I gave up violent tendencies a while back, but that makes me want to hurt someone. Sickening.

 

[irvin88]

Why would you film it ??

[theebs]

if you scroll down and see the other stories there is one that says 10 year old rape victim gives birth.

I hope the criminal was taken apart at the joints.

Looks like this is a Federal case. That is good news. It makes you wonder what else they did to this child.

 

[DallasFanSince86]

Sickos.

Because the perps are young and dumb:

That's all? I thought it was going to be something really horrible or something the way you guys acted.

I bet half of you would have no porblem if it was someone giving their kid a sip from their beer can. I know my grandfather let me have a sip once or twice when I was a kid (he died when I was 5).

I'd have a problem if it was a toddler...a big problem. you think the kid even asked for it? Doubtful. This isn't the same thing as your dad giving you a sip of beer when your ten years old. Not even close.

Reminds me of the loser drug dealers I used to know that would get their pits stoned all day. Lame.

Um, they also found cocaine in the toddler's system. Still want to compare it to a sip of beer? And who gives a 2-yo sip of beer anyway?

Cocaine isn't horrible enough for you?

 

[Kevinicus]

Well I just saw the article title "video shows kid smoking marijuana" and watched most of the video. I didn't see the part about cocaine. I thought it was just few puffs of marijuana and it just seemed like everyone was going way overboard about it since alcohol is worse than marijuana and lots of kids have gotten sips of that at some point or another by their parents or something.

Cocaine is a whole different ballgame.

Scary that someone thinks making a baby smoke MJ is nothing. I bet if it was a CIGARETTE he would have been bouncing off the ceiling.

 

[Ren]

how dumb do you have to be to give a 2 year old pot then top it off by filming it...


I hope bad things happen to these ****s in prison

Sweet Jay-sus...

I recommend mandatory sterilization of the momma, and castration of the daddy...

Preferably with a dull knife, and no anesthesia... oh, OK, let 'em smoke some of that ton of weed, let's see how much that dulls the pain...

I don't think it's nothing, but it's not, "OH MY GOD!! HOW AWFUL!!!" bad. Like I said, people give kids sips of beer all the time, I'm sure lots of people on these boards have done it with their kids, and lots got sips from their parents. To me that is worse then taking a couple puffs of pot, but nobody says anything about that.

I also didn't see the forcing part. Was that in the article? Because in the video when the kid took it, the kid wasn't fighting and even smiled. Hard to tell with how it was edited though.

The cocaine is the meat of the story IMO. Without it, it's not much more than something you shrug at and say, "stupid parents, glad they're paying for it now," and move on.

A little kid can take a sip of beer without getting drunk, but he can't take a coupla hits of weed without getting stoned...

Mind you, I don't approve of giving little kids beer, or any alcohol, either... I never tasted my first alcohol until I was 13, and it was my granddad who gave it to me, he took me out on a fishing trip on the Chesapeake Bay, just me and him... he later took my brother Ron on a similar trip...

Dad would have broken his neck if he'd found that he gave me beer... the first time I shared alcohol with my parents, I was home from college for the Christmas holidays my freshman year... Mom gave Dad hell for promising me a drink at our New Years Eve party, he pointed out that I'd likely been indulging while I was down at school, what with Juarez being directly across the border... he was, of course, right; I hadn't been down in El Paso for 48 hours before I was sitting roaring drunk in a Juarez cantina...

So Mom relented, said I could have just one... I started to get indignant, my Dad winked at me, and proceeded to make me a Canadian Club and Ginger Ale in this HUGE ol' goblet, it could have served as a small aquarium... had at least a half dozen shots of CC in it...

I was 18 at the time... the party was boring, lots of old folks, so I took my big ol' drink upstairs, sat watching TV and studying for my Microbiology finals as I finished it up...

But back to my original point, no, giving a little kid a taste of a brew is NOT as bad as giving him weed... besides, they weren't GIVING the kid weed, they were FORCING him to inhale it... which is rather a different thing, I think...

Or would you approve of a parent forcing a toddler to drink a beer??

Again on the forcing thing, they mentioned it, but it certainly wasn't in the video. The moments shown where the kid takes the hits, they weren't forcing. Encouraging, definitely, but not forcing.

And if you really think 2 small puffs on a pipe is worse than some sips of beer that's your opinion. I personally think beer is worse than weed no matter the amount. Weed is not some dangerous, highly addictive drug the kid is going to OD on and die or anything. It's about as tame as you can get. I believe that either both pot and alcohol need to be legal, or both need to be illegal. If I had my choice they'd both be illegal, but I know that's unrealistic. And if only ONE is going to be legal, it should be pot, not alcohol.

Were the people wrong to do this? Of course, but so are millions of other people in the country for doing something nobody cares about or mentions. That's why outside of the cocaine, this isn't something that should really be all that shocking to anyone. There are a lot worse things that nobody gets so worked up about. With the cocaine, however, it is definitely a horrible thing to do to an adult, let alone a child, and I hope they're in prison for a very long time. Even then it's not something all that surprising or unheard of, unfortunately.

Don't keep us in suspense. How'd you do?
