A dealer friended Berman’s son Sammy, 16, on Snapchat and sent a menu of drugs, one tainted with Fentanyl. Berman is suing Snap saying his death was preventable.
, Snapchat’s parent company, for product liability following their children’s drug-related deaths.
Sam Chapman and his wife Dr. Laura Berman told The Post that they hold Snapchat partly responsible for the death of their son Sammy. They hold up a picture of the boy.Sammy’s parents maintain that the drug dealer, who they say went by the handle Mr.Don248, with the promise of “I deliver” under his name, befriended the teenager via a Snapchat feature known as Quick Add.
This menu was sent to Sammy, as a guide to choosing the drugs he wanted. He bought cocaine and it killed him.According to Snap, Sammy would have accepted the dealer as a friend and okayed the dealer knowing his geolocation. Sam Chapman was disappointed by the LA County DA’s office refusing to prosecute the dealer who sold fentanyl-laced cocaine to his son. He was told that between Sammy buying the drug and snorting it “anything could have happened.”The LA DA’s office told The Post, “We were unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the drugs that caused the death of Samuel were sold by this particular dealer. None of this negates the tremendous loss that is felt by this family.
“That’s shorthand for Xanax,” Mendoza told The Post, adding that, later in the day, he fatally overdosed from fentanyl. Dr. Laura Berman hugs Sammy. She and more than 60 parents believe that Snapchat contributed to the drug-related deaths of their children. They are involved in lawsuits against the company.Marquez and her clients maintain that they pressed Snapchat to make adjustments that could prevent this from happening to other kids and in court filings accuse it of being “the go-to means to distribute drugs to children, teens, and young adults through social media.
Expressing empathy for “families who have suffered unimaginable losses,” a Snap spokesperson told The Post, “We use cutting-edge technology to help us proactively find and eradicate drug content and accounts. We block search results for drug-related terms.” Dr. Laura Berman and Sam Chapman described themselves as “accidental activists.” They are pushing fore the passing of Sammy’s Law, which would give parents the ability to track their kids’ online activities.Snapchat offers a tool called Family Center, which allows parents to see who their kids are communicating with. But, unlike the third-party software that Sammy’s law is rallying for, it does not notify them about what is actually being posted or communicated.
