Boy, 5, drank from father's can of lager as his drug-addled parents lay unconcious on bus Passengers called 999 as 2 children tried to rouse them Boy grabbed can of lager from high father and drank Parents both admit two charges of child neglect A five-year-old swigged from his father's can of lager while his drug addict parents were unconscious on a bus, a court heard. The boy and his eight-year-old sister were seen trying to rouse the passed-out couple on a journey in West Yorkshire so other passengers called 999. Paramedics attended and the parents were revived with oxygen and injections of anti-opiate drugs. The father pleaded guilty two charges of child neglect and will be sentenced next month along with his wife, who admitted the same charges at an earlier hearing. Neglect: The boy and his eight-year-old sister were seen trying to rouse their parents on a bus last month, Wakefield Magistrates Court (pictured) heard Wakefield Magistrates Court heard how the incident happened aboard the 110 Kettlethorpe to Leeds bus on August 20. Rory Byrne, prosecuting, said the mother had initially fallen asleep against the bus window and the father tried to wake her. The daughter, who had become upset, tried to wake her mother. At that point, that father also fell asleep against the window,' he said. He left his open can of beer so the boy was able to get it and have a sip out of it before the police arrived. When the police arrived at the scene, they found both parents asleep and slumped against the window. Shameful: Passengers on the bus said they saw the little boy drinking his unconscious father's lager Paramedics were called and anti-opiate drugs were administered, which revived both people at the scene. Both were arrested. At a previous court hearing the couple's solicitor Rob Fones said the mother hadn't been feeling well and had earlier taken two 'mystery' pills. Caroline Deacon, defending, said the father had been out in Leeds with friends before the incident. She added: 'It was not the intention he was going to have care of the two children that afternoon. He got a call from his wife and they arranged to meet up. 'Unbeknown to him, she wasn't in any fit state to look after the children and he concedes he wasn't in any fit state either. It is on that basis he recognises he was responsible for the neglect of the two children. The father, who is on a methadone programme and has been in custody since the previous court hearing on August 22, was bail until he is sentenced. He told the court via video link from HMP Leeds: 'This has never happened with my children before and we need to get our children back. 'Whilst I'm in here that is dead time. The kids need to be home as soon as possible. 'I'm not worried about myself, prison doesn't mean anything to me. I would do anything to get my children home.
