Read How A 5-year-old Boy Saved Parents Who Were Overdosed On Heroin

Ohio Police in a new statement says a 5-
year-old boy ran for two blocks in the dark
to get help after finding his parents
unconscious early on Thursday morning.



His grandfather Kenny Currey said the boy
burst into his house saying, "Mom and
dad's dead, mom and dad's dead!". Currey
then ran back to the house and what he
found scared him to death: His
stepdaughter and her partner had
overdosed on heroin.


Middletown police went to the house
where they found the boy's 3-month-old
sister sitting in a car seat, crying.



They later
found two adults who were unconscious.



"This 5-year-old child, a hero, saved 3 lives
today. How can something so awesome be
so sad all at the same time?. They are
supposed to be her guardians and never let
anything bad happen to her" the police
department posted on Facebook.



The father was revived after one dose of
Narcan, a medication used to reverse
heroin and other opiod overdoses, the
police report said. The mother was given
seven doses of Narcan and then
transported to a hospital because she had
not regained consciousness.


She was later
revived and was taken to jail, the report
said.



In Middletown, police brought the 5-year-
old boy and his baby sister to the station
after the incident and gave the boy a badge
for his bravery. The boy's parents were
arrested and charged with two counts of
child endangerment and disorderly
conduct, police said, but more charges
could be filed.
