Protecting Kids From Fentanyl (with Chris Didier)


Listen Later

This episode is dedicated to the life of Zach Didier, forever 17.


"We're losing a classroom of students every week," shares Chris Didier.


We're way past "not my kid." Fentanyl does not discriminate and parents need to get educated on this epidemic. There is a new category of victim where children are trying something they think is harmless, but it's lethal. As parents, need we to up our game and keep our kids away from this danger.


In this discussion with Chris Didier, parents will learn about Chris' personal experience with fentanyl through the loss of his son in 2020.


I asked Chris the tough questions all parents want to know, including:

  • Where are kids getting fake pills containing fentanyl
  • Why do drug dealers use Snapchat?
  • How addictive and deadly are these pills?
  • Why would they distribute something that is going to kill their customers?
  • How do we protect our kids?
  • What to do if your child has been exposed to fentanyl? (THESE TIPS COULD SAVE YOUR CHILD'S LIFE)

    More About Chris Dider:

    Chris is a father of 3 incredible children and is originally from the Sacramento, CA area. He attended the Air Force Academy and is now a retired Air Force officer, current pilot for United Airlines, and former head coach for the Rocklin youth soccer club.


    In Dec. 2020, Chris discovered his youngest child, Zachary in the privacy of his room no longer alive after Zach consumed what was thought was a legitimate and harmless prescription pill. Instead, Zach had unknowingly ingested a fake pill made of illicit fentanyl and died at the age of 17 as a high school senior. Zach had no history of recreational drug use or struggled with depression or anxiety.


    Zach was a self-taught musician, straight-A student, multi-sport athlete, lead role in a HS Musical, and was active with Scouting and community service. His giving nature and infectious smile will always be missed. Since his passing, Zach was accepted into five U.C.s, including UCLA.


    Chris is working tirelessly in his advocacy to help bring needed awareness and education of the dangers of illicit synthetics in an effort to save lives. He serves as an executive board member for Victims of Illicit Drugs: https://stopthevoid.org
