"I think a lot of parents are in denial, 'not my child,' and I'm here to tell you that it could be your child," Harden said.
Chloe was born and raised in Los Gatos. Her mother said she was funny and caring. She had a passion for saving animals.
When Chloe was 12 years old, the unexpected death of her father hit her hard so she tried to numb the pain.
"You know sadly she started self-medicating with marijuana and that progressed to prescription pills that she obtained through her friends from parents form unlocked medicine cabinets," Harden said.

Chloe started taking Xanax and eventually became addicted to Percocets. By age 15, Harden said Chloe was getting prescription drugs online.
"Through social media, Instagram, Snapchat. It was really easy for her to get and these drug dealers even delivered to our home," Harden said.
As a parent, Harden said she was naive to Snapchat and Instagram. Her daughter was linking up with people.
"A lot of the dealers after their Instagram name they have little emojis...and each emoji is for a different drug and that indicates what type of drugs that they're selling," Harden said.
Chloe went through counseling, a drug treatment program three times, and occasionally got her phone taken away. Despite those efforts, Chloe found a way.

"Lots of times, people that don't know the dangers of fentanyl think people like Chloe go out and intentionally try to get fentanyl, and that's not the case here," Harden said.
The day Chloe passed away Harden said she ordered a Percocet through social media- it was laced with fentanyl.
"I received a phone call from her boyfriend saying he had found Chloe unresponsive and that he had called 911. And I felt paralyzed," Harden said.
Chloe was on life support for three days. Blood work revealed she had fentanyl in her system.
"That's when the reality sunk in. That she was poisoned," Harden said.
Now Harden hopes she can educate as many parents as she can.
"People are dying and they're not necessarily drug addicts or it could just take one time. One pill. One pill can kill," Harden said.
