Warning: Some viewers may find the contents of this video disturbing.
A woman’s eyes roll to the back of her head. Her skin purple, her face gaunt, her eyes bulging like a grotesque Halloween mask.
A man collapsed on the floor dripping in sweat, totally oblivious to what is going on around him. Totally oblivious to his children trying to wake him from his drug stupor.
And the whole thing captured and live streamed to Facebook by their very own children.
Welcome to a world where drug overdoses and social media collide.
The footage was posted online. Via YouTube.
The disturbing footage shows two young teenagers trying to wake up their parents ravaged by heroin. At times the teenagers sound desperate, the young girl crying out "Ma, wake up Ma."
At other times they giggle and poke and prod them, showing us that this is something these teenagers, these children have seen countless times before.
The footage was captured in an unknown US city last week and has gone viral. The teenage girl begs her mother “Wake up Ma” while her brother, who sounds a little older films, but their mother’s eyes only roll back in her head and she lolls on the couch corpse-like.
The son, capturing the footage tries to wake his father saying "Man, you cannot be like this around your kids, man.
"This s*** not cool."
The father begins to respond, he starts to sit up but then collapses again, sweat cascading around his gaunt body.
The father begins to respond, but collapses again.
The teenage girl then tries to kick her father into action saying "he can't even feel it, that's how high he is" but the man has succumbed to the drug and is immune to his surroundings.
