Two suspects charged with murder in death of 1-year-old following alleged fentanyl exposure at NYC day care
    #28473367 - 09/18/23 06:21 AM (4 months, 7 days ago)

Horrible. Home day care but fully licensed and inspected. - V


Police arrested Carlisto Acevedo Brito, 41, and Grei Mendez, 36, after a 1-year-old boy died and three other children were hospitalized because of suspected fentanyl exposure.

A man and a woman have been arrested on murder charges after a 1-year-old died and three other children were hospitalized following suspected exposure to opioids at a Bronx day care center Friday, police said.

In addition to the murder charges, Carlisto Acevedo Brito, 41, and Grei Mendez, 36, were arrested Saturday night on multiple counts of manslaughter, assault, criminal possession of a controlled substance and narcotic drug and endangering the welfare of a child after Nicholas Dominici died and three other kids were hospitalized after being exposed to fentanyl at the day care center.

Brito and Mendez's relationship to the day care center was not immediately apparent, and police did not immediately respond to a question seeking clarification.

It was also not immediately clear whether Brito and Mendez have lawyers who could speak on their behalf.

A spokesperson for the New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner said Nicholas's cause and manner of death was under investigation.

Police said the 911 call came in just after 2:40 p.m. on Friday. Officers discovered Dominici unconscious and unresponsive, and he was pronounced dead at Montefiore Medical Center upon arrival.

Officers also found an unconscious 2-year-old boy and an 8-month-old girl, who were also transported to Montefiore; the boy is in critical condition and the girl is stable, police said.

A third child, a 2-year-old boy, was also hospitalized at BronxCare Health System, where he is in stable condition, police said.

New York Police Department Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters that the third child's mother took him to the hospital herself after picking him up from the day care center around 12:15 p.m. that day and noticing that he was "acting lethargic and unresponsive" once they returned home. At the hospital, staff administered Narcan, the opioid overdose antidote, to save the boy's life, Kenny said.

Kenny said hat first responders also administered Narcan to the three children who they found at the day care center

The day care center was licensed by the state and was last inspected by officials with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene on Sept. 9, according to Kenny and Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Commissioner Ashwin Vasan, who said that no violations were found at that time, and that it was a surprise inspection that the day care officials did not have advance notice of.

Vasan said that the day care center was a home-based center that opened in January, and that it had had two routine inspections early on to secure its license.

The investigation is ongoing, Kenny added.

Mayor Eric Adams called the tragedy "a real wake-up call to individuals who have opioids or fentanyl in their homes."

“The mere contact is deadly for an adult, and is extremely deadly for a child," he said.

A study published earlier this year in the journal Pediatrics found that opioids were the most common substance contributing to the poisoning deaths of children ages 5 and younger, accounting for more than 47% of the poisoning deaths among children in that age group between 2005 and 2018, or 346 of 731 total deaths reported to the National Center for Fatality Review and Prevention. The study's lead author said that signs of opioid poisoning in young children include slow and shallow breathing, contracted pupils and appearing unresponsive or limp.

Narcan became available over-the-counter earlier this month, in a move that advocates hope will help stymie the country's worsening opioid epidemic, which led to more than 107,000 overdose deaths — an all-time high — in 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

What does your post even mean? Day cares don't normally teach much that's up to the school system or your parents. 1 and 2 year olds cant be independent. They need parents or adults to guide them. And obviously everyone's parents left them with strangers when we had to go to school as teachers are all strangers for the most part.

But I saw this story and good that they're being charged. 1 kid dead and a few others od'd. In the article I read that said that when they searched the building they found a kilo press so it sounds to me like they were getting kilos of fent cutting them and repacking them in kilo amounts. There's gotta be a better place to do that then a daycare. Sad article.

Private child care licensed and inspected by the state.

Can't you babysit or learn to read, independently.

Stashing a bag under a mat kids sleep on is pretty fucked. This story makes me angry


Nicholas Dominici was due to turn two in November

A kilogram of fentanyl was found under a nap mat at a nursery in New York City where one child died and three others were taken to hospital, police say.

Nicholas Dominici, one, who had been at the nursery for just a week, died of a suspected drug overdose on Friday.

Three other children were admitted to hospital after being exposed to the powerful narcotic at the daycare centre in the Bronx.

Drug conspiracy and murder charges have been filed against two people.

Police believe the children, ranging in age from eight months to two years old, inhaled fentanyl at the nursery.

Three children were given Narcan, an emergency medication used to reverse opioid overdoses.

A search of the nursery turned up one kilo of fentanyl that was discovered "underneath a mat where the children had been sleeping earlier", said NYPD chief detective Joseph Kenny on Monday.

Investigators also allegedly discovered three presses used to package kilos of drugs.

The owner of the Divino Niño nursery in the Bronx, Grei Mendez, 36, and her tenant, Carlisto Acevedo Brito, 41, are facing federal charges of narcotics possession "with intent to distribute resulting in death and conspiracy to distribute narcotics resulting in death", according to federal prosecutors.

"We allege the defendants poisoned four babies, and killed one of them, because they were running a drug operation from a daycare centre," Manhattan US Attorney Damien Williams said on Tuesday.

"A daycare centre - a place where children should be kept safe, not surrounded by a drug that can kill them in an instant."

Police say the drugs recovered from the nursery could have killed 500,000 people.

Fentanyl, a synthetic painkiller 50 times more powerful than heroin, has been blamed for a rise in US drug deaths.

Surveillance footage and phone records show that Ms Mendez called her husband after finding the children ill - before she contacted 911. Her husband then arrived and removed several full shopping bags from the nursery, officials said.

Authorities are still searching for her husband, who has been identified in court documents as a co-conspirator.

A lawyer for Ms Mendez said his client denies the charges and was unaware that drugs were being kept in the nursery.

"Her only crime was renting her room to someone who had a kilo," said her attorney, Andres Aranda, according to ABC News.

"There is no evidence that she did anything but care properly for these children."

A Trap Door Hid a Cache of Narcotics at the Day Care Where a Child Died
www.nytimes.com

Days after a 1-year-old died and three children exposed to drugs at a Bronx day care site were hospitalized, investigators uncovered a trap door under a play area that was concealing fentanyl, other narcotics and drug paraphernalia.

The police had already discovered a kilogram of fentanyl near nap mats at Divino Niño on Morris Avenue, but the new search was triggered by a tip that more drugs had been hidden, Lieutenant John Russo said on Thursday. A neighbor had said last week that the owners of the facility had spent months sprucing it up — including laying down new floors.

On Saturday, the day care program’s operator, Grei Mendez, and a tenant, Carlisto Acevedo Brito, who lived in the apartment, were both arrested and charged with murder in the death of the toddler, Nicholas Feliz Dominici, as well as criminal possession of drugs and other related charges. In addition to the kilogram, the police had already recovered two so-called kilo presses used by drug dealers to package large quantities of drugs.

As of Thursday afternoon, the medical examiner’s office had not made an official determination of the cause of Nicholas’s death following an autopsy on Saturday. Fentanyl was found in the systems of the three children who were sickened.

The day care site, in the north Bronx, is among the areas hardest hit by fatal overdoses in the city. There were 2,668 fatal overdoses in the city in 2021, reaching “unprecedented levels,” according to data released this year. The increase was driven by fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that was involved in 80 percent of overdose deaths that year, and residents of the Bronx had the highest rate, the city found.

Ms. Mendez, a citizen of the Dominican Republic who has lived in the United States for nine years, and Mr. Acevedo Brito are also facing federal charges of one count of possession with intent to distribute narcotics resulting in death and one count of conspiracy. The police are still searching for a third person wanted in the case, Lieutenant Russo said on Thursday.

Ms. Mendez was renting a room to Mr. Acevedo Brito, who is her husband’s cousin, for $200 a week, her lawyer, Andres Aranda, said during her arraignment in Bronx Criminal Court on Sunday, adding that there was no indication she knew anything about the drugs.

“Her only crime is renting a room,” he said.

Federal prosecutors said that Ms. Mendez called her husband twice before calling 911. A federal criminal complaint said that before emergency personnel arrived, the husband entered the apartment empty-handed and left about two minutes later carrying two shopping bags weighed down by their contents.

On Thursday, members of the Police Department’s crime scene unit had taped off the area. Children played on the sidewalk and stood by the apartment building, where candles, flowers and a teddy bear were left outside the front door. Investigators in white hazmat suits and industrial-grade masks entered the building and walked out hauling brown evidence bags.

The tip the police received gave specific instructions on where to find the trap door and how to access it, Lieutenant Russo said. A photo released by the police showed a storage compartment about four feet by six feet under a splintered wooden door. Large, clear storage bags filled with narcotics, as well as red Target shopping bags, were visible in the cache under a gray linoleum floor. A shelf holding toys was nearby.

Officials said the day care program was licensed in May to serve up to eight children at a time by the state’s Office of Children and Family Services after passing two inspections. In addition, a surprise inspection this month found no violations.

Investigators this week said they were working with federal authorities to determine whether Divino Niño was a front for a drug operation.

Silvia Leal, 65, who has lived in the Bronx for 30 years and operated a day care program before retiring, said she found the situation suspicious.

“For someone to open a day care in the United States you have to take classes, there is paperwork, your fingerprints get lifted, you have to have start-up capital and there are a lot of details and requirements,” she said. “For her to open a day care so quickly in this neighborhood, someone had to have given her money.

“They were using that day care to cover something up,” she said.

Unfortunately for Nicholas and the three hospitalized, state intervention was not useful or necessary.

One might presume that the caretaker was neither related to the victims' families, nor shared their values. We are not accustomed to progress, but to change agents.
