A Bronx man has been sentenced to 45 years in prison for his role in the fentanyl poisoning of four children at a daycare center. The man, who is the husband of the daycare operator, stashed fentanyl beneath the floorboards of the daycare, leading to the death of a 22-month-old boy and the poisoning of three other children. The incident, which occurred last year, has been described as 'every parent's nightmare.' The sentencing was confirmed by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
