Mom visited her kid at juvenile hall and brought fentanyl along, authorities say
A woman was arrested on suspicion of attempting to bring fentanyl into a Los Angeles youth facility while visiting her child, according to a release from the Los Angeles County Probation Department.
Jeny Morenoparra, 42, was initially arrested in 2023 during a visit to the Barry J. Nidorf Juvenile Hall in Sylmar after a supervising deputy probation officer found her in possession of more than 30 pills that contained fentanyl, according to an additional release from the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.
Soon after the arrest, she was released while authorities reviewed the case, the department said. In May, L.A. County Dist. Atty. Nathan Hochman said in a statement that he reopened the case and filed an arrest warrant for Morenoparra.
“Fentanyl is too dangerous a threat — 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stronger than morphine — to not treat its lethality with the seriousness and immediacy it requires,” Hochman said.
