Police: Mom let toddler smoke pot from a bong
CENTRALIA, Wash. -- A Centralia mother was arrested Friday for allegedly allowing her 22-month old child to smoke marijuana out of a bong.
Police served a search warrant on a Delaware Avenue home Friday afternoon and found 40 marijuana plants and a number of guns.
Officers arrested 25-year-old Tyler J, Lee for manufacture of marijuana and three counts of unlawful possession of a firearm, according to police.
Twenty-four-year-old Rachelle Braaten was also arrested for manufacture of marijuana. While at the home, officers were told that Braaten gave her 22-month son marijuana. Police say she allowed the toddler to inhale pot from a water pipe.
She's now facing an additional charge of delivery of a controlled substance to a minor.
Police seized the pot and guns and Child Protective Services took custody of the couple's two kids.

Long term welfare recipients should be denied the vote until off welfare.  NORPLANT should be included as a welfare precondition.  My daughter works with severely impaired little kids and in every case, the  biological "parents" are impaired with drugs, alcohol, and crime.
@Reis Kash Voting is a right, not a privilege. Only the courts can remove rights for committed crimes. How about just getting rid of welfare in the first place and letting government stay out of the business of charity?Â
Obviously, having reproductive organs does not make someone a good parent.
We've created a culture of "victims" of alcoholism and drug addicition.Â
We've heavily medicated people behavioral issues from anxiety to multiple personalities.
We've provided these same people with social bennies so they can dwell with like-kind in low income blocks, get additional bennies when they reproduce, then draw even more "mommy resources" from counceling, rehab, the court systems. All the while raising confused-unloved dysfunctional stock for the next generation of social service employees to feed off of.  Our predatory government and the sheep they raise at it's finest.Â
That is just about the most horrible thing a person can do. I mean it's bad enough that the parents were smoking pot, let along growing the stuff, but to give a child pot is just unconscionable. Â
As much as I hate seeing family services becoming involved, I honestly don't see how any case could be made to allow those idiots to have access to the children. Those poor kids.Â
@Jerry As I said before, legalizing in Washington and their new law will end up having a thousand new laws because of it. It was not good thinking, but there is a lot of that today.
@souptonuts There are already laws against giving it to minors.
