Irving Police Officer Robert Reaves says it's another example of why parents need to diligently monitor their kids' social media activity.

Reaves says undercover officers were able to conduct 14 buys of drugs, including cocaine, meth, and LSD from Rosas. Even after Rosas was arrested, he contacted his co-conspirators over the phone and instructed them how to continue the operation.

All co-conspirators pleaded guilty; two have been sentenced and the third will be sentenced later this month.
