VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla.-- A 43-year-old grandmother in Volusia County was caring for her toddler-age grandson when she was caught buying heroin, according to the sheriff's office.

Authorities witnessed the deal, arrested the woman, and took the two-year-old into the custody.

The little boy can be seen walking around the parking lot barefoot before the deputy picks him up and places him in the squad car.

The deputy explains to the woman how lethal those substances can be for adults, let alone a toddler.
