Grrr.. That's fucking disturbing.
WTF? where was their mother!?!
Probably right next to them passed out from getting high. ;)
Leaving your kids with your 18 year old brother probably doesn't seem like a negligent act. I mean, I know lots of parents who smoke pot - more with relatives who do. It doesn't mean you either expect them to do in front of your kid or get your kid to do it.
What tools. How did the police get this video - did I miss something?
This is not good...:(
This is actually more common than you would expect, particularly in areas where pot is socially acceptable. Definately wrong in my opinion, but I have seen toddlers smoking jibs when I lived in Hawaii.
Dang - People are so deplorable and straight-up f*ckn brainless /:O .
The uncle (the adult in the situation) must have felt like such a PL that he allowed his lack of self-esteem, which apparently cultivated a desire to be seen as "cool" by his friend and little nephews, to smoke in front of them.
1) The uncle had the malice, since he supplied and supervised what the kids were smoking.
2) The uncle had knowledge that he was breaking the law, coercing babies to do the same, and nevertheless proceeded to do so for the same reason people abuse animals - For their own sadistic kicks. Interestingly enough, bullying, cruelty and torture evidenced in teenagers are indications of sociopathic tendencies (what sick f*ck wants to get a baby kid, especially a 2-year old, high ?!?!)
I believe this is a case of child endangerment perpetrated first-handedly by the uncle.
What a shame. Because of their d*ckhead loser uncle (Jackass-wannabe REJECT), the babies are now in the system and the uncle will probably be institutionalized, further splintering their family. Unfortunately, studies show that once an individual is institutionalized, their rate of criminal recidivism greatly increases; thus increasing the chance that they will be institutionalized again. And we all know about the type of things that happen in the criminal justice system and foster care :'( - downhill from there, unfortunately.
And what's worse- They will probably "throw the book" at the teenager
["This is the first time this has ever happened" (or rather, been caught on video and made public). "We need to make an example and send a message about the criminal justice system". "Politics, Politics, Politics and nominations". ]
Not to mention all the heat he will catch when he tries to start a normal life again in the future (like getting a job and filing for FAFSA with a criminal record) further perpetuating the disconnect :( .
P.S. Question: W(here)TF were the parents ?!?! How about attaching a conviction on them for negligence or indifference or something?
There is a saying in Law: "Ignorance is not a valid legal excuse - The law is clear". If this applies to the teenager (who is not 18 yet), then I believe that it should also apply to the parents, because they are the "capable responsible ADULTS" who left the uncle responsible for their children (shouldn't they have known better?) >:( .
Nobody wants to take responsibility for anything anymore. That's why these kids run around rampant shooting schools up - because "it wasn't the kid's fault" and "it wasn't the parent's fault" either?
Give me a big fat break! At 17, I knew better than to do some boneheaded sh*t like that! It's called common decency and common sense!
:Sigh: Sorry so long. This really upset me. :sigh:
I saw it on cnn before I posted the link. They said on the news when the video was taken the mother was sleeping in the bedroom. They found the video because they came to the house to arrest the teenage uncle with robbery.
:O .
Definitely, the mother knew WTF was going on! You cannot smoke anything indoors without smelling smoke unless you smoke too, I guess, which would also indicate that she was aware of the situation and trying to be "The Cool Aunt" :-\ ; How desperate of her to endanger her children in order to afford herself the title to her 17 year old nephew.
And if she didn't, then she is even more guilty ("Ignorance is not a valid legal excuse")! One should know everything that happens with one's babies, especially if it happens in your own house!!!
I'd be interested to know the mother's age. She's probably 18 herself or something. If so this would allow her just a tiny little bit of slack. If she is older, then she should definitely know better and it is disgusting of her!
Double :O !
Then I am guessing the mother would have gone along with it? Why else would the video be found in her house? This implies that he was comfortable enough with the contents of the tape to leave it in her video collection (they arrested him at her home, correct? Hmmm, seems suspicious to me :detective: ).
I know for sure that if I was sick enough to do something like that, I definitely would not leave VIDEO evidence laying around in the house in which I did it so that the parent of the child in question could find it - Unless he knew that it would be "cool" with the mom .
Unless she was also involved in the whole thing (the robbery) and just played "sleeping" when the cops busted in? Either way, they would find her guilty of harboring a criminal and probably an accomplice to the crime in the capacity of accessory before or after the fact, depending on the circumstances. Plus, what kind of mother puts their child in the middle of a crime; i.e. in harm's way?
Permissive parenting and lax (and ultimately, pointlessly ineffectual) supervision makes me gag - Ugh! I'm sorry, but some people just aren't fit to be parents.
Thank God for the ones who really care.
There's nothing new about this. Parents and people caring for small children have given the children sedatives to keep them quiet as long as there have beens such things on the planet. In South America mothers give their babies coca leaves (where cocaine comes from) to ease teething pain and to quiet the child.
Not too many people ridicule parents that sedate their kids with prescription medications like ritalin.
VG was right:

What a waste of good pot. Little kids are goofy enough anyway, they don't need weed.
wow. just wow. ^^ lol mad max.
I absolutely agree with you on all of your points Paris. It is definitely under reported and I see your point about sedation and over-medication.
However, the article read that laughter could be heard in the background of the video in question and just the fact that they taped it hints to me that they did so to digitally document their stupidity for their own assanine posterity and pomposity so that they can brag to their friends (What has YouTube done to the world?).
This indicates to me, that they were not trying to merely sedate the kids, but entertain themselves by giving them a narcotic to see how they would react, then make fun of how goofy they behaved when they became intoxicated. This is malicious intent (drugging somebody for your own amusement sounds a lot like someone slipping someone a rufie) and therefore constitues as abuse and possibly a negligence charge, since the mother could have not possibly been unaware of what was going on under her own nose.
Just like the group of boys who went on a drive-by paintball gun shooting spree - They were shooting at on-road driving motorists and cyclists. These guys got slammed in court.
After saying their half-assed dim-eyed sorries before sentencing, hoping to get cut a break, the Judge said that the video footage was evidence that what they did, they did without remorse and that their intention was premeditated and malicious (making people think they got shot).
His conclusion was sealed by the laughter in the video, which the Judge described as "cruel".
I grew up with a group of all guys. These guys were sickos (think Jackass before Jackass) and would abuse each other and tape it (they thought this was funny to share with others). One of them gave my cousin's dog beer just to dee how it would react.
Needless to say, upon the dog's reaction, there was cheering, jeering and laughing at this poor dog, which had no idea WTF had been done to him and very obviously, did not enjoy the brewski.
I was so disgusted. Then again, these guys Krazy Glued one of "their own's" twig and berries to his hairy-*ss legs :P :
-These are the same guys who end up in fraternities branding each other and stabbing each other for the sake of the "brotherhood".
-These are the same girls who sodomize their sorority "sisters" while they're pledging.
It all boils down to sadistic abuse.
And these same people could end up as teachers, guidance counselors, and child care workers.
Just something to think about :glasses: .
LoL + Word.
:flirt:
i know of people giving their kids nyquil or benadryl to have them sleep so they can hang out with friends or "get some peace" excuse me, but IMO, you give up your right to PEACE when you choose to bring a child into this world...
how disgusting is this, ugh
of course this would happen in austin...
ah never mind its watuaga, texas
Here's the video of the kids smoking. :O http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPgKZOfG89Q
I wonder how the hell a toddler learned how to smoke that, shit. That is just so damn fucked up.
They look like midgets too.
OMG!! What is this world coming to? Teaching childern to smoke weed? I don't even smoke in the house with my kids. This is so messed up!!
Ugh, that is just wrong....
When I was 17 I went to IHOP with a friend before school & we sat in the smoking section. A couple minutes later a couple with a baby who was probably 11 months old sat a couple seets away from us (in the smoking section!!!) The parents smoked cigarettes the whole time we were there (right next to their toddler). My friend & I didn't smoke a single cigarette & gave dirty looks to that couple the entire time & made comments (loudly) about how cigarette smoke is so bad for children, how parents should smoke outsdide, etc. They pretended not to notice us. I thought THAT was the worst I'd seen in childcare.
Now the uncle is bitching about how everyone is making such a big deal about the video! He needs to be in a psych ward.
It's one thing to smoke a little pot when you understand what it is & what it will do but it's fucked up to give it to little children that can't even read yet just to amuse yourself because their less than 40 pound bodies can't handle it. This is just f'd up. The uncle should be put in a rehab/psychiatric facility. Maybe a little jail first, to show him how wrong his thought process actually is.
