Ohio police say a 5-year-old boy rescued his overdosing parents by walking two blocks, alone and in the dark, to alert a relative that he thought they were dead.
Officers arrived at the couple's home Thursday morning and found that they had overdosed on heroin, according to a Middletown Police Facebook post.
Emergency responders used a drug-overdose antidote to revive the unresponsive couple. Authorities found a 3-month-old baby girl sitting in a car seat nearby.
The couple, whom officials identified as Lee Johnson and Chelsie Marshall, acknowledged using heroin and were jailed on child-endangerment charges. The police department shared the story on Facebook, urging drug users to seek help and for their loved ones to help them.
I'm sure you guys know me pretty well by now, so it should be no surprise I'm posting this or going to say this:
Don't fucking do drugs around your children. This is not an okay thing to do, and this is one thing that will automatically strip the respect I have for anyone.
Yeah drugs and kids don't mix. Keep them innocent as long as you can. The world is soooooo much different than what you picture it as a 5 year old. They have plenty of time to "grow up"
