An unresponsive 1-year-old was revived after receiving medication for an opioid overdose on Thursday morning.

At 11:14 a.m., Lompoc firefighters and American Medical Response personnel were dispatched to the 800 block of North F Street in Lompoc.

The Lompoc Police Department also responded based on the report of an unresponsive 1-year-old child, with the investigation revealing that the child “was exposed to suspected fentanyl,” police Sgt. Jorge Magana said. 

“The child was administered Narcan by fire and medical personnel on the scene and was fortunately revived,” Magana added. 

The child was transported to the Lompoc Valley Medical Center for further medical care. 

Police said the incident should serve as a reminder of the dangers of fentanyl. A 2-milligram dose of fentanyl is considered a potentially lethal dose and is particularly dangerous for someone with no tolerance to opioids. 

Fentanyl is considered 50 times more potent than heroin. Federal authorities have warned of an increase in lethality seen in fentanyl-laced fake prescription pills trafficked in the United States.

The child’s mother, Jessie McCoy, 36, and father, Robert Curtis, 31, were both arrested on suspicion of felony child endangerment, police said.
