FOX 10's Lauren Clark reports. MESA, Ariz. - A Mesa family is suing Snapchat, after their son died from an accidental fentanyl overdose. In the lawsuit, lawyers for Zach Plunk's family argue Snapchat is acting as a go-to platform for drug dealers, and want to hold the company accountable. "This is a tragic story of a 17-year-old boy who made a bad decision, but not one that should have ended his life," said Matthew Bergman with the Social Media Victims Law Center. Bergman is representing Plunk's family in the lawsuit. Two years ago, Plunk was a happy teen, and a football player at Hamilton High School.

Devastatingly, authorities say it turned out to be a counterfeit laced with fentanyl, which killed the teen. "It was a tragedy that never had to happen," said

Story by Brad McElhinny Prosecutors have called a former Kanawha County school counselor “a sexual predator of the most egregious variety” even as a scheduled sentencing was delayed. Federal prosecutors have asked for a 35-year sentence for former counselor Todd Roatsey in a memorandum filed in U.S. District Court for Southern West Virginia. Todd Roatsey Todd Christopher Roatsey, 43, of Elkview has pleaded guilty to charges of attempted production of child pornography and attempted enticement of a minor. Prior to the guilty plea, Roatsey had faced 13 charges. Roatsey worked at Pinch Elementary School from August 2012 to last November. The sentencing had been scheduled to take place today. But during a telephone conference this week, a judge agreed more time is necessary to finalize restitutio9n for victims. So the new sentencing date is 1:30 p.m. Dec. 19. “Defendant has spent his entire adult life engaged in the sexual abuse and exploitation of children,” prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum. “Starting in his early twenties and continuing through his arrest in this case two decades later, defendant has engaged in nearly every type of sexual abuse that exists.” Prosecutors allege that he: Sexually abused at least two children between the ages of

The price of turkey is higher this year than in 2021. But shoppers likely won’t see a 17% increase like some data suggests because of widespread seasonal discounts.

Ted Cruz (R-TX) recently claimed on Twitter that Thanksgiving turkey prices are up 17% this year because of inflation. Joe Biden’s Thanksgiving prices this year: Turkey: +17%Flour: +24%Butter: +32% So much for Biden’s “Inflation Reduction Act.”— Sen. Marsha Blackburn (@MarshaBlackburn) November 5, 2022 THE QUESTION Are turkey prices up 17% this year?  THE SOURCES THE ANSWER The claim that turkey prices are up 17% this year needs context.  Prices for certain types of poultry, including turkey, are up nearly 17% this October compared to last October, data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) show. But that number does not account for seasonal retailer discounts on turkeys that typically happen every November ahead of Thanksgiving. The increase in price is much lower with those discounts taken into account.  WHAT WE FOUND The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) tracks the prices of everyday
