Drug use: 'Kids need to understand the harshness of reality'

A new safety campaign on Snapchat has been welcomed by a mother who lost her 13-year-old son to drugs he bought via the social media app.

Carson Price, of Hengoed, Caerphilly county, bought high-strength ecstasy for a few pounds in April last year.

He died in hospital after being found "in and out of consciousness, pale and shaking" in a park.

His mother, Tatum, described the new "Fearless" campaign by Crimestoppers as "positive".
