"To Put to Sleep"... American Teenage Mom Puts Drugs in Newborn's Baby Bottle

Lethal Dose of Fentanyl Detected in Deceased Baby's Bottle
Sheriff: "This Is Not Normal... A Horrific Incident Has Occurred"

A shocking incident occurred in the United States where a teenage mother mixed so-called 'zombie drugs' into the formula of her 9-month-old son, leading to his death. She confessed that she did this to put the child to sleep quickly.

According to CBS News on the 12th (local time), Bill Leeper, Sheriff of Nassau County, Florida, recently arrested a 17-year-old woman identified as A on charges of murder and drug possession.

This is unrelated to specific expressions within the article.

Investigations revealed that A added the narcotic substance fentanyl to the baby bottle containing formula to put the baby to sleep early. She stated, "I thought fentanyl was cocaine." When authorities analyzed the contents of the bottle, they found an amount of fentanyl sufficient to kill 10 adults.

After being fed from the bottle, the baby lost consciousness and was found lying in the living room, already not breathing at the time of discovery. Rescue authorities performed CPR on the baby and transported him to the hospital, but he was ultimately pronounced dead.

At a press conference, the sheriff held up the baby bottle and said, "We received a report from the examiner that fentanyl was found in the baby's blood, and the cause of death was fentanyl overdose."

He added, "How can a mother give fentanyl to her child? This is not normal, it is truly a horrific act," condemning the incident.

Meanwhile, fentanyl addiction in the United States has become a widespread social problem. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), from May 2020 to April 2021, approximately 100,000 people died from drug overdoses in the U.S., and 80% of these deaths were due to fentanyl addiction.

In the U.S., fentanyl is known as the so-called 'zombie drug.' Addicts who take this drug lose consciousness and stagger like zombies in movies.

For example, Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is home to 8,000 to 10,000 fentanyl addicts and is nicknamed 'Zombie Street.' These individuals use narcotics 20 to 50 times a day on average and reportedly carry fentanyl in containers holding as many as 100 doses.
