Ohio Police Post Graphic Photo Of Overdosed Parents In SUV With 4-Year-Old Child In Backseat

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 09 Sep, 2016 03:38 PM
    An Ohio police department says it’s trying to show the impact of the heroin and painkiller epidemic by sharing photos of a 4-year-old boy sitting in a vehicle behind slumped-over adults who were later revived with an overdose antidote.
     
    East Liverpool police say in a Facebook message they’re sorry if people are offended but they want the public to see what happens and they want to be a voice for the boy who witnessed the scene.
     
    “We feel it necessary to show the other side of this horrible drug. We feel we need to be a voice for the children caught up in this horrible mess,” said the city in the Facebook post.
     
    Police say an officer watched the vehicle weave erratically and stop, then approached and noticed signs the driver was impaired. The officer says the driver indicated he was taking his unconscious female passenger to a hospital, then became unresponsive himself.
     

    The officer called paramedics, who revived the pair.
     
    “We are well aware that some may be offended by these images and for that we are truly sorry, but it is time that the non-drug using public sees what we are now dealing with on a daily basis,” the city said in a statement.
     
    They are facing child-endangering charges among others.
