Bereaved parents gather in San Bernardino to demand stiffer penalties in fentanyl-related deaths [San Bernardino County Sun, Calif.]
Dec. 10 They stood on the steps outside the San Bernardino Police Department on Wednesday, Dec. 9, the parents of children whose lives were cut short by a cheap synthetic opiod called fentanyl, demanding stiffer penalties for dealers who sold their children the drug.
They held signs saying, “Why are drug dealers getting away with murder?” “Re-activate investigations on street drug poisonings,” and “Forgotten victims of drug induced homicide. We will not be silenced!”
Among them was retired San Bernardino police Sgt. Steve Filson, whose 29-year-old daughter, Jessica Filson, and her boyfriend, Nicholas Castillo, 30, were found dead in her Redlands home on Jan. 22, 2020. The couple thought they had ingested cocaine.
