Charges: Baby Died From Drinking Heroin-Laced Bottle


It’s a grim time for children in the region. One child was killed and other badly injured in a weekend stabbing attack in Camden; that came just days after a Camden mother killed her toddler, then herself, in a gruesome murder-suicide. Now there’s news that charges have been brought against a Philadelphia man, Orlando Rosado, who let his 11-month-old son drink from a baby bottle that contained trace amounts of heroin and methadone: The child died in his arms on May 11. Prosecutors say they don’t think the death was intentional, but Rosado is now charged with third-degree murder. [CBS News]
