A Keystone Heights, Florida woman allegedly took a photo of her 11-month-old baby holding (and seemingly hitting) a bong, and then had the monumental lack of judgment to post the picture on the Web.


After the photo sparked online outrage, the Florida Department of Children and Families has launched an investigation, reports KSDK.


The 19-year-old mother was quoted by numerous Jacksonville, Fla., new sources as saying the picture was a joke, and that she doesn't let her child smoke marijuana.


The mother told Channel 4 in Jacksonville that she has a "drug evaluation" scheduled for Friday, and the baby will be checked out by a pediatrician.


No charges have yet been filed in the incident.

Are these all bad parents? Or are they just having some fun and makin a joke?

Anyways, dont think i am defending this broad and sayin that its totally cool to have a baby around a bong/drugs, etc. But just read wat I got to say before you start jumping to conclusions about this story.

I think that postin it on the web and taking the pic is terrible judgement, and the bitch had to know that she would catch shit for it if people noticed and it got into the media, BUT

Once they check out the baby, and if they find out that there wasnt marijuana in its system, big fuckin deal.

the mom has questionable taste. She has poor judgement. Those things might not make a great parent, but they aint illegal.

I wouldnt do wat she did, but at the same time I can see how a immature girl who sees the baby sitting by the bong might think, "haha, wouldnt it be funny if i took a picture making it look like he's hittin the bong?" Its a dumb idea, but kids do shit like that and think its funny. She probably thought it would be cute to take a picture of him. A baby that age would not know how to hit a bong and smoke the marijuana, and was probably just doing wat babies do--tryin to look inside it, or eat it, or wtfever. just a curious kid like most babies.

So the bitch sees him by the bong, putin his face by it tryin to see wat it is, and goes aw this is gonna be such a funny picture to put on my face book!

Like i said, it might be horribly stupid of her. its shitty judgement, and bad taste to do.

But, i really dont think she should face no charges other than maybe possibly have to take some parenting classes and go thru a evaluation to see how safe her home is, becuz a bong shouldnt be accessible to a baby.

You know, if your man and his friends were smokin weed, and you had the baby in the other room and once they left, before your man started cleaning up, you brought the baby out to the livingroom to eat some lunch, and the bong was still there and that whole scenario i described before came up, OK. That might happen, and it dont necessarily mean she is a bad mother becuz obviously she was watching the baby to be able to take a picture of him.

But if the bong is just sittin around with easy access for the kid to get into then god knows wat else might be layin around, then that is definately a issue.

The bottom line is that it really depends on WTF was actually goin on here, you know?

And we really dont know that so we cant judge.

If the baby aint got no marijuana in his system and it can get safely said that he did not get exposed to the smoke then I dont see the huge deal.

Like i said the girl should take some parenting classes and somebody need to school her about keeping her adult shit private from the babys area, if she gonna smoke weed (Which i really dont believe is such a bad thing to do when you got a kid, as long as you only do it once the baby is sleeping and you keep all the drugs and materials locked up safe away from the kid) you need to keep that away from the baby. That aint a big deal, and when i got kids someday I am sure that I will still be a weed smoker at night after shit settles down.

You just got to be responsible about it which I dont think this girl was really doing all that much.

In the end, i believe that if there aint no weed in the kid system, the house gets checked out and they dont find nothing else dangerous or incriminating, and the people who know the mom, neighbors, etc, can all vouch for her and say that shes a good mom and there aint no abuse or neglect goin on in the house, then i think its safe to say that damn, its only a picture.

Shit, the girl is 19, she is immature and dumb and prolly really dont know wat the hell shes doing.

Takin and posting the picture was a terrible idea, obviously but i dont think it NECESSARILY means that she is a bad mother or her kid should get took away.

We need more information to be able to tell that, so i dont think its fair of people to jump to judgement right away until they know the whole story.

she could be a totally careless, neglecting bitch of a excuse for a mother who only cares about partying and thinks giving babies drugs is cool.

Or, she could be a good mom who happens to be a pothead and just thought it would be cute/silly to take a PRETEND picture of the baby with the bong, one of those "ha ha" things like "aw, look, --hes gonna grow up to be just like his daddy! gettin into trouble already, that bad little boy!" and then everybody laughs and thats it. I mean how many people have took pictures with their kid holding their beer for them and been like haha--they know its a joke, the baby aint reallly drinking beer. People like to see pictures of babies doing adult type shit. they think its funny, its like human nature--jus think of those commercials for ameri trade with the babies on the cell phones, with the 20-somethin guys doin the voice over and pretending to talk for them.

People take pictures with their baby holdin a cigarette and sunglasses on, like "haha, look at that lil' badass"! it aint serious, its just a joke to them, they would never let their kid smoke the cigarette its just for fun, fuckin around. whether or not its in good or bad taste is up to the viewer but it sure aint illegal to do either one of those things, and its just becuz its a bong and marijuana got such a bad image , you know , a mom doin DRUGS around a BABY! that it gets all this fuss.

Until they release the report about the mom, check out the house, interview the other family members, test the baby for drugs, and get a better, wider picture of the parent skills of this girl, its a lil too early to crucify her for just taking a silly, stupid picture that wasnt meant to be no harm.
 
I'd be extremely impressed if an 11month year old could hit a bong. This has nothing to do with the smoke or getting high or holding it in or anything like that, just knowing how to actually hit a bong and having the lung capacity to do so seem like it's not even possible.

Then again I don't know any 11 month year olds, so I don't really know what they're capable of.
 
I've gotten interrogated by BSO and DCF over whether or not I could continue being a stepfather cuz I had enrolled in a methadone clinic. The kid wasn't even mine!

11 month year olds?
wtf is a month year.
 
I could honestly see myself doing this. It is just a plastic bong, if it was clean and hadnt been smoked recently, then what the hell is the issue? Of course the only issue is that pot is for some reason illegal.

Around here, I don't know about elsewhere, but when a baby passes out at their highchair during a family reunion, it is time to fix an empty beer can in their hand and take some cute pictures.

I would much rather my baby smoking weed rather than drinking beer.

You would never have a problem getting them to eat again!

But really, I guess it is wrong, the bong looks dirty, I also would not pose my child with cigarettes or booze, but they are babies, they have no idea, if they arent consuming it, and it is just for a picture, then who cares.
 
I have a hard time imagining she was actually trying to get the baby high, it was almost certainly just a funny photo (though obviously not everyone shares her sense of humor).

Someone needs to take a photo of a baby with a straw and some lines cut up :p Kick things up a notch for the media.
 
^ Or opium to small children

Harriet Tubman used to give opium to babies and small children to quiet their crying. Though she was trying to move people to the north and avoid slave owners and run-a-way hunters, so she had a legitimate excuse.

Well I'll tell you one thing about it; it's much more rare than sentence fragments and improper capitalization. :p You know what I meant, so do you want me to edit it or something?

When you could buy Laudanum in the UK, mothers would give small doses of it to their kids for all sorts of reasons (getting them to sleep being one of them.
It's mental how things have changed :\

I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing. I wouldn't put my baby / child in any such situation myself, but the people saying that they see lots of pics of babies asleep with beer bottles / can in their grasp. These mothers and fathers don't get punished :| And if this mother's going to be punished for doing this then I don't see any reason why the other parents shouldn't be given the same treatment :p

Stupid, two-tier bollocks :|
 
1) The bong looks like it's filled with smoke. Even if it's not weed, I don't think anyone should be smoking anything in a house with a baby.

2) Despite its unoriginality, the picture is still kind of funny because of the way the baby's holding the bong.

3) I don't think that taking this picture should disqualify her from being a mother. I think the "lapse of judgment" of hosting this picture online shows that she's far too stupid to be trusted raising a child unless she can prove that the ambien walrus did it.

you hit the nail on the head brother... nice post!
 
I'm with Transcendence... if this idiot girl is dumb enough to post a picture of her baby 'hitting' a bong on the internet... does she really have the mental capacity to take care of a child? I mean, if she's that lax about having her shit out around her baby, do you think she cares whether or not she smokes around him? That's presumptuous, of course, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's the case. Besides that... this kid is clearly not in school yet, what happens when he gets to the age where he's going to kindergarten and he starts talking about weed and how his mommy smokes? You think the kid isn't gonna pick things up like that and regurgitate it around school unknowingly?

This girl is a fucking moron. I'm not saying a pothead can't be a good parent or that a good parent can't smoke weed, but clearly this girl is far too stupid to do both. IMHO.
 
i honestly see alot of distaste in those photos, even if its just a joke, puttin a cigarette in a babies mouth is just wrong to me.
 
Poor kid, doesn't stand a chance. :( It really makes me sad knowing people that stupid are out there you know?

This girl is obviously a tard, I mean putting that photo on the net to start with, then having actual smoke in the bong? and she probably doesn't have the best judgement having a kid at 19...

(not hating on the young mothers here, just saying you only get pregnant if you don't use protection y'know?)
 
I think the title is clever....

You are hatin on young mothers by sayin that. I have got pregnant while using protection so dont assume yo. Aint tryna take it off topic but i am just saying. there aint no need to start bringin the age that she had a kid at, into this , and usin it to judge her too.
