'Her Son Dealt The Drugs That Killed My Daughter & Now We've Teamed Up' | This Morning

In May 2019, 15-year-old Leah Heyes collapsed in a car park after taking the drug MDMA. That night, she lost her life. The 17-year-old boy who dealt her the illegal Class A drug, Connor Kirkwood, was arrested and jailed for 21 months. The consequences that night had on both teenagers' families is hard to comprehend. Bboth Leah and Connor's mothers - Kerry Roberts and Tammy Kirkwood - are, side by side, campaigning to raise drug awareness in young people. It’s their hope that they can prevent any parent from having to live through such tragedy.

I am sending out my thoughts and prayers and love to her family and friends 😢💔 forever young she is gone way to soon she is gone but she will never be forgotten

My bf is autistic very sporty and he was groomed into drugs. Thankfully we got him out but was hundreds of pounds of debt tbey kept saying he owed and these were people he saw as his 'mates' until he wanted out of it. His mum multiple times gave him £500 to buy him out, then he started to ask me scares to tell his mum but she was saying sure i paid the debt for u !! So i paid it twice. And then we spoke to his mum and we both paid them off once.

Why is this the only comment

[@Hulbert1999]

Death by mdma is very very rare. We need to realise that people will do these drugs and provide testing and education. Thst will stop people dying not pretending like drugs are evil. I’m sure more teens have died from alcohol

[@mandyholmberg5106]

I know exactly what it feels like to lose a really! Young family member because my younger brother Patrick passed away from a heart attack in his sleep from a alcohol overdose on August 2nd 2020 he was just 28 years old when he passed away and he also had a drug addiction we really! Miss him everyday

[@noradinneen1]

What's the term the boy's Mother is saying-"County" something? Are they organised crims?

[@leannejay]

County lines - kids and young adults transporting drugs from county to county "employed" by drug trafficking rings.

[@noradinneen1]

​@leannejay Thanks for the explanation. So sorry for all your trouble.

[@MyAssefa]

Inconsiderate of the other mother to talk about her sons college career, and sport-activities

[@puclopuclik4108]

She was invited to speak about her son. Both teenagers did horrible mistakes that destroyed their life. Grooming children is a real problem and needs to be addressed.

[@Shay_0o0o]

How??? They asked her about her son so we can understand him better, both children are victims.
