26: The Deadly Dangers of Social Media with Amy Neville

We give our kids smartphones, but do we truly understand the inherent dangers that lie behind the screens? Amy Neville is a bereaved mother, activist, and advocate who was blindsided by the death of her 14 year old son Alex who had become connected with a drug dealer via SnapChat. That drug dealer sold Alex a counterfeit oxycodone pill laced with fentanyl that killed him. Amy is the founder of the Alexander Neville Foundation who’s mission is to educate youth and communities on teen mental health and the dangers of social media and fentanyl. Amy has orchestrated 5 rallies in front of SnapChat head quarters to speak up about the harms happening to kids on SnapChat.
