Horrible: A Philadelphia Toddler Ate Crack Cocaine While At A Day Care!
A 3-year-old girl is hospitalized after police say she ingested an unknown quantity of crack cocaine.
The discovery was made Tuesday morning at Works Early Learning Center located at 52nd Street and Haverford Avenue in West Philadelphia.
Police say it was around 9:30 a.m. when a daycare employee noticed the child gnawing on something and moved in to inspect what the child had in her mouth.
It was determined that the child was chewing on a plastic packet with white residue and that raised a red flag.
The daycare owner then contacted the child's mother, rushed her to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and notified authorities.
The daycare owner, Sereda Thompson, tells us, "As a mandated child abuse reporter, I'm required to report abuse, neglect or the unexpected such as happened with this child."
