Sesame Street is to reveal one of its puppets has a drug-addict mother as it tries to help children affected by the issue.

 

The bright-green character of Karli was introduced earlier this year as a puppet in foster care and viewers will now learn that her mother has an opioid addiction.

 

Producers say they are tackling the subject because nearly six million US children under 11 live in households where a parent has a substance problem.

 

The storyline will appear online as part of the Sesame Street in Communities site.
