Fort Worth mom whose son died from fentanyl overdose to continue awareness rallies - KRLD NewsA woman who lives in Fort Worth is planning a fourth rally this weekend to warn other families about fentanyl. The CDC says overdose deaths among people ages 14 to 18 increased 109% from 2019 to 2021. Stephanie Hellstern's 16 year old son died from a fentanyl overdose in July of 2020. She says her son thought he was buying a Percocet pill. 'It wasn't just laced with fentanyl, it was pure fentanyl,' she says.
