<\/a>\r\nBreaking News \u2013 at least one child has tested positive for fentanyl after three kids allegedly ingested mystery pills at a daycare in Victorville, California. The incident occurred Tuesday, March 18. 2025, at La Petite Academy located at 14040 Bear Valley Road.<\/p>\r\n
According to reports, the daycare staff located the unknown blue pills and called the local authorities. The responding deputy recognized the pills, which had \u201cM30\u201d imprinted on them, as potential counterfeit pills that may contain fentanyl.<\/p>\r\n
Staff reviewed surveillance footage and identified three children that appeared to have ingested the pills. The three children, along with two daycare staff members, were hospitalized, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff\u2019s Department. At least one child tested positive for fentanyl.<\/p>\r\n
The sheriff\u2019s department is urging any additional victims or anyone with information on the incident to come forward. Callers can contact the sheriff\u2019s department directly or, if they want to remain anonymous, through the We-Tip Hotline or the We-Tip webpage.<\/p>\r\n
Unfortunately, incidents like this happen quite often. Children gain access to dangerous substances at home and unknowingly bring them to school. Similarly, staff may bring dangerous substances into the daycare, which can lead to children being exposed to the substances. Whatever the case, it is important to understand potential liability surrounding these incidents.<\/p>\r\n

Over the years, fentanyl and other synthetic opioids have become the most common drugs in overdose deaths. Illegal fentanyl is sold as a powder and it is often mixed with other drugs, including heroin, cocaine, meth, and MDMA. The problem is that many times, the person who is using the drugs is unaware that their drugs contain fentanyl, resulting in overdose. In fact, a dose as small as just two milligrams can be fatal.<\/p>\r\nWarning Signs of Fentanyl Present in Children<\/span>\r\n
A child who has ingested fentanyl may present some of the following symptoms:<\/p>\r\n
- \r\n
- Drowsiness<\/li>\r\n
- Loss of consciousness<\/li>\r\n
- Confusion<\/li>\r\n
- Difficulty breathing<\/li>\r\n
- Small pupils<\/li>\r\n
- And more<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nHow Children Access Fentanyl Pills or Fentanyl-Laced Pills<\/span>\r\n
When children get their hands on any drug, including fentanyl, there could be disastrous consequences. So, how can children possibly get their hands on such dangerous substances? Some children find the drugs outside; pills are often colored and look like candy to young children. A child that finds what looks like candy on the floor outside can bring the substance to daycare centers to try to share with their friends. Similarly, a child that finds what they think is candy at home or at the daycare center may take the \u201ccandy\u201d to their friends to share. Children are naturally curious, so it is the responsibility of the adults around them to keep them safe.<\/p>\r\nAbout Liability for These Incidents <\/span>\r\n
Of course, day care staff could be liable for failing to identify and address hazards on their premises. The day care owner could also be liable if day care staff brought the drugs into the premises. In cases in which the child brought the drugs from home, the parents or guardians of the child could face liability, although the day care could also be liable for failing to identify the drugs before they were shared.<\/p>\r\n
To summarize, if a child suffered harm due to exposure to fentanyl, parents could have the right to file a lawsuit. To ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the legal options available to you and your right to sue, contact the experts here at our law firm at your earliest convenience.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
