She reminds me of the other piece of white trash, psycho, Susan Smith!

COLLINGDALE, Pa. - November 8, 2012 (WPVI) -- Police say a Delaware County baby's death this summer was caused by heroin he ingested.

Collingdale police say the July 15th death of Niccolo Varner was the result of acute heroin intoxication. Police and Delaware County prosecutors say the death is under investigation.

Niccolo died after paramedics were called to his home for a report of a child in respiratory distress.

No charges were filed at the time of Varner's death. The boy was at home with his parents, a sibling and a house guest when he was stricken.

At the time, a source told Action News that heroin paraphrenalia was found in the home.

Niccolo's mother spoke to Action News shortly after his death.

"He was the best. He was a good kid! He was the best baby in the world," said Christina Rivera back on July 15th.

"When I went to pick him up, his chest was wet and his chest was blue. So I grabbed him out and started screaming for my husband," she said.

They attempted CPR, but Niccolo was gone.

"Babies don't just die," said Rivera at the time. "He was a very healthy baby. He was running around playing yesterday having fun."

*Babies don't do drugs either!*

*UPDATE - Mom Charged With Murder in Baby's Heroin Death*

The mother of an 11-month-old who died after ingesting heroin has been charged with murder, authorities announced Friday.

The Delaware County Medical Examiner's Office determined Tuesday that Niccolo Varner died from ingesting heroin on July 15.

Paramedics were called to his Lincoln Avenue home and he was rushed to Fitzgerald Mercy Hospital, but police say the baby had died long before ever being taken to the hospital.

The boy's mother, Christine Rivero, is now charged with third-degree murder, criminal homicide, reckless endangerment of a child and aggravated assault in connection with her son's death, Delaware County District Attorney Jack Whelan said at Friday's press conference.

Authorities said Friday that Rivero put Niccolo in a tub with his 5-year-old brother and left the bathroom to go outside and do heroin with her friends.

During that time, police said, Niccolo ingested the heroin.

"We don't know how the child received such a large amount of heroin in the child's system. We can only conclude that it was either given to the child or the child consumed it on his own by somehow accessing heroin on the premises," Whelan said. "We don't have that information at this point in time ... We can not determine if the child was given heroin by his mother."

Police say that the baby fell and hit his head while in the tub and they were surprised to learn from the toxicology report that he had died from heroin ingestion and not drowning.

The children's father, Victor Varner, was asleep in the house at the time of the incident. After extensive interviews, police determined that Victor is not to blame for his son's death.

He was granted sole custody of the couple's 5-year-old son.

Rivero's bail is set at $1 million.

The article doesn't seem to mention it, but the bitch was detained overnight at Collingdale police headquarters, following an exhaustive interview with borough and county detectives throughout much of the day Thursday: she will charged today. What a sad and disgusting story.

Thanks, gata! I just saw the news and added the update. My post was from yesterday.

The father got custody of a 5 year old child.

Rarely does that happen!

Extremely sad and disgusting!

There should be a special place in Hell for baby killers!

Should have not procreated! I hope her uterus falls out!

I know it's a stupid statement, but, she shouldn't have a chance of killing another baby.

You know these cunts get pregnant if a guy walks by them!

So who leaves an 11 month old in a tub with a 5 year old? A heroin addict, apparently. And the baby was dead before he fell under the water? I hope that sorry excuse for a mother never gets out of prison.

What a piece of shit! And such a cute baby

Even when my niece was showering alone, I'd sit on the step outside the bathroom in case she needed me.
