Mother Charged with Manslaughter in Meth Juice Death

Heather Opsincs, a Florida mother, has been charged with aggravated manslaughter after her 5-year-old son died from ingesting methamphetamine hidden in an apple juice bottle. On March 23, police were called to a hotel in Riviera Beach, where the child was found unresponsive and later died at the hospital. The boy reportedly spat out the juice, saying it tasted weird, and soon after began to exhibit severe symptoms such as shivering, shaking, and vomiting. Opsincs allegedly waited an hour before calling for medical help. Investigators found meth pipes and drug paraphernalia in her hotel room and confirmed that both Opsincs and her son tested positive for methamphetamine. Opsincs' bond was set at $100,000, and she remains in custody with her next court appearance scheduled for April 22.
