2:49 am
knows a thing or two about online bullying. >> and how do you do? >> and of course her husband harry is no stranger to that either. or to unspeakable grief. the central topic is the loss that these families are have suffered. stories that need to be shared because the parents who are listening who have not suffered a loss think they couldn't, but they could. >> they certainly could. and that's i think one of the scariest things that we've learned over the course of the last 15, 17 years that social media has been around and also more recently is the fact that it could happen to absolutely anybody. i mean, we always talk about in the olden days, if your kids were under your roof, you knew what they were up to. at least they were safe, right? but now they can be in the next door room on a tablet or phone and been 24 hours, they could be going down these habit holes, and before you know it, in the
2:50 am
next 24 hours they could be taking their life. >> but all you want to do as parents is protect them. as you can see in the online space, we know there a lot of work to be done there, and we're happy to be a part of change for good. >> you hope that when your children ask for help you hope that someone is there to give it. >> if you know how to help. >> thank you. >> at this point, we've got to the stage where almost every parent needs to be a first responder. and even the best responders in the world wouldn't be able to tell the signs of possible suicide. like that is the terrifying piece of this. >> you can't tell his story to everybody. people don't understand. >> it's something donna and chris dali know all too well. their 17-year-old son cj died from suicide after what they believe was depression, fueled by social media use. >> but your son had a demon in his bedroom. >> yes. we had no idea what happened to our son. he had a beautiful car. he worked and did that he had a job he liked. parents that adored him.
2:51 am
>> and he was happy. he was a happy kid. >> reporter: and like so many parents in their place, the dalis say a factor in their son's depression and death was his smartphone, a device designed to be so addictive that he couldn't put it down, not even in the minutes before he died. >> he's still had it in his hand, the phone. that's how addicted he was. he couldn't even kill himself without posting about it first. >> reporter: and like the dalis, it's often impossible for anyone else or to see that someone else was too deep in despair that they'd consider taking their own life. meghan markle has been there, as she told oprah winfrey in 2021. >> look, i was really ashamed to say it at the time, and ashamed to have to admit it to harry especially. because i know how much loss he
2:52 am
suffered. but i knew that if i didn't say it, that i would do it. and i just didn't -- i just didn't want to be alive anymore. >> you had an experience that connects you to these families. and i see you touch your husband's hand in just the way i knew that you would be looking after each other, if i went places. but the connection that you have with people is they know you had suffered too, personally, contemplating killing yourself is what suicidal ideation was. i'm dancing around this because i can see you're uncomfortable with my even going there. >> i understand why you are, though, i wasn't expecting it, but i understand why. because there is a through-line, i think. when you have been through any level of pain or trauma, i
2:53 am
believe part of our healing journey, certainly part of mine is being able to be really open about it. and i haven't really scraped the surface on my experience. but i do think that i would never want someone else to feel that way, and i would never want someone else to be making those sort of plans, and i would never want someone else to not be believed. it's me voicing what i have overcome will save someone or asks or encourage someone in their life to really genuinely check in on them and not assume that the appearance is good so everything is okay, then that's worth it. i'll take a hit for that. >> reporter: this in-person gathering was just for the launch. the parents network will meet mostly online. but group facilitator leora says important thing is what the group will talk about. >> we're going to stop expecting you to be done with your chief in a year.
2:54 am
we're going to stop telling you that we're tired of hearing the stories of internet harm. we will say your kid's name over and over again because they existed and they mattered, and we know it wasn't your fault. that's it, right? it wasn't your fault. this happened to you. and now we as a community get to create something with you. >> knowing that we're help others. and even if that saves one kid and one family's heartache. that's enough. >> reporter: and these are some of the group's charter members. taj and selene swanson jenson, whose son tanner died from an overdose of drugs pushed online. >> england was your youngest. >> she was the youngest, 14 years old. >> reporter: brandy and tony roberts who lost their daughter england to suicide after online bullying. and carla mendoza whose son eli died when a painkiller he bought online was actually a lethal dose of fentanyl. >> thank you for being here, but
2:55 am
i have to ask why would you do this, why would you do this. >> a simple answer, so others don't have to live what we've lived and will continue to live. >> i don't expect anything from anyone. this is just a labor of love in honor of my son and all the other children who have lost their lives to fentanyl. this is for the mother can got cannot get out of bed, for the dad that won't leave his house. i stand here for them too. i hope that one day when it's my turn to good home, i'll see my son and he'll tell me good job, mama. >> that was jane pauley reporting.
