Federal Charges Filed in Fatal Fentanyl Overdose at Bronx Day Care

The operator of a New York City day care and a relative are facing federal drug charges after a 1-year-old boy died and three other children became dangerously ill, apparently from opioids. A kilogram block of fentanyl was found stored inside the day care, along with equipment suggesting a large drug operation. The day care had recently been inspected and was appropriately licensed. The pair initially faced local murder charges, but federal drug charges have now been lodged against them. The case is proceeding, with plans to pursue a murder case against the defendants.
