TL;DR Summary

A 1-year-old boy died and three other children were hospitalized after showing signs of drug exposure at a day care in the Bronx. Emergency responders suspected drugs and administered Narcan to the children. The police found equipment typically used by drug dealers on the premises and are questioning a person in custody. The incident highlights the challenges of affordable child care and the ongoing opioid crisis, which contributed to about 75,000 overdose deaths in the United States last year. The cause of the child's death is still under investigation.
