心碎!美国爸爸亲口告诉儿子 你妈妈吸毒死了!

It's news no parent wants to break to a child.

没有父母愿意向孩子透露这种消息。

Brenden Clark had to tell his 8-year-old son Cameron his Mother had died from a drug overdose the night before.

布雷顿·克拉克不得不告诉他8岁的儿子卡梅伦，他的母亲因为吸毒过量永远离开了这个世界。

He recorded the moment, and posted it to his Facebook page -- as a cautionary tale, he says. A week later, the video has over 34 million views.

他将这个过程录成视频发到了脸书网上--据他说是为了起警示作用。上传才一周，视频点击量就超过了3400万。

Sitting at a picnic table in northeastern Ohio, Clark told the boy there's something he needed to hear. "Mommy died last night."

在美国俄亥俄州的一个野餐桌上，克拉克告诉孩子，有些事他得知道。“妈妈昨天晚上去世了。”

Cameron appeared shocked, prompting his father to repeat it several times."What do you mean? My mom? How?" the boy asked.

卡梅伦听到这个消息显然很震惊，重复问道：“什么？你说的话是什么意思？我的妈妈？怎么死的？”

"From drugs," Clark replied.

随后克拉克答道：“因为毒品。”

The boy broke down in tears, falling into his grandmother's arms.

这个小男孩瞬间痛哭流涕，哭倒在奶奶的怀抱里。

"This is for any and every addict with children," the father wrote on Facebook.

这位父亲在脸书网上这样写道：“这是给任何人，给每一个吸毒的父母看的。”

Clark said he took the video without his child's permission -- but got his approval to post it online.

克拉克表示，他拍摄这段视频并未经过孩子的允许，不过，孩子同意将视频上传到网上。

"This wasn't staged. This was real. I had someone record this so addicts with children can see the seriousness of our epidemic," he said. "Don't let this disease have to make someone tell your child that you're dead because of drugs."

他说：“这段视频并不是经过排练的。这是真实的。我请人帮忙录下来，以让那些吸毒的父母能看到我们的悲剧并引以为戒。不要让人告诉你的孩子，你因为吸毒死了。”
