SkyNews | In America, young people are increasingly buying these drugs online in a desperate attempt to self-medicate for conditions like anxiety and insomnia. Often, they don’t know what they’re buying – and the consequences can be fatal.
All over America, families are being broken by fentanyl.
Now, in a terrifying twist, fentanyl is killing school children who are buying pills laced with the drug on social media, and overdosing in their classrooms and in their beds.
TXAF.ORG (Texas Against Fentanyl) was formed after Stefanie Turner lost her 19 year-old son, Tucker Roe, to an illicit Percocet pill purchased from a peer on social media. In May 2022, TXAF became a registered nonprofit charity.
