Authorities in Pennsylvania have arraigned a mom for sending her teen daughters to sell drug pills after the arrest of her boyfriend last October.
Suleyka Santiago, 34, took over the drug business based on counterfeit Oxycodone pills laced with fentanyl.
An informant contacted her in June to buy 30 mg of the pills and both arranged to meet at a parking lot.
But when the informant arrived and entered Santiago’s car, he found two female teenagers instead of the mom.
“Inside the vehicle, Santiago’s 12-year-old and 14-year-old daughters sold the confidential informant the drugs,” prosecutors said.
“One of the daughters took the money from the CI, and the other provided him/her with the pills. Santiago was inside the establishment at the time.”
The informant contacted the mom again later that same month but she was personally there for the deal.
Santiago faces a slew of charges including solicitation of minors to traffic drugs, endangering the welfare of children, and possession with the intent to deliver.
