WASHINGTON—Over and over, Amy Neville forces herself to tell people what happened to her 14-year-old son.
“I relive it. ... I’m out there sharing the hardest thing that’s ever happened in my life,” she said. “It’s worth it, because I know we’re saving lives.”
Neville, 52, wiped away tears as she spoke those words during an interview with The Epoch Times on June 23. That day marked five years since her son, Alexander Neville, unknowingly ingested fentanyl and died—a tragedy that could easily befall any family, she said.
Through the nonprofit Alexander Neville Foundation, the grieving mother shares her personal pain with other parents. By her estimation, Amy Neville has given a couple hundred presentations in person and online; about 300,000 people have heard her warnings about the dangers that lurk on social media, leading to deaths such as Alex’s.
Neville also serves as the lead plaintiff in a groundbreaking court case that could affect the way Big Tech operates in the United States.
She believes that changes are needed to prevent many deaths among young people who, like Alex, flock to Snapchat and other online platforms.
Neville and her husband are among 63 fentanyl victims’ families suing Snapchat. They allege that the platform is a defective product and a public nuisance and that it should be held responsible for fentanyl overdose deaths, poisonings, and injuries.
Snap Inc., parent company of Snapchat, “vehemently denies” the allegations, a judge noted.

Sue China. They get the money for dealing fentanyl and the political power from making the US disintegrate as families are destroyed and police and prisons have the burden of fighting Chinese fentanyl.
Worst thing the Chinese did under Wuhan and the intentional biowarfare of Covid.
The time will come for justice.
Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho), Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, in March 2025, referred to China as “the single greatest source of fentanyl and synthetic opioid precursors to Mexican cartels” and accused the Chinese government of supporting the activity, according to the Associated Press.
So, why is it Snapchat’s fault that her son took deadly drugs?
Or is it just that her ambulance chasing lawyers figure that Snapchat has ‘the deepest pockets’?
Methadone Produce Pickers Inc.
Our workers always show up.
Our workers never go on strike.
Exactly. The lawsuit makes no sense.
so Alexander ingested the fentanyl thru what exactly? Breakfast cereal? a Hershey bar?
