Sheriff Bill Leeper said the 17-year-old mother wanted to put her son to sleep, so she made him a bottle.
NASSAU COUNTY, Fla. - Authorities in Florida are revealing the details about the death of a 9-month-old baby.When Sheriff Bill Leeper started his news conference, he put a baby bottle, then a pill bottle on the podium.“It’s beyond my imagination why a mother would do that to her child,” Leeper said.
He said on June 26, a 17-year-old mother was tired. She wanted to put her baby son to sleep. So she made him a bottle. “She got the baby’s bottle, filled it with formula, then went to the bathroom and found a pill bottle,” Leeper said. “She put some of what she thought was cocaine in the bottle.”The sheriff said a baby died from a fentanyl overdose from drugs his mother gave him in a bottle. “This is the actual bottle. Our narcotics unit tested the substance and found the presence of fentanyl,” Leeper said.They said the amount of fentanyl the baby had in his system would kill 10 people.
“Well, obviously, it starts in the home. It didn’t here. You have to teach your kids about the dangers of drugs,” he said. “Babies are our most vulnerable among us. They are solely dependent upon someone else for all of their needs, for everything.”
