A Florida mother, Heather Fawn Opsincs, faces manslaughter charges after her son died from consuming apple juice contaminated with methamphetamine. The 5-year-old initially complained the juice tasted strange before suffering severe physical distress, including seizures and breathing difficulties. Upon arrival, Opisncs misjudged her son's condition, believing it to be an allergic reaction. Investigations revealed a hazardous living environment littered with drug paraphernalia, and Opsincs tested positive for meth twice. She has been arrested and is awaiting court proceedings, with authorities emphasizing the mother’s negligence in both drug exposure and her home conditions.
Her negligence exposed (the child) to dangerous drugs and an inhabitable environment that caused his death, police wrote in court documents.
The boy was rushed to Saint Mary's Medical Center, where he died. He was found covered in bruises - including a fresh one over his left eye.
