A horrified mum found her four-year-old daughter with a bag of cocaine she picked up in her courtesy car.
Zara James was sickened when she discovered her little girl Reah with a bag of white powder in the back of the motor.
She had been given the vehicle, as her car needed repairs, from the dealership Robins & Day Peugeot dealership in Stockport, Manchester Evening News reports.
She was shocked to find that while she was driving home from a shopping trip, youngster Reah had found a small bag of white powder and was asking what it was.
Mum-of-two, Zara, from Stockport, said: “I was driving and my mum was in the passenger seat and Reah asked ‘what’s this?’.
“My mum looked around and she had this bag in her hand. It was a plastic sealed bag about the size of a matchbox and was full of something white. I started panicking and asking if she had opened it. She shook her head but I just kept saying ‘are you sure?.’
“I just didn’t know what to do. My 14-week-old son was sat at the side of her so I was worried she could have tried to give it to him.”
Sickened: Zara could not believe her eyes
The youngster had picked it up from between the back of the rear seats and when they got home the panic continued.
Zara, a manager of a diet clinic, added: “We thought we should take her to hospital but were worried they would ask how she was able to come into contact with drugs.
"I don’t drink, smoke and have never taken drugs so never thought I would be in this situation. It is every mother’s nightmare to be confronted with that.”
The pair kept a close eye on Reah and said she was okay so didn’t make the trip to hospital. Zara immediately contacted the garage.
“How had that been left in the car? Surely staff should be checking the cars as they come in and before they go out,” she added.
