Quick Summary

Dayanna Familia, a 35-year-old mother from Boston, was arraigned on charges related to the death of her four-year-old daughter, Liyanna, who died of fentanyl poisoning in August. When EMS arrived at their home, Familia allegedly told them that the girl had “drunk milk” and possibly gotten into a roach trap when she turned blue, despite knowing about the fentanyl involvement. Police found evidence of fentanyl during a search warrant executed at her residence. At the arraignment, Familia pleaded not guilty but was held on $250,000 bail.
