Bad Parent Of The Week: Mother Lets Baby Smoke Pot (VIDEO)

A mother is in jail for allegedly making her 22-month-old son smoke marijuana from a bong.

Rachelle Braaten from Centralia, Washington is seen in a video letting her son smoke marijuana. After police were alerted to the video, their anti-crime team went to check on the boy.

Police found 40 marijuana plants in the home, according to KOMO 4 News. Braaten, 24, was arrested and faces charges of manufacturing of marijuana and delivery of a controlled substance to a minor.

In the video, Braaten could be seen laughing as the toddler leaned over the bong. She later said she felt “horrible” about it.

“I guess it was a joke and a stupid mistake that wasn’t really funny,” she told police.

The child’s father, Tyler Lee, was also arrested after confessing to selling marijuana to a dispensary. Lee said he was not in the home when the video was filed. But he was charged with three counts of unlawful possession of a firearm.

Both of Braaten’s children, 22-month-old son and 5-year-old child, are now in protective custody while she is in jail on a $5,000 bail.
