On the heels of a major fentanyl seizure campaign, parents of a Vancouver teen who died of a fentanyl overdose say more attention needs to be paid by police to people selling the drugs to teens.
“I applaud that they’re trying to get this stuff off the streets,” said Karen Dunlap. “But there’s no enforcement of the people that are actually out there selling this to our kids for $5 or $10. The police turn a complete blind eye to any of that kind of accountability.”
Karen and Greg Dunlap’s 16-year-old son Tyler does not fit the mold of what Canadians may imagine to be the average fentanyl overdose victim. The Dunlaps say Tyler was outgoing, popular, active in sports and loved family gatherings.
“I’d say he was the typical teenager, but he was so much more than that,” said his mom. “You know, he was just so vivacious and full of life.”
