A toddler is dead and multiple others were rushed to the hospital after a fentanyl exposure incident at a daycare in New York City.
According to multiple media reports, last Friday, the NYPD and paramedics were called to Divino Niño Daycare, which was being run out of an apartment in the Bronx. Once there, first responders found multiple young children suffering from severe symptoms related to opioid exposure.
The first paramedics on the scene administered Narcan to at least three children — an 8-month-old girl, a 1-year-old boy, and a 2-year-old boy. Thankfully, the girl and the older boy survived after they were rushed to the hospital. Sadly, the 1-year-old boy later died at the hospital. He has sine been identified as Nicholas Dominici.

Per the New York Times, Dominici’s mother only learned of the situation when she arrived at the daycare later to pick up Nicholas at the end of the day. Police on scene told her that the child had been taken to the hospital. There, she was informed of his tragic death. The boy had apparently only started daycare at Divino Niño a week before the incident.
So awful.
According to police, a fourth child may also have been exposed to fentanyl or a related opioid at the daycare earlier that day. In the middle of the day, hours before police arrived were called, a child was “removed” from the center and sent home. Once at home, the child’s mother noticed he was being “lethargic and unresponsive,” according to NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny via the NYT. That child was separately rushed to the hospital, given Narcan, and “his life was saved.” OMG…
