The tragic death of a North Texas toddler is being linked to the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl, and her father and aunt are being blamed for not seeking help…
Mansfield police say instead of safeguarding his daughter from drugs in his home, Michael Ray Reed, 26, responded to the possible overdose by Googling 'how to make a two-year-old throw up' and sought an opioid-reversal drug on 'Door Dash.'
The sweet child’s endless possibilities were tragically dashed during a February visit to her father’s home in Mansfield.Her father, Michael Reed, is charged in the toddler’s death. Responding officers reportedly noticed the apartment appeared to be dirty and had a strong odor of marijuana. At some point, all three adults realized the girl was suffering from a possible drug overdose and failed to call 911, according to the arrest warrants.
Police say during their investigation of Google searches and other evidence, approximately two hours passed without 911 being called."She was on a ventilator for ten days and on the 28th, they pronounced her braindead and took her off " said Wallace. While Wallace is sure Reed loved his daughter, she wants him and Popovic to be sentenced to jail to think about what they’ve done.
