A British Columbia toddler was rushed to the emergency room after he was found putting a used needle in his mouth and ear.
Global News reported that mother Emily Krebs was playing with her 17-month-old son, Xavier, in their apartment's yard when she turned around to fetch a ball, she then found Xavier with the needle.
Xavier was rushed to the emergency room after the incident. Krebs is still waiting for test results to see if Xavier has a viral infection.
Since the incident, Xavier has been ill and Krebs believes it’s related to the needle.
“We feel violated, scared, sad and angry because so much could’ve been prevented if there was word out there that there was needles,” Emily Krebs told Global News.
Due to Xavier’s age, the family must wait six months before he can be tested for HIV and hepatitis.
