Mother charged in 12-year-old girl’s fentanyl death

GREELEY, Colo. (KDVR) — A mother has been charged in connection to her 12-year-old daughter’s fentanyl-related death.

Mystique Wadena is being charged with child abuse resulting in death and distribution of a controlled substance. The Weld County District Attorney’s Office said Wadena was using and selling fentanyl out of a hotel room with her children present, which led to the 12-year-old girl’s death.

Fentanyl is replacing heroin at the southern US border While she didn’t have custody, Wadena had arranged for her three children to visit her on May 2, the night before 911 was called, investigators learned. During that visit, two of the children took some of her fentanyl pills, ultimately ending one of their lives.

FOX31 legal analyst Christopher Decker said the incident showed an “all too common and tragic story of a child getting their hands on a powerful drug that may not have been dosed properly, and a life has ended.”

Just last week, the parents of a 23-month-old girl were charged with murder after she died and was found with meth and 10 times the amount of fentanyl it takes to kill an adult in her blood. Decker said this is becoming a crisis.

“The frequency is too common. The basis here is, typically, that you are dealing with an immensely powerful drug that is not only manufactured but distributed and dosed in ways that are not consistent,” Decker said.

And with these fentanyl deaths being a recent development, the way these cases are prosecuted is consistent with other drug-related charges of this nature.

“The prosecutorial tools are not new. These are being applied in a new set of cases because these fentanyl cases are something that we didn’t see five and 10 years ago,” Decker said.

There have been discussions on legislative changes to address these types of cases by increasing penalties by naming fentanyl, but those have yet to gain momentum.

The incident showed an all too common and tragic story of a woman with loose morals with no faith in God, thinking her parents were idiots, wearing black, getting face tats, doing drugs, shaving their head, and being totally not prepared to have a kid and then allowing this child to die as a result of their stupid choices in life.

This does not happen overnight. It starts with the black fingernails, the tats, the vaping, the drinking, the staying out late. Put your foot down early parents. Laugh if you want but every tall ladder starts with the first rung. No black sneaker goth crap at 12 years old. Treat vaping or cigarettes like hard drugs and act accordingly. When your kid is on meth and getting face tats its too late.

Greeley was NOT a safe place when I lived in Fort Collins 10 years ago.
Time has not improved it.

“tragic story of a child getting their hands on a powerful drug that may not have been dosed properly”


So there’s a “proper dose” of fentanyl for 12 year old kids?

Looks like her “positive outlook” didn’t last too long. She has at least 3 children, of course one of them is now dead:
