Police officials say a mother in Bacon Raton, Florida was arrested after she was found passed out in her vehicle from a suspected drug overdose while her 5-year-old daughter was in the back seat. ABC Action News reports that early Monday morning, a passerby called 911 after hearing a child crying from inside of a van with the windows rolled up, engine off, and the driver passed out.
It was reported that the child told the passerby that her “mommy keeps falling asleep and not waking up.” She also spoke with 911 dispatchers and said, “Last night, she fell asleep and again and again, over and over and over. I tried to wake mommy up, and she wouldn’t wake up.”
When emergency medical services arrived at the scene, they found the child inside the vehicle and she told them she “just wanted to go to school.” It was later uncovered that it was the child’s birthday.
