WATAUGA, Texas (CNN) -- Police in suburban Fort Worth, Texas, said a videotape found in a search for stolen goods appears to show two teenagers persuading a 2-year-old boy and his 5-year-old brother to smoke marijuana.

Third-degree felony charges have been filed against the teenagers.

"I have never seen anything like this quite so disturbing," said Bruce Ure, director of public safety for the Watauga Police Department. "Our children count on us to protect them; these individuals did everything but protect these children." (Watch kids puff on apparent joint as teens laugh)

The incident began unfolding February 22, when the Fort Worth Police Department executed a search warrant to look for stolen goods in the apartment of 17-year-old Demetris McCoy, the unemployed uncle of the two children, and 18-year-old Vanswan Polty, Ure said.

Among the items recovered was camera equipment, Ure said. Upon looking at one of the tapes, investigators came across "a session where these two males were providing marijuana" to the youngsters, he said. "They were essentially trying to get them high, laughing. The children are stumbling, falling around."

Ure said it appeared that the videotaped scene was not the boys' first such session.

The 2-year-old was holding what appeared to be a marijuana cigarette "like he's done it before," Ure said. "He's inhaling."

The boys' mother, McCoy's sister, has told police she was sleeping in the back bedroom during the incident. She has not been charged, Ure said.

Nor has another minor, who served as the cameraman, Ure said.

In the video, a man puts a cigarette into the toddler's mouth. The other boy is seen smoking without prompting.

The children have been in the custody of Child Protective Services, Ure said.

I can't believe people are so stupid.

I don't understand why they watched all their videotapes. But ya, two year olds should not be smoking weed. What a bunch of idiots. It can't be good for that little kids lungs.

I got drunk/tipsy twice when I was five or six years old. The first time I stole two of my dad's beer when he would mak eme fetch his beer from the fridge, he told me not to do that anymore and that was it. The second time I was caught drinking from the tap of those wine in a boxes that was in the fridge. When my mom found out she broke one of those giant wooden kitchen spoons on my ass from spanking me so hard with it.

I AM Canadian FTMFW :lol

I started drinkin a wine cooler too when I was younger. My dad whipped the shit out of my ass for at least 2 minutes. Indian parents.

That makes me sick. I couldn't care less what drugs adults choose to take but subjecting a 2 and 5 year old to them should land you in jail for a very long time.

I saw this yesterday night, 2 little black kids smoking a joint.

This might be the most insightful post ever on GAF.

Why is this a news story? There are alot of cases of child abuse out there alot worse than this.

 

[emomoonbase]

Weaksauce. I was snorting rails of coke off a hooker's ass before I could walk.

Believe it or not, I took my first pull at the age of 4. No one made me, though. My dad left a cigg burning in his ashtray, when he got up to the answer the phone. I came up to the tray thinking: "what the hell is this curiously burning stick that smells so good. Blast you fiendish product of God. Tell me your secrets!"* I took a puff, coughed up like a mad man, went into my bed room and passed the hell out. I think I fell asleep for 3 hours.

The Stewart-ish quote never happened. But it'd have been funnier if it did!

 

[Suburban Cowboy]

was it necessary to refer to a 17 year old as "unemployed"?

 

[Joe]

that's a lifetime ban at the saturday night smokers lounge as far as im concerned.

was it necessary to refer to a 17 year old as "unemployed"?

if he's not in school then i think its necessary.

 

[JayDubya]

Wait, here in the Forth Worth area? What the ****?

I think marijuana should be legal, but giving it to a two year old? What the shit is that?

 

[Amir0x]

That is horrible, and something is really wrong and ****ed up with those two asshats they were with. Did you see that part where he started telling the older one to hit the smaller one?
