19: The Deadly Consequences of SnapChat with Sam Chapman


Listen Later

Sam Chapman calls himself an 'accidental activist' after he lost his 16 year old son to fentanyl poisoning through a drug he accessed from a drug dealer that connected with him through SnapChat. Sammy was an amazing kid — sweet, funny, curious, and an A student. His parents worked hard to keep him away from dangerous people and places. But, like most parents, they had no idea that drug dealers were preying on children using Snapchat and other social media platforms. Sam and his wife have turned their pain into purpose with the proposal of 'Sammy's Law' that would force tech companies to use third party safety software integration to keep minors safe online inside of these platforms.
