Children younger than five, particularly infants and toddlers, are increasingly at risk for accidental exposure to fentanyl. With increased exposure in the home in many cases, deaths across the United States are on the rise.
The Gateway Pundit spoke to Derek Maltz, a former head of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) Special Operations Division. In May, Maltz also stepped down as Acting Administrator of the DEA.
On August 18, Maltz posted on X:
Decimating the Mexican "Terror" Cartels ability to operate with all tools of national power should be a top priority to ensure the security of America, but WE ALSO NEED TO EDUCATE EVERY YOUNG AMERICAN ON THE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES OF THE ONGOING CHEMICAL ATTACK USING SYNTHETIC DRUGS. The demand for illicit drugs is out of control and sadly the adversaries are taking total advantage. We are losing a future generation.
After a career spanning over two decades and recently serving as the DEA’s Acting Administrator, it is very clear Maltz remains committed to educating the public and raising awareness about the risks associated with many harmful substances, especially fentanyl and other deadly synthetic opioids.
Fentanyl poisonings are “not just a drug addiction issue,” Maltz pointed out. “American kids are being deceived to death. They are turning to drugs for help [with anxiety or depression, for example], but the illicit drug supply is tainted.”
The deaths are not limited to teenagers or adults who are illegally using fentanyl. “Infants are dying at record levels, and they’re deaths show that this doesn’t just affect those with a substance use disorder or opioid use disorder,” he explained.
“All of this is an attack on our future generations, so the United States has to up its game in the fight [to save not only the addicts, but also the innocent],” said Maltz. “There are so many kids inadvertently getting in contact with these deadly substances, and then they’re putting their hands in their mouth and they’re dying,” he lamented.
“Parents or loved ones are reluctant to talk about it because it’s devastating,” he shared. However, an increasing number of individuals are publicly posting pictures of the innocent lives that were taken from babies and toddlers. Here’s a very small collection of heart wrenching examples:

The United States simply cannot let its guard down, the former DEA exec contended. “Chemicals like Protonitazene and Metonitazene (synthetic opioids) are coming in to be combined with other drugs—and they’re deadly.”
Other concerns include the popularity of Carfentanil, a potent synthetic opioid stronger than fentanyl, as well as the illicit supply of Xylazine (“zombie drug”) from laboratories in China. “The other thing that’s super concerning is the marijuana grow operations led by the Chinese nationals that are in our country, [as] they’re spraying the crops with pesticides and along with the high THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) levels, causing some major issues in the brains of our citizens.”
“We have to continue educating Americans, raising awareness for all ages, and keep removing the cartels, traffickers, and poisons from our country,” Maltz concluded.
