The parents of a 3-year-old boy have been arrested after police in
Manchester, New Hampshire, said they overdosed on heroin while the
youngster was in the bathtub.
Police said the incident happened late last year at a residence on
Bethel Court.
Investigators said that on Dec. 4, 2014, police were called to an
apartment by the child's grandmother after she found the parents
unconscious in the bathroom with the child in the tub.
Police said the boy was unhurt in the incident. Authorities said the grandmother became suspicious when the bathroom grew quiet and went to see what was happening. That's when she found the couple passed out, police said.
Eric Carter, 21, and Stephanie McCassin, 24, were charged with endangering the welfare of a child.
The parents were arrested on Thursday and released on bail. They are scheduled to appear in court on May 22.
Police said the child was turned over to the custody of his grandmother.
