thank you fir shaing your son's story RIP
It’s absolutely terrifying someone so young could be taken by this horrible drug. I am so very sorry for your loss❤
I'm a recovering addict and very thankful. I survived a fentanyl over dose almost 2 years ago. I've been clean almost 18 months. I'm so grateful for my wife coming home from work early and finding me sitting in the driveway at my house the truck was running in gear my foot on the brake. Lord knows I would be dead if she hadn't found me and called 911 I was on Life support for 3 days. I owe her everything.
We also have a series of recovery stories in our playlists that you might find interesting.
I'm sorry for your loss Stephanie
This is heartbreaking and my heart goes out. RIL
This video is so excellent. I love and respect this beautiful mother and her story. Her son was so beautiful. This is so tragic and heartbreaking. I deeply appreciate what you have shared with us. Thank you for so bravely raising awareness of this harrowing issue.
Bless you mother 🙏❤️
..SO BRAVE AND STRONG WITHOUT A DOUPT YOU WILL SAVE THOUSANDS OF LIFES .I ALSO LOST MY SON MOTHER TO MOTHER MY HEART FEELS ALL YOUR PAIN ..STAY STRONG ....
He was such a baby🥺 Youre a great mom! Thank you for being someone else's advocate❤
I’m so sorry for your loss my heart was breaking as I saw this video I could see the pain In her eyes I’m so sorry prayers to you and your family
I’ve watch so many stories and each is as sad as the previous and the next, too.
And I don’t want to dismiss any family member or friend, but some resonate stronger than others…
This mom resonates highly…
Why is it always he's in the wrong crowd. He was part of the crowd.
That's what I always think. This poor woman's son is probably as innocent as she describes. But everyone is always influenced and never the bad influencer or part of the bad crowd
How moving.
Wel done Kyle's Mum.
Stay strong.
"He wasn't using anything at all." I guess she thought him "experimenting" with that other drug didn't count or was just a one time thing.
i love how she just blamed everyone but her kid...
she’s clearly looking for someone to blame other than herself or her son. covid, other friends, and the most wild one like you pointed out a damn 9th grader needing paramedics yet the pill that killed him was his first one.. right
My heart aches for your loss. Thank you for sharing these stories
The uncle happened to have Narcan at hand??? That's an interesting statement. I wonder if someone else in the family had a history of overdose. That shows just how prevalent this problem has become. It's an issue world wide.
After my back surgery I was sent home with some Vicodin and the nurse also included narcan. I was taken aback by that being 59 years old. I still have it and have no idea what to do with it.
@@needstoescape7145 wow!!!! I was on opioids for a long time because I kept crashing my horse into jumps and getting hurt many times over the years. The horses were always fine btw... they're tough lol! I stopped taking them because enough was enough of that crap. I never once was offered narcan or even had a conversation with my doctor about the long term dangers of hydrocodone or even acetaminophen! I started doing my own research and decided to stop. I wonder about the narcan... maybe contact a pharmacy and ask them? I assume it's an RX only item?
@@melfreemans No prescription needed. RIP Kyle and my condolences to his strong Mom and the extended family. 🙏🏼
Naloxone is the active ingredient in Narcan and is also available in many generics as a nasal spray. In fact, the brand name Kloxxado delivers a higher dose of naloxone than Narcan (Kloxxado-8mg per dose, Narcan-4mg per dose). Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose if administered quickly enough. Some areas have Naloxone available in the brand name Narcan or generic versions available for free.
It is important to recognize that Naloxone is the drug, Narcan is just a brand name. Whenever someone uses the word "Narcan" in place of "naloxone", they're devaluing all the other equally effective brand options and promoting a specific pharmaceutical company.
But the uncle must have know something to bring the Narcan🤔
This is just heartbreaking- I am not ashamed of my tears 😢
It’s really sad to hear lives lost at a young age, but there is a reason why they’ve always taught “don’t do drugs” in school. Experimentation can lead to death nowadays, so it’s really important for kids to be extra cautious with who they associate with but also with any foreign substances they may consume. You really can’t trust anyone or anything nowadays.
So sorry. Mom is so sweet and realistic.
Please young people, you don't need to take drugs and get high to feel good or to be cool. It's not cool to die alone like that and inflict everlasting pain on your loved ones.
So sorry for your loss 🙏🏽
Good for you for wanting to be a advocate. So sorry for your loss of him! ❤
I'm so sorry for your loss. Watching this I feel so heartbroken for her. Afraid for my daughter who will be 16 this year. I'm always doing my best to remind her that it's not ok to try everything because someone else is, but I do know all I can do is tell her and pray she understands why. Prayers for you and your family.
Thank For Sharing Kyle’s Powerful Story 💙
I'm so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and Prayers. 🥺🙏💔
