Dad of fentanyl-poisoned boy at NYC day care feared for son’s life: ‘He couldn’t walk or wake up’

A dad whose 2-year-old son narrowly avoided becoming the second casualty of a fentanyl cloud that kicked up inside a shady Bronx day care center last week said he thought the boy was going to die after being exposed to the deadly drug.
“He couldn’t walk or wake up from sleep,” Jose Lino, 32, recalled to The Post on Tuesday as he cuddled his little boy, Jaziel, at their Bronx home.
“We tried to wake him up, but he wouldn’t do it,” Lino added. “So we took him to the hospital.”
The toddler survived, but Nicholas Feliz Dominici, a 1-year-old boy who also attended the day care, died after also being exposed to the extraordinarily lethal synthetic opioid on Friday.
Two other kids under 3 years old were also struck by apparent fentanyl poisoning at the childcare center, which authorities said served as a front for a drug mill.
When asked if he was scared for his son’s life, Lino answered with an emphatic, “Hell yea!”
“When I see my son like that, I’m nervous,” Lino said, adding that Jaziel fell when he and his wife, Josselin, tried to get him to walk.

How do you feel about the baby dying? What are some of the stupidest questions I swear

[@emilyw842]

Im glad your son is ok! I jope he won't have any health issues from this. People doing this, having childcare and fentanyl deserve the death penalty.

[@NYShepherdGirl]

Never should have happened!!! People CHOOSE to do wrong/EVIL!!!

This is one reason why you secure the border.

I agree

My condolences. Glad the kiddo is doing well.

How do these immigrants afford daycare, a new York apartment, having children, ect. We couldn't afford none of that. They're not even suppost to be working.

NO parent who loves their children wants to encounter ANY SITUATION like that!!!

If a reporter has to force answers out of you its clear the parent isn't trying to talk alot at this point

The baby looks so traumatized, and scared 😢😭 I hope he doesn’t have brain damage.

Sue. You never know consequences. Afterwards, your child this and that

I think he’s so happy his son is alive. But he doesn’t realize his son might have learning disabilities later on from this overdose.

[@jaylenguadalupe7789]

I know it was a scary moment for you guys, but I really advice you to demand that agency so other kids doesn't go true the same. Yo se que fue un susto grande pero te aconsejo que demandes a la agencia para que esto no les pase a otros niños, que Dios les bendiga y siga protejiendo a tu angelito 🙏🙏

[@luqueedapace4441]

😢So scary.

[@teresajohnson4098]

And sue the state as well because the state supposed to be monitoring these places especially with the kids ......I feel so bad for the little ones having to go through this kind of stuff .... My condolences for the man who's baby didn't make it , he was a handsome baby boy.....

[@zenonthego2563]

I am happy his baby is OK> Not sure how he is so calmed after all those questions. As a mother of a two year old son, these people should get a lethal injection. They did not seem to care about those babies. Why should be even care about what happens to them? Hoping the judge who is taking this case does not fail those parents.

[@worf7680]

Bro of course he has a smoke alarm beeping

[@zizimugen4470]

If substances get legalized and controlled, there will be places for people to get their vices. A controlled amount of that substance. Away from other people. It’s more effective than prohibition.

[@l337pwnage]

It's literally a "controlled substance", lol. Ya, I'm sure making it *more available* will suddenly just make everyone responsible. 🤣

[@bailey7792]

​​​@@l337pwnage Soo should everyone not be able to consume alcohol then? Because some people cant be responsible, or are alcoholics, or crash cars, or get DUIs? Definitely not.

[@chiapets2594]

Nope

[@anacc3257]

@@bailey7792 Perhaps they shouldn't? Too late for that now though. Easier to focus on the already illegal drugs, some that are far more harmful than alcohol.

[@zizimugen4470]

@@l337pwnage calling a prohibited substance a “controlled substance,” doesn’t make it controlled.
