It is very countless that alot of newborn have died in the hands of white people either as parents or white  legal guardians. In almost everyday, we encounter this insane and horrible news. 

Two Nevada parents have been arrested on suspicion of second-degree murder after an 8-month-old child died from exposure to fentanyl and methamphetamine last year, police said.

Authorities had responded on Nov. 15, 2022, to a report of an unresponsive infant who was not breathing, police said in a news release issued Thursday.

Emergency responders took the infant to St. Rose Siena Hospital in Henderson, where the child was pronounced dead.

An autopsy report determined the cause of death was "a result of fentanyl toxicity," according to Boulder City Police. "Recent methamphetamine exposure" was listed as a significant condition.

Detectives interviewed the infant's parents and learned the father, identified as 36-year-old Jeffrey Terakami, spilled a bag of fentanyl mixed with meth into their bed. He and the mother, 31-year-old Kara Marie Dugan, then allowed the infant to crawl around the bed, exposing the child to the drug mixture.

Police arrested Terakami and Dugan on June 16 on warrants for second-degree murder, saying the charges are based on "making available a controlled substance resulting in death."

Court records show criminal complaints have been filed against both parents. They are being held at Clark County Detention Center, and preliminary hearings are scheduled for July 18
