It is sad that all these kids are overdosing on these drugs it seems like the parents are too dozed out on these pills to pay attention and the part about how heroin overdoses are happening to these kids really shows the state of the country and the use of drugs and how prevalent it has become among people.

I feel so bad for these children after reading the article. It was not their fault at all but rather the fault of the parents who just leave pills laying around everywhere. The parents should be more responsible for their actions knowing that there are children running around. They should be double checking the floors to make sure they didn't drop anything.

This news story is about how more and more kids are overdosing on opioids. They are finding in laying around their house or figuring out how to open bottles. Most of the cases are from parents in the home having prescriptions for the opioid. I think this is so sad and is part of a larger problem of opioid addiction.

I think it's terrible that children are dying because of silly mistakes of parents. The fact that parents can drop something so dangerous like a drug on the ground shows that these parents shouldn't have children in the first place. I think that drugs like these should always be out of reach for children and parents should always check to see if they've dropped anything.

This is so preventable!  Why aren't people more careful with their drugs?  It's crazy to blame something like this on pharmaceutical companies or anyone other than the drug users themselves, and there is really no excuse for a baby to ever get their hands on someone's medication.  Keep it in a cabinet very high up out of reach where the baby can not get to it, no exceptions!  This is ridiculous and the majority of the time the person doesn't even need to be taking the drug in the first place.  They are just abusing it due to their own addiction or weakness.  For shame.
