Designed to Influence and Addict: Social Media’s Impact on Our Children

Amy Neville’s life changed forever when her son, Alexander, died at 14

from a fentanyl-laced pill he accessed through social media. Just 24

hours passed from his admission of experimenting with oxycodone to his

tragic death.

In this gripping episode of Falling to Freedom, Amy shares her

heartbreaking story and her fight to hold social media platforms

accountable for their role in addicting and endangering kids.

We explore:

- How Snapchat and similar apps enable teen drug access and addiction.

- Amy’s role as lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against Snapchat.

- Practical parenting tips: delaying smartphones, using flip phones,

safe settings, monitoring feeds, and teaching kids about online risks.

- Key resources like the DEA Drug Emoji Guide, Wait Until 8th Campaign,

and healthy screen Habits.
