The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office in Birmingham said the incident happened on Monday and the mother of the child, identified as Jeanette Lashay Bell, 31, has been charged with chemical endangerment of a child.

"How long has she been down? How long has she been down?" the officer yells as he kneels next to a girl sprawled out on the floor. 

"About 30 minutes," a distraught woman responds.

The deputy is then seen resuscitating the child by using Narcan. 

"Hey sweetheart, can you hear me? OK, she’s breathing. There you go," he says. 

In a statement, the sheriff’s office said it was told by witnesses inside the home that "the child had ingested some illegal drugs, possibly fentanyl."
