Wall Township parents Sharek White, 46, and Alexis
Mistretta, 37, were charged with one count of endangering the welfare of a
child after their toddler overdosed.
The child is believed to have been playing with items that were exposed to
opioids.
The Prosecutor's Office says that township police were
called to a residence for a suspected overdose on Monday Oct. 17.
Officers discovered an unresponsive toddler, nearly 2 years
old, with lifesaving efforts already in progress.
First responders continued these efforts as the child was
rushed to a local hospital, where she is awake and currently being
monitored.
