It's almost like the civil rights movement in The United States, where it took a generation of people to get up and say: this is not right, this is wrong.
When Jaime Puerta lost his 16-year-old son, Daniel, to a counterfeit pill laced with fentanyl bought on Snapchat, his world turned upside down. In this gripping episode of 'Fatal Facts of Fentanyl', host Lisa Carol sits down with Jaime, now the president of VOID (Victims Of Illicit Drugs), to uncover the dark reality of social media's role in the fentanyl crisis.
Jaime shares his heartbreaking journey and his relentless efforts to bring awareness to the dangers lurking online for our children. From advocating for stronger laws to pushing for social media platforms to take responsibility, Jaime's mission is clear: no parent should have to endure the pain he has felt. The conversation also touches on the alarming trend of fentanyl showing up in vaping products, posing new threats to young lives.
This episode is a wake-up call for all parents and a call to action for safer digital spaces.
