'As IHOP employees were arriving to the restaurant around 5.30am this morning, they noticed a toddler with no clothes on wandering around the parking lot and wrapped the toddler in an apron. 

'They also noticed a van in the parking lot with two adults passed out inside and were unable to wake the adults up.

'The adults were identified as Jordyn Freeman, 24, and Randy McMillin, 27, of West Portsmouth, Ohio. 

'Both were under the influence of drugs and officers could see the drugs inside the van. Officers also found nine-month old twins in the van. One was covered with blankets and pillows.
