A Pennsylvania toddler is recovering after ingesting heroin while the child’s mother overdosed Monday evening, according to Police.
The 16-month-old’s father returned home to find the child and his girlfriend, the boy’s mother, unconscious, according to KYW-TV.
Police say the baby is believed to have chewed on a discarded plastic baggie that held the drug.
Upper Darby police tweeted that the boy is “lucky to be alive after being treated at a hospital.”
KYW reports that responders used Narcan to save the baby, and that the mother is also alive.
Charges are pending after investigators executing a search warrant reportedly found additional empty bags of heroin in the home.
