Daughter live streams her parents on a 'heroin binge' after she returns home to find them wasted in front of the TV

Unresponsive, sweating, eyes glazed over - a daughter has live streamed her parents while they are apparently on a heroin binge in their living room.

The footage, shot in America, reveals the daughter and a man, whose connection to the couple is unknown, trying to wake the pair up as they slump in front of the TV.

Dressed in a tie dye T-shirt, the mother can be seen in a close-up shot at the start of the video looking completely spaced out, unable to look at the camera as her daughter attempts to bring her round. 

Both parents are in a horrendous state in the video, seemingly because they are high on heroin

The father lies sprawled out on the floor, completely unresponsive to what is going on around him

Her father can be seen in sat curled up on the floor, slowly rocking backwards and forwards but completely oblivious to what is going on around him.

The man filming says: 'They're really f***** up, ain't they?' before the daughter gets her phone out and shines its torch in her father's face.

'Man, you cannot be like this around your kids,' the cameraman adds.

The daughter tries to shine a torch light in both of of their faces. The father rubs his eyes, but does not get up

He does not even respond when she kicks him. 'He can't even feel it, that's how high he is,' she says. 

The daughter climbs over and shouts at her mother with the torch right in her face, but with no luck. 

At one stage, the girl begins kicking her father in a desperate attempt to wake him, saying 'he can't even feel it, that's how high he is'.

The video ends as he appears to start getting up.

It is unclear when the footage was shot but it is the latest in a series of shocking videos laying bare the scale of the heroin epidemic in the U.S. 

Shocking epidemic laid bare: People passed out in their cars and in the street in broad daylight

In June, a report from the United Nations warned of a heroin epidemic gripping America with cheap supply helping push the number of users to a 20-year high. 

In recent months authorities have said they are coping with an abnormal spike in the number of overdoses after heroin cut with elephant tranquilizer 10,000 times more powerful than morphine was being taken.  

Last week footage emerged of bystanders laughing at a married couple as they fell unconscious in the street in broad daylight after overdosing on heroin. 

The video showed a husband and wife writhing on the floor after snorting the drug in the bathroom of a nearby Walgreens before they pass out in the street in Memphis, Tennessee.  

Paramedics eventually arrived on the scene and revived Carla Hiers, 59, and her partner, who are both long-time drug addicts. She is seen on her knees before she loses consciousness. Her partner passes out while bent backwards over a bench.

Perhaps the most shocking image of the summer showed a couple slumped, passed out in their car with a four-year-old boy looking on from the back seat.

The image was shared on social media by Ohio police in a bid to raise awareness of 'this horrible drug'. 

The woman, 50-year-old Rhonda Pasek, who became known as 'heroin grandma', was sentenced to 180 days in jail after pleading no contest to child endangering. Her boyfriend James Acord received 360 days in jail for child endangering and operating a vehicle under the influence. 

In an emotional jailhouse interview with DailyMail.com, Pasek insisted she was not on heroin and that she had drunk a single bottle of Redd's Blueberry Ale and took part of what she thought was a Percocet-like painkiller because she was feeling so bad.

It shows Rhonda Pasek and her boyfriend James Acord passed out in their vehicle while Pasek's four-year-old grandson looks on from the back seat. Both were jailed after pleading guilty to charges of child endangering

She said: 'I made the worst mistake of my life. I'll be paying for this until the day I die. 

 'I know how wrong I was and there is no taking it back. I take full responsiblity. 

When asked about the allegations of heroin, Pasek rolled up the sleeves of her dark green prison uniform and showed her arms which had no sign of any trackmarks.

Her public defender also told the local newspaper The Review that Pasek had tested negative for heroin and said no syringes were found in the car.
