"A woman has been arrested in America after footage was found on her mobile phone of her two-year-old daughter apparently smoking marijuana" -- Telegraph.co.uk
What the heck? This was the first thing came up in my mind when I saw this on the news. I was too shocked to realize what the mother has said in the video. However, as I watched the video again on YouTube, I caught the words "don't blow on it," and "bad". Also, I caught the mother's laughter, sounded satisfied and proud. I felt disgusted then. What is it to be proud about if your 2-year-old daughter smokes marijuana? What was the mother thinking about?
"It is everyone's first time to be a parent," a friend of my parents told me when I complained about my parents to her, "they've been trying their best to do it right." Her words made me stop complaining because I know what she said was true. I found a book called How to be a Parent on my father's bookshelf before. I thought it was funny, but I was also touched because I knew he bought the book because of me. He wanted to be a good parent, and he wanted to do it right, which was why he needed a book to teach him, that's all. However, because of this memory, it has become more confusing that a mother would teach her own daughter to smoke marijuana -- an action which may cause various health problems, such as heart attack and lung infections. I do not see how it is "trying to do it [to be a parent] right".
I have noticed the dressing of the little girl and the house in the background while watching the video. The little girl's dress seems too big for her, and the house seems dark, small, and unadorned. It is quite obvious that it isn't a wealthy family, and as most of us would agree, that poverty causes the lack of education, which causes recklessness in people's behavior. Perhaps, this is why the mother teaches her 2-year-old daughter to smoke marijuana. She might not know how dangerous marijuana could be when inhaled to one's body. I don't know... I really don't understand what the mother was thinking when she gave her daughter marijuana. Somebody should teach her that this is not right!

I feel kind of sad when i hear about this kind of stuff. I don't think the mother of this child directly taught her daughter how to smoke Marijuana. It was more like a influence that a mother or father has on their child. If the mom smokes the Marijuana then the kid would think that its is okay to do so. They mom is indirectly teaching her kid to smoke Marijuana, which is why people always say that the adults have to set a good example for their kids. If every adult do bad things in front of their child, like smoking or drinking, then it is more likely the their child will do it as well. Perhaps the mother of this daughter was raised up with a mother that smoked Marijuana as well. That might explain why she allows her child to smoke Marijuana as well.
Stories like these make me wonder if there is something wrong in today's world that wasn't there in the past. Did things like this happen when I was a boy? When my parents were children?
Your blog reminds me of two other stories I read about: a two year old in Indonesia who smokes a pack of cigarettes a day and a YouTube video of eight year olds shooting up heroin in Russia. It makes me sick that things like these are happening to children.

Parenting class should be required. And some people should not have the PRIVILEGE to have children, nuff said.
