FENTANYL POISONING: Noah Rodriguez's Story

[@janelrodriguez7543]

So for those of who must know... being 2 weeks postpartum, can barely move from having a c-section and being diagnosed with postpartum anxiety and then getting this call about my son... do you honestly think I could have driven myself over there? Anyway, my son's story is meant to spread awareness to help you and your kids not to "parent" shame.

[@samanthasanchez8096]

Don't explain yourself, people like that don't deserve answers. We'll just pray that they never have to play all that out in real life.

[@elainew2230]

Even if you had driven there, it wouldn't have helped. Sorry people are reacting this way.

[@janelrodriguez7543]

Thanks for your "advice" Just so you know, we knew all the friends, their parents, where they lived. We randomly searched his phone and took it away when he got in trouble. We took the door off his room so he couldn't hide anything. We did soooo many things but in the end, a teenager is gonna do what a teenager wants to do and unfortunately for my son, this decision ended his life. It had NOTHING to do with what I did or didn't do.

[@Itz.liljay]

@@hakimbandaru1915how is that not true? Have you even grew up around people who’ve done that type of stuff? I’ve had rich white friends with somewhat strict parents and good households become drug addicts based off there own decisions. I myself have great parents with not a single problem in my household and I’ve done pills like a idiot when I was 17 because I was influenced by others and my own dumb thoughts even tho my parents were heavily against that type of stuff. When you are young you are legit dumb and easily influenced so it doesn’t always matter if you have good parenting or not

@@Keepmywifenameoutyourmfmouth "Not my kid"...it is said before tragedy strikes. Talk to your 16 year old, pray and hope that your child avoids any and all ways they can come into contact with things and people that can harm them. I have news for you: unless your kid is tied to your hip 24/7, they are as vulnerable to addiction or even being slipped something as the next kid. "Not my kid". How many times does it have to be said to stop saying that crap by parents who said it and then buried their kid? Good grief.

[@Keepmywifenameoutyourmfmouth]

@@Musicball see that’s the CLEAR difference, my child respects me enough to understand that what I tell him isn’t to harm but to HELP him… I’ve explained YEARS ago and throughout the years what drugs does and how bad they are! And guess what: HE COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDS… I don’t have to have my child on a leash because when respect is established, my son knows and understands there are vices out there that is detrimental !

How sick is that? “Hey everyone, I can do better than this woman who lost her son!”. “Look at me!”

[@Keepmywifenameoutyourmfmouth]

@@jacobm.carter8060 if that’s how you took my comment, oh well🤷🏾‍♀️ I can’t tell you how to feel but what I will say is OF COURSE NO ONE IS PERFECT but as I said in my comment; my child RESPECTS ME enough to understand that what I TELL him is to help not hurt him; my child has ENOUGH RESPECT for me to not hide things such as being a fentanyl user; I KNOW my child enough to know the changes in his behavior… take it how you want but NOT EVERY PARENT has to see eye to eye or empathize with each other🤷🏾‍♀️ MANY teenagers grow up just fine! And that can be attributed to the parents whose raised them

[@sumxo777]

[@p.hearting9992]

My mom was quick to give up on me. Keep in mind I was only 15 years old. She says her love is unconditional but based off that I don’t think it is. But anyway I also put my parents through hell and see where I was wrong now that I am also a parent. I stopped doing drugs on my own without anyone’s help or support because I knew I still could and it wasn’t too late for me. To this day my parents do t know what kind of drugs I was messing with. I’m going to just leave it in the past and say those were dark times. But you are very lucky your parents love you enough to root for you and your recovery. Not many parents have that type of love in them.

[@thethiefonthecross9092]

You say you gave them hell but I hope you also see the pain and recognize what you are doing to them I hope you change to better yourself and to stop hurting your parents by hurting yourself. You will never know what it's like until you have your own kids making those decisions and you see what it's like to have a broken heart.

[@RONIN1992]

@@UCantNinjaMe drugs are being cut with Fentynal because it's extremely cheap to produce and is much stronger than heroine and other opiates. Meaning they can make more money off of a smaller amount of drugs. They also will sell these pills disguised as blue Percocets. It's literally the strongest opioid out there and even if you have a high tolerance to the drug, the smallest amount can be a fatal dose. These drugs dealers are not pharmacists or scientists.

@@hakimbandaru1915 You’re totally correct, however I’d say the majority of parents have no idea about what they’re children do after school and who they hang out with. Parents nowadays (not all) seem to neglect the idea of worrying for their children, and it’s important for students to learn the dangers of drug use somewhere so school is the next best thing. It shouldn’t have to be taught in school if parents thoroughly taught their children about drug-related dangers, but we’re in a drug epidemic and need as many resources as possible.

Because of them, i learned to take a ton of types of drugs. Perhaps im just lucky to still be alive and able to realize how bad things were and how bad of an influence my so called 'friends' were.

I just remembered tonight that I used to know Noah. I had no idea he was one of the kids who passed away from fentanyl in hays CISD this year. I went to the same middle school as him, and im pretty sure I sat next to him in my 7th grade math class for a good while. I never really knew him, and unfortunately i don’t remember almost anything about him other than that he was in at least one of my classes in 7-8th grade, but it was still really hard news to hear. As a high schooler myself, I know that a lot of high schoolers are just too stubborn to care when they see stuff like this. Many of them will continue doing drugs because they never think it will be them in this situation; that is, until *they’re* the one overdosing on what they didnt know was actually fentanyl. I really don’t know what it will take for these kids (my peers) to stop dying these totally preventable deaths. And no, that does not mean it was Noah’s fault, or any of the other victims’ fault. Yes, they weren’t making great decisions (which very well could be caused by peer pressure on a teen’s still developing brain), but they had no way of knowing for certain in that moment that the pill they were about to take was laced with fentanyl. And to anyone using this absolutely tragic loss as an excuse to criticize someone’s parenting, blame the victim, blame our current government administration, or whatever else: stop. This is a real human woman who lost her real human son; the child she had raised for almost 16 years. Let her and her family grieve. Rest in peace, Noah Rodriguez.

@@janelrodriguez7543 I just watched this video and I’m so so truly sorry for your loss. I cant imagine nor do I ever want to know the pain you are going thru as a parent. Watching this and the pain in your eyes really hurt my heart. I know the pain of losing my brother to addiction and the pain my mother goes thru everyday. You can do everything to raise your child right but even with that it’s sometimes not enough. With peer pressure and wanting to fit in doing the wrong thing seems right at the time. No one can know every outcome of every situation therefore bad choices are made. EVERYONE, especially the insensitive hypocrites making these horrible comments, have made bad choices. Some obviously are worse than others however no one has the right to judge another. My families loss has changed me forever as I’ll never be the person I once was before my brothers passing. I also have traveled a dark dark road that I had to pull myself out of. I overdosed one time in my mother’s driveway in front of her. It took a lot of counseling, changes and support to get me back on the right track. I will pray for you and your family and I thank you for sharing your painful story. Your son is a beautiful soul that will always protect his family❤

I can guarantee this video has saved many lives so far, I just hope it's still around so I can show my kids what my wife and I can go through if they choose the wrong decision. I'm very sorry for what you went through and hope each day bring you back to how it felt before. Just remember that it will when we pass on to reunite again.

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your son. I will take this opportunity to educate as many people as I can. This killer drug is everywhere. I live up here in Southern Alberta, Canada, and we all know someone who has died from this drug. I can think of 3 this year, but if I really looked into it, there would be way more. I hope we can save more people with these kinds of stories and bring awareness. 🙏 thank you for sharing your experiences. Your son will be remembered for being a beautiful soul.

In a world of questions why, we’ll never know the why but I do thank you for sharing your story in efforts to spread awareness. We are living in very evil times and our poor children are so vulnerable and naive that they fall susceptible in thinking it can never be them. All we can do is continue to bring awareness and stay in 🙏🏽

My Grandson OD'd and the cop who gave him NARCAN was that came to my car accident with my Grandson and the cop recognized him...YEAH MY GRANDSON WAS VALEDICTORIAN IN 2019....it is so unbelievable.

[@TexasPictures]

Naloxone is the active ingredient in Narcan and is also available in many generics as a nasal spray. In fact, the brand name Kloxxado delivers a higher dose of naloxone than Narcan (Kloxxado-8mg per dose, Narcan-4mg per dose). Naloxone can reverse an opioid overdose if administered quickly enough. Some areas have Naloxone available in the brand name Narcan or generic versions available for free. It is important to recognize that Naloxone is the drug, Narcan is just a brand name. Whenever someone uses the word "Narcan" in place of "naloxone", they're devaluing all the other equally effective brand options and promoting a specific pharmaceutical company.

So sorry for this family. It's not the parents fault. I tell my sons constantly how much it sucks for kids these days...that in my time we could experiment and try things, but now with this, one pill can kill. I can only hope they listen to me.
