Alexander T. Moles, 39, was supposed to be looking after the boy and his siblings Monday morning while their mother showered before checking out of an Airbnb in Wildwood, NJ, according to court documents obtained by New Jersey 101.5.<\/p>\n

He then drove the unidentified toddler to the hospital in North Wildwood after the mom finished her shower and panicked about her son looking sleepy and having difficulty breathing, the docs said.<\/p>\n

One of them called 911, and at some point Moles told police he thought the tot had taken \u201cpain killers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once at the hospital, the boy was saved thanks to a Naloxone nasal spray \u2014 or Narcan \u2014 which is used to treat overdoses,\u00a0NJ.com reported.<\/p>\n

The toddler later tested positive for cocaine after he was taken to Cooper University Hospital Cape Regional for blood tests.<\/p>\n
