I know this is a few days old, but I just couldn't help but wonder WTF here.
It must have been a "potent" (strong) prescription for the father to believe it to be SAFE enough to let the child have the bottle?

Umm, either Im reading this backwards or your logic is.

infanticide? well when you consider how harmless and obtainable baby rattles are compared to prescriptions!! you can make a rattle out of a plastic jar of dry beans!! this guy may have been really lazy or sumthing...or mentaly dense

Or just put the dry beans in the prescription bottle instead of keeping the drugs in there. This way if the baby had liked how it looked, it's still the same on the outside.

I think they mean basically "they must have been pretty high to think that was a good idea."

by the way, the pills in the bottle were Suboxone, and he only took a few licks from a pill

One or both of the parents, Edwin Perocier, 44, and Zoraiva Santiago, 22, gave the child a bottle of Suboxone that belonged to Mr. Perocier, the official said. The medication is used to treat people who are addicted to illegal or prescription opioid drugs.

A short time later, Ms. Santiago went to check on Edwin and found the bottle open. Some of the pills had fallen out and one of them was wet. Ms. Santiago took the pills away, gave the child a bottle of milk, and went to sleep, a law enforcement official said.

At 7:45 a.m. Friday, the parents awoke and found Edwin unconscious in his crib. They called 911, and Edwin was taken to Lincoln Medical and Mental Health Center, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
