A third person has been charged in the death of a one-year-old child who was exposed to fentanyl along with three other children at a Bronx daycare center, officials announced Monday.
The case sparked national outcry after one-year-old Nicholas Dominici died earlier this month following exposure to fentanyl at the Divino Niño daycare center. Three other children, all under the age of three, were hospitalized with serious injuries following what appeared to be the effects of fentanyl poisoning, officials said.
Law enforcement officials found large quantities of fentanyl and other drugs in hidden floor compartments and atop children’s play mats at Divino Niño, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. Also found were drug packaging materials, such as glassine envelopes stamped in red with “RED DAWN.”
