A one-year-old girl in Santa Rosa is recovering from a fentanyl overdose, while her mother has been arrested and is now facing felony charges. The incident took place around 5:15 AM on Tuesday in the Lead Street area. Authorities received reports of a medical emergency involving a toddler, who was discovered unconscious and not breathing on the floor.
Upon arrival, officers found that a bystander had already initiated CPR on the child. They immediately took over and successfully revived the toddler's breathing before she was taken to the hospital. The child is expected to make a full recovery.
Detectives investigated the incident and concluded that the toddler had overdosed on fentanyl due to her 39-year-old mother's negligence. The mother is currently being detained at Sonoma County Jail on child abuse charges with serious injury. This is the third fentanyl-related overdose involving a child in Santa Rosa within the past year.
KRON4's Michael Thomas is closely following the story and will provide further updates on the one-year-old girl's condition as they become available. Authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding this tragic event.
This case serves as a grave reminder of the dangers associated with fentanyl exposure, especially for young children. It underscores the crucial need to securely store such substances and keep them out of reach.
