The DEA issued a public service announcement back in September and I just saw it now when looking further into a Emoji Decoding document circulating on Facebook. This is a nightmare situation parents!
Please be vigilant in monitoring with your children’s online use.
Excerpt from article:
Some of the most common counterfeit pills are made to look like prescription opioids such as oxycodone (Oxycontin®, Percocet®), hydrocodone (Vicodin®), and alprazolam (Xanax®); or stimulants like amphetamines (Adderall®). Fake prescription pills are widely accessible and often sold on social media and e-commerce platforms – making them available to anyone with a smartphone, including teens and young adults. These counterfeit pills have been seized by DEA in every U.S. state, and in unprecedented quantities.
