| [NYPOST] A 2-year-old Kentucky boy died after consuming fentanyl his mother bought using her stimulus check, police said. Lauren Ashley Baker, 33, admitted to cops in Ludlow Thursday that she got the highly addictive synthetic opioid last weekend in Cincinnati while using funds from her stimulus check, WXIX reported. After getting the highly addictive drug — up to 100 times more potent than morphine — Baker said she brought it back to Ludlow, where she shared it with two other people, a police report shows. She then said she "took a shot" of fentanyl sometime Thursday before falling asleep. Her 2-year-old son then ate some of the drug, which was in her purse, as she dozed away, police said. Baker later awoke to find her purse emptied out and her son not breathing. The boy’s father, who was not identified, called cops when he got home, according to the police report. Cops found the boy in respiratory arrest when they arrived at the residence. He was rushed to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. He's dead, Jim! Sherlocks said. A substance believed to be fentanyl was discovered scattered across a bed inside the residence, as well as empty packaging for Narcan, a drug designed to block the effects of opioids, according to the police report. Baker, who is facing charges of murder, importing fentanyl and trafficking of a controlled substance, remains held without bond at the Kenton County Detention Center, records show. |

| #2 Securing the border with Mexico might well reduce the incidence of such tragedies. But you can't expect a government that uses taxpayer dollars to pay for women to have abortions with no questions asked to be concerned about a few innocent toddlers eating fentanyl. |
