Sam lost his son, Sammy Chapman, at age 16 after he unknowingly got fentanyl from a dealer who contacted him on Snapchat. Sam talks about who Sammy was, where fentanyl originates, how it ends up on smartphones, and why kids across the country are at risk. They also discuss Sammy’s Law and the ongoing fight to hold social media companies accountable. Sam shares the sad reality that platforms like Snapchat have long known about these dangers but have done far too little to address them.
