An indictment has been brought against a man whose negligence resulted in the death of a five-month-old baby from amphetamine poisoning in 2018, a spokesman for the Csongrád-Csanád County Attorney General’s Office said on Monday.
According to Ferenc Szanka, the man is accused of involuntary manslaughter committed through negligence and of committing drug trafficking as a repeat offense.
According to the indictment, the man’s partner has been using drugs since he was a teenager, but the woman stopped using drugs during her third pregnancy, writes MTI. However, after the girl was two months old, she stopped breastfeeding and became a regular drug user again, and her partner gave her medication.
Two years ago, in the early afternoon of January 18, the couple stayed with the girl in a hotel in a town near Szeged, where they took the drugs they had taken. In the afternoon, the accused and his partner inadvertently left the drug containing powdered amphetamines in a place where
the drug entered the mouth and then the body of the five-month-old baby.
A short time later, the little girl fell asleep and woke up crying a few hours later, but the accused, who was already under the influence of amphetamines, and her partner had put her back to sleep.
The baby died shortly before midnight due to drug-induced respiratory failure. The mother and her partner only noticed around one o’clock that the child was not breathing, an ambulance was called, but the outgoing doctor could only determine death.
The mother was charged last fall with wrongful death and drug possession offenses, her partner was on the run at the time, but was later arrested, the group’s prosecutor said.
