A terrified mum rushed her two-year-old daughter to hospital after she found the toddler playing with what appeared to be class A drugs in a local play area.
Kimberley Kinghorn took little Kehlani to get check out after discovering she touched the wrap and had gone to put in in her mouth.
The parent quickly noticed she was playing with something unusual at the playground in Edinburgh, Scotland, and sprung into action.
The 27-year-old and her mum were left terrified at Kehlani was seconds away from becoming very seriously ill.
Speaking to Edinburgh Live, she hit out at the careless attitude of others after her daughter's life was put in danger.
She said: "As my mother and I sat on the benches within the park as normal my daughter started to toddle around us while eating her bar she was dropping pieces off her food and attempting to then pick it back up again.
"I was keeping a close eye on what she was picking up my mother and I began to chat as my daughter then walked round the back of us and a few seconds later then was suspiciously quiet that's when I turned round to see her crouched over attempting to retrieve something off the ground that didn't appear to be part off what she was eating.
"Within seconds she picked it up and just as she went to place it into her mouth I quickly swiped it off her.
"At first I wasn't concerned, the park is usually kept clean and we visit almost every day because it is a new and usually well maintained park for toddler age, and the item just looked like a bit off tissue scrunched up or something.
"But as I rolled it on my palm I could then clearly see that it was a cigarette paper wrapped around something then twisted tightly at the top to contain something in side, I knew from common knowledge that this looked like a wrap of drugs."
After inspecting the bag while her mum looked after Kehlani, Kimberley quickly found telltale crystals of what looked like the class A substance inside.
The family then explained that they alerted the centre to the suspected drug use in the park, before giving staff the bag.
A thorough examination from medics at A&E had determined Kehlani had not ingested the substance.
Kimberley has been left terrified and furious about the incident.
She added: "I was so worried about my daughter I was fuelled by panic and worry , I was also so angry to think what the fatal outcome could have been had I not caught her in time, meanwhile the person who put her in harms way would be walking with out a care.
"Having to see my little girl wired up on all sorts of machines to test she was okay after the incident was something I will never forget."
