Mother Accused of Giving Baby Methadone Hit with $900,000 Lawsuit
Magan Michelle McDermott was recently criminally accused of “doping her 5-month-old baby with methadone, reportedly in an effort to get him to sleep.” As a result, she is now facing a $900,000 lawsuit, which was filed on behalf of her deceased son. The suit itself was filed last week and also seeks to stop McDermott from collecting a “$130,000 pending payment from the state for the death of her 15-year-old daughter, Gloria Joya.”
