Washington's fentanyl blind spot: why child endangerment cases fall short
After a toddler died from fentanyl overdose and five adults were arrested but only charged with a gross misdemeanor, King County prosecutors are calling for changes to state law. Current legislation allows for felony charges in child endangerment cases involving methamphetamine, but not fentanyl, leaving children exposed to the deadly opioid with less legal protection. State Representative Lauren Davis stopped by Fox 13 to discuss why the legislature has not yet updated this critical law.
