A parent says his 10-month-old child barely survived ingesting fentanyl at a popular San Francisco park.
The San Francisco Police Department confirmed they are investigating the cause of the medical emergency. The fire department said they couldn't confirm the claim of the baby ingesting fentanyl at the park and added:
"We responded to Moscone Park for a pediatric patient in cardiac arrest. San Francisco Fire and Paramedics arrived on scene in 2 minutes, provided life-saving measures and revived the patient.""I'm a mother myself and I would say just to be very cautious and to look around and to know that we are doing everything in District 2. We are responding with police presence and have rec and parks respond in the way they can," Stefani said.
When asked what Stefani's office is going to do about this, she responded: "What I have been doing is making sure that we are not just engaging in harm reduction but that people have paths to recovery. The whole purpose of harm reduction is to make sure that the addict gets sick from a dirty needle. But if our focus on harm reduction is actually potentially harming others we need to reevaluate that.
"It's horrible. It makes me just reconsider staying in San Francisco and if we should move," said parent Alexis St. George."On 11/29/22 at approximately 10:16 p.m., San Francisco Police officers from Northern Station responded to a local hospital for a report of male infant that had undergone a medical emergency. Officers met with the witness who was with the child at Moscone Recreational Park at approximately 2:30 p.m., when the medical emergency occurred.
