Father weeps as 3 charged with murder in his toddler's fentanyl death at NYC day care
NBC New York ^ | 10/5 | Karen Matthews

Nicholas Dominici’s dad said he had hoped to have a photo of his son’s kindergarten graduation four years from now.

“But sadly what I have is a reminder of his death,” Otoniel Feliz said, weeping as he held up a photo of his son. The toddler died last month after he and three other young children were sickened by what officials said was exposure to fentanyl at their Bronx day care center.

Feliz joined Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark and other officials as they announced the indictments on charges including murder and manslaughter of the center's operator, her husband and the husband's cousin in Dominici's death. He was 22 months old and had spent only a few days at the Divino Niño day care center when he died on Sept. 15.

Might be considered cruel and unusual, but I think those responsible should be fed fentanyl and die the same way their victim did.

I don’t consider it cruel and unusual. Fentanyl can cause slowed breathing, reduced oxygen, and possible permanent damage to children (up to and including death).

My grown children are coming up on 18, 22, and 24. I still keep medications on the highest upper kitchen cabinet shelf out of habit. When they were young, any harmful chemicals were stored in childproof cabinets.

If this was my child, I would be bloodthirsty.

Re: "The toddler died last month after he and three other young children were sickened by what officials said was exposure to fentanyl at their Bronx day care center."

Officials said?

Is there any medical evidence for that claim?

If exposure was that easy and that lethal, I would think that young children would be dying every week in the homes of fentanyl using parents.

try to watch your own babies. Nobody loves them like you do.

God didn’t think so when He established an eye for an eye.

Oh, here’s an idea.

Watch your own kids. Popping out babies with every intention of “going back to work” two months later isn’t “parenting”. There are situations that make this impossible, but that’s a small percentage, just based on people I’ve known throughout the decades.

It’s what happens when people won’t wait until they can afford a family before they have a family.

Pure selfishness.

This one made the news because it was a daycare

You are grossly ignorant about many things. Do better

Day cares are presently running upwards of $1500 a month per child (that is at the low end of the scale around here). That's a mortgage payment just to have somebody watch your child a few hours a day just so the mother can work in the rat race.

It's a shame that being a housewife is so looked down upon by society and that women without careers are ridiculed.

A stay at home Mom is really the best way to raise a child.

***********
As an attorney that quit to stay at home with my kids, I can tell you, it is a lonely way to go. The depression is no joke. I was on Zoloft most of the time. Turns out I was married to a mean man who worked in a big law firm and came home mad. Or the law firm made him mean, I am not sure which.

So I don’t blame the women that want to work to maintain their sanity and their ability to support themselves if the marriage goes south. When my marriage went south after 23 years (my youngest was in 5th grade and my husband had an affair) I didn’t even know what things cost. It was a long road.

Now I do blame people that dislike children. I did child welfare work and those people have black stupid hearts.

I wouldn’t be shocked to learn, down the road, that they knew each other. Hey, bring your kid here to help us look legit! Very little info on the mom and dads careers that required them to use “daycare”.

Oh well, well see.

some people will never have families if they wait till they can afford them.
we were young dumb and poor but had 2 and i stayed home until they were in middle school, but then only p/t jobs while they were in school.
seemed to work for us but everybody is different.

my friend pays 800 per month but it’s with a cousin in law.
i can’t imagine “institutionalized” daycare.

The increased degree of “working from home” allows parents to work and still be parents (with help from the grandparents).

Thanks for your well reasoned comments.

Full disclosure, back in the 1990s, my wife and I put our children in day care so she could continue to work. We were being a bit selfish as we liked the lifestyle that two incomes could provide. If we could do it over again, knowing what we know now, my wife would have stayed home. Our children turned out okay but during that time, it was a blur. Our lives consisted of rushing home from work and then taking them out to restaurants to eat because we were too tired to cook at home. It would have been nicer to have a more peaceful and tranquil "traditional" household while the kids were young.

Now that we are older and the children are grown up and on their own, only I work and my wife is home all day. I like coming home where everything is done. Also, the both of us have learned to cook nutritious meals at home, that are far better and healthier than restaurant food.
