"Infant Jane" DEATON-McCOY - 15 Months - Kokomo IN
The parents of a 15-month-old baby girl in Kokomo have been arrested after investigators say near lethal levels of methadone was found inside the child's body.
The apartment the girl was found in was more than 20 degrees warmer than the outside temperature. The child was found in a pack and play crib were investigators say there were spots that looked the same as liquid narcotics found inside the home.
Lab results that took several weeks to come back determined that the child had access to two baby bottles that both had alcohol in them. The child's parents, 20-year-old Basil McCoy and 22-year-old Jessica Deaton are each charged with one count of neglect of a dependent a class C felony.
Emergency room doctors say they can't do much for babies who ingest methadone or other narcotics.
"You put a tube down their throat and breath for them and then wait for the medicine to clear from their system and hope that it doesn't cause damage," said Dr. Keith Ennis with St. Joseph Hospital.
According to court documents, both McCoy and Deaton have not cooperated with police during the investigation but both told officers back in July they were not aware their baby had ingested liquid methadone.
The McCoy baby had not had this happen before but family members say there had been signs of trouble before. According to court documents, relatives have accused the baby's mother of losing the child at a T.J. Maxx store two months before the incident. Also it's alleged the parents sold methadone for $8 a pill and these family members claim neither of the child's parents worked.
