‘Protect Our Children: The Opioid Crisis’ – Watch it on ABC7NY


Saturday, March 30th, 2019 8:19PMNEW YORK — WABC-TV aired the special “PROTECT OUR CHILDREN: THE OPIOID CRISIS” on Saturday, March 30 at 7 p.m. (also to be re-run Sun. 3/31at 5:30 a.m.). 

The program is hosted by Eyewitness News Anchor Diana Williams and addresses the worst drug crisis in American history – the opioid crisis – which is truly a public health emergency. 

The program begins by pointing out the fact that the national death toll from drug overdoses has now reached record highs. 

The statistics are grim and show that prescription opioids have helped lead the way towards this epidemic and unfortunately children are the most vulnerable to the ill effects of drug usage. We feature families that have lost children and are fighting this epidemic by trying to raise awareness and change legislation. Parents are now having to confront this by becoming experts on subjects they’d rather not have engaged with.
