The Jackson County Sheriff says a terrible mom and her equally awful boyfriend are responsible for the overdose death of a 4-year-old boy.
Back on June 15, the child’s mother called 911 to report he was not breathing and CPR was in progress. While first responders rushed to the scene, the boy’s parents fled the scene. Sadly, little Zayden Sprouse did not survive.
Camper Filled With Needles
Medical personnel were suspicious, so police acted quickly to search the camper where the mother and her boyfriend lived.
According to their report, deputies discovered a large number of syringes throughout the camper. The deputies reported that they found a loaded uncapped syringe, a light bulb which had been converted into a smoking pipe, along with other items believed to be drug paraphernalia.
