A mother has lost custody of her son after he was found in the back of a car by authorities.

What’s strange about that, you may ask? Well, in the front seats were his grandmother and her boyfriend who had passed out after a heroin session.

Now, 25-year-old Reva McCullough, a stripper and ex-crack smoker, wants her son back.

The whole saga started when an Ohio cop saw the boyfriend, James Lee Acord, driving erratically. He pulled them over, but by the time he approached the car to pull the keys out of the ignition, Acord had passed out. Grandmother Rhonda Pasek had already passed out and was turning blue.

The Ohio police then shared this photograph of the scene they encountered:

Pretty disturbing, right? Well, that’s what the police force was going for. When criticised for releasing the photograph, they responded by saying that they did it to educate people on the effects of heroin.

Here’s another shocker:

The four year old was placed into custody care of a great aunt in South Carolina. While the grandmother and her boyfriend have been arrested, it’s not the first time the boy has been around drugs:

McCullough, who admitted she did crack, lost custody of the boy in December 2012 about four and a half months before he was born because of her drug use. The judge originally gave custody to his great grandparents, now in their mid-80s, but custody battles have involved his birth parents, a grandmother, a friend and two great aunts, living in a total of four different states.

But the grandmother’s sister has a different story:

Pasek’s sister, who lives in Delaware, told NBC News she has custody of the boy’s younger brother, who is three. She said she and Pasek were raising the boys because Pasek’s troubled son and his girlfriend couldn’t manage.

And that’s the story, folks.
