A Maryland mother was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the death of her 2-year-old daughter, who had ingested fentanyl, according to the Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Tiffany Lynee Carr, 35, pleaded guilty to first-degree child abuse in the death of her daughter Nevaeh. Carr was also ordered to serve five years of supervised probation after her release and undergo substance abuse evaluations, treatment, and mental health evaluations.
“To say this is a tragedy is an understatement,” Anne Arundel County State’s Attorney Anne Colt Leitess said. “Sadly, not a single person was in the courtroom today to speak on behalf of this child because there was no one else she could count on other than her mother.
