YUCAIPA, Calif. (KABC) -- Edith Sepulveda lost her 13-year-old daughter Adilene Carrasco after a fatal asthma attack in 2019. Adilene's class at Mesa View Middle School in Calimesa was heading to the soccer field for a science project when she began to have an asthma attack. She had a known history of asthma attacks, which was documented by the school. She alerted her teacher of this difficulty breathing, and her teacher allowed her to go back to the classroom with a friend to get her inhaler.
