Account Closed STR Hosts Sued For Baby's Fentanyl Death

Quote from @Scott Mac: You would think if there was this killer drug present at the previous night's party, the Dope Fiends would have been taken out on stretchers to the morgue the night before.No previous night deceased Dope Fiends--probably not from the night before....could have been from any night.Maybe the Mother could have watched the child better--but maybe not, who knows.Poor kid.Many are killed in their first usage, those who go into partying and selling the stuff usually are not new to the drug(s) and have built up a slight resistance.Those who have never been exposed or are without a history of drug usage are very much at risk.I don't know how house cleaners can be so good as to get everything that drops into a rug, which is where I would guess the baby got exposed.It's very sad and affects us all by association.
