Alabama residents charged with child abuse after infant overdose

Two individuals, Charles Young and Kayla Brasher, face child abuse charges in Blount County, Alabama, following the drug overdose of a 10-month-old infant.

According to preliminary investigations, Brasher allegedly administered a prescription medication to the infant that is typically used to treat opioid addiction in adults. Authorities report that the accused failed to seek immediate medical attention for the child, whose condition became critical over the weekend due to this medical negligence.
