US child deaths involving fentanyl intoxication
Overview
Legal proceedings have emerged in separate cases involving the deaths of young children due to fentanyl intoxication in the United States.
In Oak Harbor, Jessica Kido pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter, possession of fentanyl with intent to deliver, and unlawful firearm possession. The charges follow the May death of a 2-year-old boy from acute fentanyl intoxication. Prosecutors and defense have recommended a prison sentence of 10 years and five months.
In Dorchester, Dayanna Familia has been arraigned on manslaughter charges following the August death of her four-year-old daughter. Prosecutors allege Familia was aware the child’s illness was caused by the drug and claim body camera footage shows her attempting to “conceal and destroy a white powder believed to be fentanyl.” Familia has pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail.
