ELWOOD, Ind. — A two-year-old child appears to have overdosed on narcotics, perhaps believing it was eating candy.
The child was rushed to a nearby hospital and is listed in stable condition.
Authorities said it appears the child swallowed suboxone, a prescription semi-synthetic opioid. The drug was kept in a breath mint container and some of the pills were missing.
The child’s grandmother, who also is the toddler's legal guardian, became suspicious when the child would not wake up from a nap.
Capt. Andy McGuire said there was no sign the child has suffered any brain damage.
