Tragic Fentanyl Death at Bronx Daycare Sends Shockwaves

A one-year-old child died from a suspected drug overdose at a nursery in New York, where three other children were also exposed to fentanyl. Police found a kilogram of fentanyl hidden under a nap mat at the daycare center. Two individuals, including the nursery owner and her tenant, are facing federal charges related to narcotics possession and distribution resulting in death. The drugs recovered from the nursery could have potentially killed 500,000 people. Fentanyl, a powerful synthetic painkiller, has been linked to a rise in drug-related deaths in the US. Authorities are still searching for the nursery owner's husband, who is considered a co-conspirator.
