Pittsburgh Mom Sentenced in Death of Toddler Daughter

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A Pittsburgh mom has been sentenced in the death of her toddler daughter, which authorities say was due to the narcotic fentanyl found in the child’s pink sippy cup. Jhenea Pratt was sentenced Wednesday to five to 10 years in state prison. The 24-year-old Pratt was convicted in June of involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment. Two sippy cups were seized from Pratt’s apartment, one of which tested positive for fentanyl. Pratt said she had “no clue” how the drug ended up in the cup.
