Toddler Nearly Dies After Methadone Ingestion | Indianapolis News

A four-year-old boy nearly died after swallowing methadone from a red bottle he found at his father’s home, sparking a harrowing emergency response and criminal investigation. The child, who complained of a “yucky” taste and nosebleeds, collapsed at a Noblesville gas station, requiring Narcan to revive him. His father, Michael Long — a methadone user — and stepmother Brittany Long face serious neglect charges after the child was dropped off with them and later rushed to the hospital. Video shows the family at a bank and gas station before the 911 call, and the child reportedly asked his father why he sprayed something in his nose — a detail that raises alarms. Both parents now face $50,000 bail. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
