NYC Shelter Fentanyl Death Spurs Outrage, Debate on Safety
A four-year-old boy died in a New York City shelter after a suspected fentanyl exposure. Police responded to the child’s medical episode, administering Narcan after finding him unresponsive and with abdominal bruising. The parents acknowledged the presence of fentanyl, and while they are being questioned, the investigation is ongoing. This tragedy follows a similar incident last year where a toddler died from fentanyl exposure at a daycare, highlighting the ongoing dangers of fentanyl.
