Cops said that O’Connor told them that she picked up Schweinhart in an SUV and the pair bought $60 worth of heroin from her old drug dealer. Both women’s babies were in the car.

"For whatever reason, they decided yesterday to buy heroin and then snorted it while inside the car with their children," the Boynton Beach Police Department wrote on Facebook about the incident.

When one of the women began convulsing, the other called police but then began to overdose herself and a bystander spoke with police, authorities said.

O'Connor and Schweinhart were charged with child neglect and taken to jail after being released from the hospital, reports said.
