FENTANYL POISONING: Tucker Roe's Story
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- A mother, Stefanie Turner, and her daughter share their story of losing this 19-year-old family member to fentanyl poisoning.
Naloxone, the active ingredient in 4mg Narcan and higher dose 8mg Kloxxado, along with many generic versions, can reverse an opioid overdose if administered quickly enough. Some areas have Naloxone available for free. Google it.

UPDATE: the dealer, Juan Ignacio Soria Gamez, was just sentenced to 13 years in prison.
13 is nothing! This is murder
Thank you!
Thanks for the update
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I feel sorry for the dealer as well. We need to do better as a country to provide for and protect our people
Constantly, I'm seeing parents state their deceased child thought they were buying Percocet! As a Nurse and a parent, this is so disturbing to me! Why are we not doing something to figure out why kids need the drug in the first place!!??
Young people do drugs/narcotics today for many of the same reasons that they always have in decades past. 🤷♀️
@Kris that may be True - but what is that old saying - keep doing the same thing but expecting different results.. Maybe it's time for a real change Especially since young people are dropping deceased from (1) pill; unlike decades ago when it was for what they called fun! Well, it's russian roulette now buying a "mystery pill" off of the streets! So, a Serious Conversation Is definitely Needed with ones Child now - Right Now! #Blessings to All Families from this awful Tragedy....
I agree 100%! A parent's responsibility is great. Emotional support, attention, etc.
So sorry for him and his family ! OXYCODON and fentanyl is a greater killer ! Mind my words ….. sinds a short time OXYCODON and fentanyl are mixed ! 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵that is the reason that they on a overdose ! 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪
My parents were so amazing and I’m addict. I know it’s easy to blame the parent’s, but it’s not always the parent’s fault.
I had a horrific childhhod. Not worth giving details. I never wanted to do drugs. Early on I realized that if I died from an overdose, not one of my family members would care. I had to look out for myself. I was all I had.
Bless you.
I'm sorry that happened to you. I had a really rough childhood also..several different types of abuse from my narcissist father.
I did get into drugs as a teenager, looking back I was definitely self medicating that trauma away
The thing is, I had to grow up to understand that the drugs do nothing to help the situation. Those problems were still waiting for me when the high was gone.
It's sad that so many of these kids that are no longer here weren't allowed to live through those mistakes and grow up and learn those important lessons.
These kids needed counseling and therapy, the drugs don't love you
This is horrible to hear, we can't choose family but friends are different and if making friends is difficult ( I don't have any ) I'm not lonely because I have a dog !@@❤ best friend forever 💕 and if you can't own a Pet, voluntarios at sheltets are always welcome xx to walk ,talk, read to the little fellas that nobody wants, best thing u can do , for both of you
Good luck xxxc
@lorrainedunlop5512
Thank you. We, my son, and I, have a dog, Cesaer, picture in my profile. He's been with us for 10 years. He was there when my husband, and son's father, passed 6 years ago. He died as a result of long term depression, and bpd. We, doggo included, miss him still, every passing day. Cesaer has been our rock, so to speak.
Same here.
It’s amazing that the dealer was allowed to continue selling even after the detectives knew. He’ll probably never do a day in jail. He’s a serial killer allowed to run his business.
Fent dealers should be charged with murder and face the DP.
@@rockstarofredondo absolutely
Why should they go to jail when the GOVERNMENT allowed the BIGGEST drug dealers (PHARM and THE SACKLER FAMILY) to walk free with their billions of wealth AND OxyContin is still being prescribed!!
@@DeathSpellXVI maybe you should respect this family’s passed loved one and not comment, I think his mom would appreciate it. You know it goes both ways so what’s your point
@@prettydalila Don't hate the game, hate the players. Without the players there is no game. People need money to feed their families. People choose to buy drugs, nobodies forcing them. Respect? Its just called honesty. Its sad and stuff but its crazy how people willingly taking drugs, and dying, get more coverage than some murder cases. Im 14 years old and would never take drugs, yet this girl did. If a 14 year old has more self control we have bigger problems.
I know this is no consolation, but great news just the same! To the family of Tucker, and to all the families that suffered at the hands of this poison...in Alabama yesterday 4-3-23 they seized 17,000 Fentanyl pills 37,000 dollars and the young lady was arrested and being charged! 🙏😊🌹 I know it's not much but it's progress. 💖🌹
Yes arrest em 😡🙏🍻only drink a beer plz
There was a huge bust in Michigan too.
I wonder what they do with thoae drugs..
@@audraarndt1824 That is great news! Thank you for sharing that. It seems we are finally starting to make progress. Sadly tho, how many more will have to die....It shouldn't even be crossing boarders. 💔🌹
@@losheroes6076 Maybe keep as evidence along with the money. Then, the drugs are destroyed in due course. Depending on the laws of the country, the money will be allocated.
I am 1 year, 7 days sober. I went to rehab, then out patient for 12 weeks and I lived in sober living for 8 months before returning home. There is no shame in asking for help. There is no shame in rehab. Addiction doesn't care if you're rich, poor or well educated.
Congratulations!! I’m also a year as of May 7th! Best year of my life despite loosing my mom 2 weeks ago. She was old and sick but I was present for her daily and I’m so grateful for that. I pray you have continued success, God bless you and keep you!💜🙏💜
Congratulations!
Congratulations!!! You got this! Im 814 days sober and I never felt so good
Praying for your continued sobriety ❤
glad you made it through...hope you remain sober the rest of your life...congrats...
This one made me cry in a really different way. The way you described him, I could swear I knew him too. I am so sorry for your loss, momma. 😣 Fentanyl poisoning took a brilliant, strong friend named Brock away from me 6 years ago. Rest in Peace Tucker and Brock. I am so gd sick of this poison taking such beautiful souls.
Me, too, on all points. I’m so sorry for the loss of your friend.
😢
Praying for you and your family
Thank you for your comment, and kindness! We miss our boy! ❤
@@txaf-pi8qj I'm soo sorry for your loss. I also lost my son 6yrs ago to fentanyl and this could have been my story as well. My son became addicted over the summer and i found him deceased in our home on xmas eve morning. He also was " drug curious" like Tucker, a smart, inquisitive, kind and loving son. I still cry all the time just thinking about him and can't beleive this happened. As one mom to another, may you find some peace. sending lots of hugs and love your way. 💔
This is crazy he contacted the same dealer with the same pills that killed his friends….shows you how strong addiction is…😢
The delusion of youthful invincibility, created by a second removed from death.
@@mjanny6330I love this response.
Yup that doesn't make sense
It is. Years ago, my cousin was living with my husband and me. He told us he had used pretty much every drug, except heroin, and said he was never going to try heroin because it was so addictive. But he did use heroin eventually. He told us he had bought it from a dealer he had known for many years. The guy begged him not to start with heroin. He showed my cousin all the old track marks and scars from his own years as an IV drug user, between his toes, in his groin… he said you’re more likely to die from the addiction than recover from it. But my cousin said he would just go and find another dealer, so the guy sold to him. This is one of the happy endings, at least so far. It’s been 22 years. It took years in a state rehab facility, years of going to the clinic every day for methadone, but he is clean. Fentanyl wasn’t part of the picture then. An addict today might not have years to fight their addiction. We are not going to be able to arrest our way out of this. We need to figure out why people are still buying illegal drugs, knowing that fentanyl has created a kind of Russian Roulette, knowing how high the likelihood is that they could die from one dose.
What a mom. She has a neckless with his name around her neck and a tattoo of his face on her arm.
My mom used before pregnant with me, while pregnant with me and after I was born. At 13 years old I fell asleep in the bed with my mom (we had no running water or electricity). I woke up next to my mom who had OD as I slept beside her. I sat in the bed next to her for over three hours not knowing what to do but also scared to tell anyone because I didn’t know where I would go. Luckily my dad had been trying to find me and he had gotten sober about 7 years prior. He stayed sober until he passed in 2021 with dance. Many don’t understand when I say this but my mom saved my life that day. I know I would not be where I am today had she lived. It breaks my heart to say that but it’s true. I’m a firm believer that everyone will get sober in their life time. It’ll either be on this either or when they pass away. PLEASE I BEG YOU…IF YOU SUFFER FROM ADDICTION PLEASE ASK FOR HELP. IT’S WORTH IT. YOU ARE WORTH IT.
I wish you the best, you deserve the best! 🖤
Everyone that watches these stories, please share them with your children, family and friends. Together is the only way to fight this problem.
i def do thx
Same. My husband is a teacher. One pill can kill. Spread the word.
It's also to do with Corporate America flooding the streets with their new invention.
Absolutely! I lost my 22 year old son to a brain injury. It’s hell! This can be prevented.
Always!🌻
They seem like such a beautiful, cool family. They literally did their best. Even Tucker knew what was going on with the pills was crazy, and dangerous. But the addiction had too much of a hold on him. I’m so sorry for their loss 💔
That should tell you how strong this addiction is. He knew that those exact pills from that exact kid had fentanyl in them and that people were dying from them and he almost died twice from them. But, he called that same kid to get those same pills and took that chance.
@@JesusGodHolySpirit3 Addiction is very powerful. It's possible to be very smart and still lose out to it. Those of us who aren't addicted to substances have no real way of knowing how powerful the call can be.
@@JesusGodHolySpirit3 how cruel. If addiction had anything to do with logic or intelligence or reasoning, there would be no addiction. That’s why it’s called addiction because it rules over logic, intelligence, and reasoning.
@@JesusGodHolySpirit3 you fancy yourself religious yet here you are mocking a dead boy in the comments of his own mother's video. If there really are devils surely you are one of them. You, your hypocrisy, and your mean spiritedness are exactly what is driving the younger generations away from religion.
@@JesusGodHolySpirit3 It didn’t matter how bright he was - the addiction to this poisonous drug was stronger. Can’t you understand, they’re flooding the streets with this poison which is deliberately killing our young..
Right. Powerful.
Very horrifying. So Tucker was very aware about how powerful and deadly the drug is, but because how strong the fentanyl is he still relapsed regardless.
Typical druggie
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😏😏
I wish teenagers and young adults who are struggling with addiction would watch these videos and see the pain that all these family members will feel for the rest of theirs lives. I hope they’ll realize that every parent would rather hear everything about their struggles rather than losing them forever. Share everything with your parents, kids. They love you and just want the best for you. Be careful out there, the world has changed, you can’t take any chances.
These videos should be shown in ALL schools, like we used to see MADD and cars total by drunk drivers! I’m 58 and still remember the impact. How about these poor moms, dads,sisters and brothers talk in schools 🏫 maybe instead of drag story time. Please Jesus we pray to you, the only 1 !!!!!!!!!!!
They do watch. That’s not how addiction works.
@@leanne_the_metal_girl addiction is extremely complex, you are right. There isn’t one magic cure, I am aware, but if we take many small steps we might get somewhere better. If kids at least start sharing more with people they trust, who knows, maybe that “small” thing could save them.
Xx
It can't hurt. But people already know that addiction breaks hearts.
@@barbaramcastromost kids think shit won't happen to them. Even some parents think it won't happen to their kids either. I noticed the majority of the kids shown on this channel look like they cone from upper class homes with parents with nice jobs, live in nice huge homes have good jobs & everyone in the home drives nice new vehicles.
This video confused me. Yes, the loss is tragic, but the mother's comment indicates that he was chasing another fentanyl high. This seemed to go beyond the naive kid story that had never heard of fentanyl. "Some drugs are ok but heroin is bad" is not the message that parents should be sending. I hope that the mother is receiving counseling to better deal with her loss.
I'm glad this wasn't around in the 70"s when I was young and experimenting with drugs. Prayers to all the people affected by this poison.
Duh you dont experiment with drugs period! Common sense!
@@GeorgeFitness-yo8bl Teenagers aren't famous for common sense. Duh yourself, shitbird.
It does sound very unforgiving.
I know
@@GeorgeFitness-yo8bl duh u don't live in the real world then george! Kids experiment! When I was a teenager it was ecstasy. We all heard the stories of how it could kill but when ur young u think your invincible. You couldn't pay me today to take it but when ur young it's so different!
I am so sorry. May God Bless you. As I have mentioned to alot of parents, my stepson Sully passed away July 22nd 2019. He THOUGHT he was taking a xanax. Turned out to be xanax and fentanyl. I am on a mission myself TRYING to educate people in my area but the stigma is so prevalent. Not my kid. I repost these videos non stop. Sully is one of probably 20 people I personally know who have died from fentanyl poisoning. It's so frustrating.
He thought he was taking Xanax? He shouldn’t have been taking the Xanax either.
I was in shock when I read that alone you know about 20 people who passed away from this! How can this be possible, I don’t understand how this can happen in your country. I live in Germany and I watched a documentary about why fentanyl doesn’t has an impact here in Europe like it has in the US. It’s so terrible! I can’t even imagine the pain loosing my child. My deep condolences to all who experience this.
@@jisue3517 yes, I do know at least that many. That's not even counting friends of friends. I am 50 and a bartender so it could be due to the fact that I know and work with alot of younger people. I also lost my niece and my husband lost his older sister and a niece. Not to mention friends.
@@ryanblanchard2508 💯🏹🎯
@@smfarrie2943 no kidding. I am so very grateful that you pointed that out. I wish we were all as smart as you.
You are so articulate. Thank you for sharing with us. I'm sure you've saved a life. I'm already discussing this issue with my 9-year-old son.
The slogan, "One Pill Can Kill" should be plastered everywhere!!! And what about the dealer...he should be charged with murder!!! RIP Tucker⚘️🙏❤️
One pill can kill sounds like a good slogan. This drug sounds so much more unforgiving than: pot, lsd say.
I don't agree that the dealer should be charged with murder. Just say NO to drugs. Don't do it. It's YOUR choice.
So very sorry. We're losing two generations to this epidemic.
"...I think my Momma heart felt Tucker's peace...." what a strong Momma. R.I.P. to Tucker. These stories are powerful and accomplishing something.
I felt that “peace” when my close cousin Matthew passed away a few minutes after I got the call that he had passed at 21. I felt that for just about two or even five minutes and then all turned to despair and pain for the next 3-4 years. Took me along time to accept his death. He was an amazing person who cared about family too. He was a brand new father too, moving up with a good new job. Talk to your kids about this and about death. Kids don’t know things like this could happen to them. Truly
These stories are absolutely heartbreaking. Such beautiful young people with a beautiful futures ahead. There is no way you can’t be touched by this. Just so young, they don’t think.
Their brains are still so young. I just don’t know what we are going to do to stop this. 😢😢
They are so heart breaking…yet absolutely nothing is being done, as she alluded to….it’s unreal they just ignore it…
@@nationalduo4945 who is "they"??
people being featured?@@jamiebrooks2125
There is no pain worse than loosing your child. Sorry for your loss.
So true I'm glad to never be a father because of this.
Loosing a mother and losing a child is the absolute worst thing to happen to someone
*losing
This is a national nightmare.
Today I saw a billboard in Dallas and Immediately recognized Tucker’s face from this video. Thank you for sharing your story and educating everyone on Fentanyl poisoning.
We see a lot of similar billboards in Houston. All the faces on the billboards we see are stories that are part of our series.
@TexasPictures i think ive seen one here!
Is this Cameron’s mom’s friend? I’m so sorry for your loss :(
Yes it is.
I thought so when I heard her talk about the dealer
I wondered the same thing.😢
Omg that’s immediately what I thought when she mentioned the dealer posting at his funeral 😢💔 So tragic but I’m glad both mommas have each other to lean on now to comfort one another during those horrible times. I pray for their healing & strength ❤️🩹🙏🏽✨
@@AlexusMusic just tragic 😔
I know that a lot of people always blame the parent’s, it’s not always the parent’s fault. My parent’s were amazing and I’m a recovering addict. My love, my prayers and my deepest condolences go out to Tucker’s loving dear family and his friends. ❤️ 🙏 😇
Thank you for saying that. It's true. Bottom line honestly..we all choose food, drink, dope, working out, whatever it is..we make the choices and nobody forces us.
Tucker was a beautiful boy. His spirit shines through his pictures. I pray Gods blessings upon you and all who loved him.
What a brave , sweet , amazing mom. My heart breaks for you. Stay strong, and keep telling your story! Even if it only helps one person, that’s a win!
The tattoo is so perfect! Looks just like him! 💔 R.I.P
I've never seen a tattoo so beautiful like him. Rest with angels Tucker.
I was thinking the same thing. Portrait tattoos can go REALLy wrong very easily, but she seems to have picked an outstanding artist.
Looks ridiculous.., just as her easy going attitude about him wanting to purchase Percocet
@@elibrod9981 weak as piss comment go crawl back under your rock 💩
I really don't think people will ever fully appreciate how traumatic it is to find someone dead. Especially when they mean something to you personally. I hate that the roommate was forced into that position, but I am even more thankful that it wasn't his immediate family, mom, dad, or siblings.
My daughter woke up to her best friend dead next to her, she had 8 times the lethal limit of Fentanyl in her system. My daughter had to do CPR on her until the ambulance arrived. Sadly she didn’t make it. On life lost, another changed forever. No amount of therapy will ever erase that moment from my daughters mind.
@@josephinevera9966 It's incredibly painful for a mother to see one of her children hurt. I found someone close to me who died in her sleep. She was not my mom, but she was the woman I called mom. It was horrible, and it's impossible to forget. She had just been taking a nap, in the middle of the day bc she didn't sleep well the previous night. She was on her boyfriend's couch in his living room, and he and his teen son were right there watching TV. I listen to other people's stories and something that everyone seems to do, is blame themselves by wishing they had been there to check on their deceased loved one. That whole horrible, "What if?" In reality however, they could have still been there, and not have even known. That's exactly what happened with mom. She died from a heart condition tho, it wasn't an OD. The only reason that I found her is bc his son came next door to my apartment. He mentioned mom was at his place taking a nap. I made a joke! I asked him if he was coming to my apartment to escape her loud snoring. (It was so so so very loud lol) He laughed, and responded with, "No, lol she's not snoring." That's when I said, "Wow! Really? Have you checked to see if she's dead?" Then I immediately, and suddenly, felt a sense of alarm. So I went to check in on her, she did have a history of strokes. Never told any of the family that she also had a bad heart. She never thought of herself, she was always putting others comfort ahead of her own, she didn't want to worry us. So I checked, and my entire world was forever changed. It was my husband's mom, my mom. He was SHATTERED! The ONLY thing worse than finding her and seeing her like that, and him seeing her like that, (besides her actually dying of course,) was that I had to tell Mamaw that her first born daughter was dead at the age of 43. (Only Mamaw I ever known too.) Besides the fact that I love both of those women immensely, I was literally telling a mother that her child was dead. I could actually hear the life drain from her voice, and it never returned. THAT was so bad, and gut wrenching. THAT haunts me, along with everything else about that day.
@@josephinevera9966 Sending love. I'm so sorry.
My sweet autistic 10 yo great nephew was sleeping with his Mom (42 yo) when she had a cardiac arrhythmia and quickly passed. This poor boy has that memory burned into his psyche.
@@saraw8503 I'm really very sorry for your loss, and the pain of watching someone you want to love and protect grieving. I have a couple cousins that one has autism, and the other has mental retardation. So I have an enormous soft spot in my heart for anyone who suffers from those very special mental hardships.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember the last story I just watched, Cameron was the teen who passed from the same thing, and his mom was saying how she's really good friends with Tucker's mom.😢
Yes, Cameron and Tucker both bought from the same dealer. That dealer is in federal custody now.
@@TexasPictures thank you for taking a second to comment. This whole fentanyl crisis has turned people into a modern day serial killer in every state across the map! The drug is their “weapon of choice”. 🙁
Wow sounds like a wonderful young man and you can tell he was really, really trying to stay away from fentanyl but sadly he didn't make it😔💔💔,my condolences and prayers go out to Tucker's family and may he rest in peace 🙏🏽🕊️💙
Lol trying to stay away?? Did you not hear the story?
This mother is something else. RIP Tucker
Every person who has an addiction will struggle with shame and guilty. We hide and suffer in silence. Its a hard way to live and nobody can save us from ourselves. RIP Tucker. You were loved! Peace to family.
Say it again!
Wow, you are a strong woman to be able to talk about your sons passing, may God Bless you and your family. I lost my 26 year old son February 25,2023, he too was bright, interested in psychedelics was a very hard worker with a great work ethic, good at everything he did, meth got him in the end, the drugs out there are designed to kill, not to get high anymore, this is the devil in action, I truly believe a spiritual battle. I wish I did more, the pain of losing a child is unimaginable and no parent should have to endure pain like this,
I will never be able to understand how someone can sell drugs that they know will kill someone. I can’t fathom the heart that could do that. I feel so much compassion for this family and all the others that are in these videos. There really needs to be stricter laws regarding the sale of fentanyl.
14:32 - When she said, “My baby’s gone.” Gosh… that just broke my heart into a million pieces. It’s every mother’s worst nightmare, and that nightmare came true for her on that day. It’s agonizing, and I’m so incredibly sorry!
The response from the police in stopping this drug dealer makes me so angry! I am so sorry you lost your sweet boy!
Yep but bet they would've been all over him if he'd had a little weed.
Tucker had the most beautiful, kind eyes. My heart just breaks for his family.🙏
My condolences to all who have lost loved ones by this poison.
I went to hike in the US in 2017 and was shocked at the casualness about things like hallucinogenics like marijuana, mushrooms and even ayahuasca. It was as “normal” as drinking coffee to many. A guy I met on the trail hiked with broken toe and didn’t even realized they were broken because he was high all the time. It was a big culture shock for me coming from a place where any kind of drugs / hallucinogenic are illegal and punishable up to death. I often wondered where is the line between safe and danger. It’s like alcohol…our body response is different every day. Some days, 1 glass is enough to knock me out and some days, I can walk straight even after 3 glasses. I think it’s impossible to tell how the body will react. To see so many young lives been taken this way is beyond sad and many happened quite innocently too. I wonder if the danger is the casualness about getting high or is it fentanyl cos when you abolish fentanyl, something else and possibly more deadly will be created cos as long as there is demand, there will always be supply whether it’s called this or that. Just wondering…
Poison, not a drug. So true.
Thanks for being brave enough to share your loss. I, too have a 19 yr old son who is 6’4” and my heart was breaking just listening to your son’s story. I am truly sorry for what you & your family are going through. Fentanyl is the devil- it really is.
What does his height have anything to do with? How goofy
@@user-ux1vj9vx7s right lol I was so confused
Thank you for sharing Texas Pictures Documentaries.
Thanks for your comment
We lost our youngest son at the age of 21 years old in 2017 to an accidental death 😪😪🙏loosing a child is the worst pain a parent can feel still and always will hurt 😞 I’m so sorry for your loss
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful son’s story. My ex-husband (high school sweethearts…soul mates, but he fell into drug addiction sadly) died from Fentanyl poisoning 2 years ago. Telling our 10 year old twin boys that their dad was gone was the worst thing I’ve ever had to do. I pray our country and world start educating kids more on the risk of ANY drug having this in it. We need to save our babies from this poison. I’ll be sending prayers of peace to you and your beautiful family. 🤍🤍🤍
You hit the nail on the head how hard it is to break free from opioids!
Something happened to lead them down this road, we just don’t know what
It was, people refuse to acknowledge that some thing made them choose this road, we don’t know what that something is, could be sexual abuse, physical abuse, mental abuse I don’t think a kid is gonna get out of bed and say, oh I am gonna OD today, something happened
I hope the dealer is living hell each day of his life
The Hope is Don't Do Drugs. Sorry for the kid but it was bad choice after bad choice. Alot of excuses made for his bad choices. Stress, Relationship or family problems, can't sleep EVERBODY dealing with something. If you add drugs to it you are asking for trouble.
As a kid you don’t think it’s going to happen to you. You don’t think you’ll become addicted. The first hit I took I knew I was done. Something told me that. I battled it for 20 years, and I thank God daily for helping me get sober. I had to learn to love myself in order to stop hurting myself.
Thank you Mom for sharing Tucker’s story- your saving lives & I am in awe of your strength we all can literally feel the pure love you have for him
If he learned nothing from his first and second over dose then you cannot help someone who doesn’t want help, it is all on him.
From one mother to another, I’m so sorry. Prayers to you and all the families enduring this pain. Rest In Power, Tucker🙏🏾
He was weak, he had no "power"
You are so sweet… peace to you for your kindness..
It almost does seem like suicide or definitely Russian roulette. It seeks like insomnia is a common denominator with these cases.
RIP Tucker! Prayers for all who love you 🙏🙏🙏
Why did the Police allow the dealer to keep dealing?
Disgraceful and disgusting!!!
Because the police, that means police EVERYWHERE IN THE US, don't and won't give 3 shits about kids dying from fentanyl poisoning UNTIL it happens to their child, grandchildren. And the universe has a strange way of making that happen for humans like that too which makes me sleep better at night.
My heart broke listening to this - thank you I have a son coming of age and I will educate him - Tucker was special you can see it - so sad.....tears
My son, Nicholas Joseph Bell, died on September 24, 2021 when he took a pill he thought was Xanax but it was fentanyl. He was by himself in a hotel room in Tijuana and we couldn’t help him. Rest in Peace to my baby and to yours 😢
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you can find some peace and sending my love. 🤍
I’m so sorry
R.I.P. Nick! ❤
I’m so sorry for your loss. May your son Rest In Peace.
Bought a pill from the same guy that caused the death of one person and him to over dose?
Unbelievable how many lives got destroyed by this stuff 😢
Only Jesus can break the stronghold of addiction to EVERY drug. Nothing else, or no one else, can set you free indeed! Free from the desire… where it can’t tempt you anymore. Jesus actually gives you a hatred for whatever it is that had you bound. Complete humility and surrender is what’s required. Crying out to Jesus, trusting him ALONE to set you free. Surrender to Jesus 🙏🕊💟
Alot of these are hard to watch but this one....soul crushing.... My heart breaks for Tucker and his beautiful family. I think the tattoo portrait of him is gorgeous. My heart goes out to her and her family....damn this was a tough one to watch....
As a mom this hurts me to my core. Her son was such a family person he loved everyone. I hope they can get this drug off the street soon. Praying for this family
I kept thinking of my own sons. I don’t think I could hold it together like these people did. This goes straight to your heart.
Won't happen, because"they" are the ones making and bringing the drugs to this country.
Oh mama my heart breaks for you! I am so very deeply sorry for your loss! Thank you very much for sharing your story and what you shared! You are spot on in your explanation! Keep sharing!
These stories are heartbreaking but how many times do you buy laced pills from the same person who you blame for getting “everyone” strung out… What is the underlying issue that so many teens and young adults are willingly playing Russian roulette with pills with ALL the knowledge and access to information these generations have. Most are oD’ing on fentanyl in the midst of actively abusing some other prescription or street drugs. How can this be combatted?
As a parent to a 7 year old autistic son and a 13 year old daughter I have heard of fentanyl but never thought to talk to my daughter about it. I will make it my priority to talk with my kids everyday about the importance of not doing drugs and not following the crowd. I will make sure my daughter watch these stories ❤
Yes, I think it would be wise to help kids to understand the reasons people start taking drugs: to fit in, to “forget” bad feelings and experiences,
How is it possible that the kid could sell the pills on insta after she called the police?
I'm so sorry you couldn't save him from himself.
I’m confused also that he got the pill from the guy killing people with his pills. I’m not shaming him, I just don’t understand it
May God bless the Roe and Turner families. I can tell how great a child Tucker was because clearly his mom is a hero--as is his sister, for going through the emotional toil it must've taken on you both to do this video. Stefanie, you articulated perfectly what fentanyl is. I'll no longer refer to it as a drug--but as a poison, as you said. Two of my best friends lost their sons to fentanyl poisonings. I'm writing your names down on my prayer list, and Tucker Roe's name will be forever on my heart (as will you and your family). I am so, so sorry. There are no words.
Tucker might’ve been telling people about that dealer with the hidden hope that the guy would be arrested. He was probably afraid of relapsing.
I'm so sorry and know you're pain. President Biden close the borders!
My condolences to your family and to you as a mother. Your story was so heartbreaking but helpful to us moms.
How can a parent give so much information to the police and nothing be done. I get they want the main person but don’t forget about the smaller people dealing to our local kids and pushing it off in schools it’s sad
WHY all this CHILDREN are taking any kind of pills?????????
Why the parents are finding excuses...and they are ok with them taking pills?????
Yes ...the DEALERS are Criminals- but why to get to deal with a dealer????
I don't judge! I am just asking!
Addiction is horrible I don't wish it on anyone
The insanity of how he went back to the same person selling counterfeit pills. Especially after having pointed it out. Just absolutely crazy…
These kids today sadly have no coping skills. Any type of stress or anxiety the answer is popping a pill to escape. Granted the world sucks, life can be tough and social media compounds the angst. So I can understand a desire to escape, but when I was a teen and young adult in the mid 2000s we faced the stress, BS and angst head on and without the need for substances.
Very sad that Tucker was well aware that the drugs that guy was selling was dangerous. He nearly died twice from the drugs this guy sold him, but he continued to buy from him. So sad . 😢 SMH.
These stories are sad, but I wonder how helpful they are to families who are dealing with addicts? An addict will continue to take the risk no matter how dangerous. No matter how educated the family is about the dangers, there’s nothing that can be done to stop the addict unless they make the choice to get clean.
I do hope these stories can be helpful to those considering experimenting with drugs. Perhaps there should be a campaign about choose “this” whatever this is instead of drugs. Because preaching “just say no” didn’t work in the 80s and still don’t seem to be working now.
Facts.
This right here the first paragraph i believe
The sadness.....my heart goes out to this family.
I dont understand why kids even THINK they need a pill. No kid needs a Percocet, or Vicoden, or Xanax. They're not wanting the fentanyl, they're wanting what they thought the pill actually was. Why? So sad...if they hadn't been chasing a high through a pill, they'd still be here. I feel so sorry for the families left behind.
It's up to the parents, not anyone else, to educate your children about illegal drugs, and whatever! To lookout for! Like my folks did for me!
Wow, what a stunning Tucker, mom ya did good!!
We heard u, thank you for Sharing such a sensitive situation. 🌹
I can't wrap my head around the fact that he knew the dealer was selling poisoned pills and he still went to him. The pull of the thrill or relief must have been greater than the fear of death. Rest in peace, Tucker. Love to his family and friends❤
Exactly
Could Tucker have hoped that his mom could shut down this dealer's operation and erase that temptation/connection? Tucker seemed eager for his mom's help in that respect.
@@cynthiavirissimo457 yeaaa the fact that he always told his mum about that particular dealer and still went back to him. I wish he never did and I wish police shut down the dealer faster. I wish Tucker wasn't part of the statistics but even in death, his story is still making a difference
He is beautiful!! ♥️ He shines.
Why was it OK to do Percocet? It is disturbing to me that she thought weed, Percocet, psychedelics were 'normal' for a high school kid? Percocet is a very strong opiate
I am a mother and an RN and the fact that a kid is using 'Xanax' and stopped breathing is a crisis-mom. He was using to seek comfort not experimenting. She was hard to listen to because she doesn't get it.
I look for these stories. They're so necessary. Heartbreaking, but necessary. My 17 yr old niece has never done drugs of any kind, & I try to tell her about these so she doesn't ever. I'm so sorry to these families losing these amazing family members. The world is missing out on these people.. all because of Fentanyl. 😢
Dont ever get comfortable and trust her judgement, keep stressing the importance of keeping off drugs.
My 34 year old son died, probably of a heroin overdose (in Australia). I had no idea he was using drugs. So naive! It's so hard to describe what happens when your child dies (in my case my only child, but I don't think that fact is important). It's as bad as they say; leaves you empty inside. For it to happen by accident, when my generation got away with so much. He was young, smart, good looking, shouldn't have died. Should be raising kids and achieving stuff. The absolute fact about death is absence. They're just gone.
Oh sweetie, the boy was being sweet because he was high on narcotics. My neighbor lady is an addict too, comes over, eyes rolling back in her sockets, doin the heroin nod, and trying to hug me.
My neighbor just lost one of her sons to this. Unfortunately she was the one that discovered him in the back yard. It’s devastating.
Stay away from drugs and alcohol, friends.
A nightmare......😔
Very sorry for your loss. You are both beautiful inside and out. R.I.P. T. Roe
There def needs more to be done . Too many people are dying daily. Fentanyl should be regarded as high as Covid if not more because more people are dying from fentanyl than Covid !! Rip sweet Tucker and many more 😢😢
What a lovely, neat, great kid! What a wonderful family! I’m so sorry you are all going through this. I know you miss him terribly. Thoughts and prayers for all of you.🌻
19 is early to leave your parents' home and live on your own nowadays, especially if this addiction was a sign to get back to the family's house who can watch you and over you. But it's an addiction that carry shame so people do it in hiding and alone and when they OD no one's around to catch them. The government can do something but theyd rather put their focus and money elsewhere. 😢
He was a beautiful soul!!❤❤❤
Meus sentimentos a família 😪
That absolutely is the most beautiful portrait I have EVER, EVER SEEN. I want one of my latek husband but I'm so scared that it won't look like him. You can see EVERY PART of his. That is the most beautiful portrait I have seen. He looks like an angel as he should
My advice, like I tell my nephews, do not try marijuana, pills, or any drugs at all.
Sorry, but Marijuana doesn't belong in that grouping.
@@krisrobb7709 Regardless, marijuana is no good for them either. Addictions are bad, period.
@@sunriseschubert4391 I believe Marijuana to be very beneficial to many.
Facts especially now a days folks wanna see you fucked up sad.
