Landen Hausman, a high school sophomore, died in January after buying fentanyl-laced Percocet through a dealer on social media. His family found him collapsed on the bathroom floor and tried to revive him with CPR, but it was too late. Hausman said his son probably did not recognize that counterfeit Percocet could be laced with fentanyl.
Sadly, Landen's story is all too common. Last year, more than 100,000 Americans died from fentanyl — more deaths than there were of Americans killed in the wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq combined. Deaths among teens have more than tripled since 2019. "No longer are we talking about meeting on the street and making that connection," Monaco told CBS News."The dealer is in your kid's pocket along with the phone."
"We're asking them to do more," she said."They need to do more. They need to be policing their platforms. … They need to use, quite frankly, the same tools and the technology that allows them to exquisitely serve up those ads for all sorts of things that we're buying online and identify those drug dealers and getting them off."
What do you think the wall was for? Biden Administration is a disgrace for not securing that border from the cartel human trafficking and drug trafficking. All of these deaths could have been prevented-
Has anyone fact checked CBS News lately?
RayburnThompson SHAME on NorahODonnell for ignoring the DIRECT SOURCE of where Fentanyl is coming from….our BORDERS! Admitting that would be admitting there is a crisis at our borders CREATED by the millions who are flooding in and the over a million “got aways” who smuggle it in!
RayburnThompson How many reports has done on our borders….the place where the majority of Fentanyl is coming from? Has CBS demanded answers from Biden Admin for the MULTI MILLIONS of illegals flooding in for 2 years? Have their reporters gone to borders to speak with border agents?
The War on Drugs must end! Since Nixon started it there has been 0 positive outcomes. Prolonging this war will only make things worse, so it needs to stop. MyBodyMyChoice WarOnDrugs potus
Put the Army in the borders.
Way to go Joe. A state-run media that purposely hides the failures of this administration is complicit in all that is happening here including these deaths
Let’s keep that southern border open
So what are you gonna do about it?
That's what happens when you open the boarder and give control of it to the cartels! And as far as I'm concerned you are complicit to the problem CBS
And we can thanks it to our President about it. Facts he just file suit against the states from building a wall to help keep the drug Smugglers out our country
And its your fault CBS...by ignoring it and suppressing info that doesnt fit the demonrat narrative.
“Last year, more than 100,000 Americans died from fentanyl .” Killing off your clients seems like a bad business model.
It's all coming in across JOE BIDEN'S BORDER!!
🤡🤣☠️🥱💤☠️
Don't do drugs?
Close the border!
The government should be blasting the airwaves, tv, radio, all social media sites to send a message to our young people. Any drug you take, you try, you experiment with could kill you.
People discussing this before were being silenced on social media Yes, you were warned. They've done their best to silence those warnings. Sounds like they're getting exactly what they were seeking. More war means more profit for the 'good guys' right? Grab some money and run.
Maybe the southern border should be closed - just a thought
CBS finally catching on...? Cool. Now maybe you want to try to identify the problems....
Why the f don't we just close our border for starters!!!!
Compliments of the Democrat party.
Does fearless leader know this 🤡
This is the 1 reason we must secure our border
Sacrificing the well-being of children in order to protect elders is a sign of a dying society.
