Some folks are in trouble for encouraging their two year old to smoke cigarettes and drink tequila. In my opinion it's never too early to teach your kids about alcohol and tobacco. These people are wonderful parents. They're letting their daughter learn first hand about the dangers of booze and smokes. Getting the usual teenage mistakes out of the way early so that she'll have a less traumatic adolescence.

I hope you are being sarcastic/joking.

I think 2 years old is a LITTLE too young.Sure,7 or 8 maybe.But the kid's a toddler.He/she probably doesn't comprehend what they are.

What absolute fucking low-lives. Proof that having children shouldnt be a right, it should be a privilege.

The stupidity and ignorance of video-taping it is the icing on a really fucked-up cake.

And then trying to laugh it off with the cops, too. If a person really does only get 15 minutes of fame, what a lousy way to achieve it.

Peice of s*** parents piss me off. Ruin your own life, that's fine by me (as long as you aren't on public assistance). But Jesus God, stop ruining your children's lives. At least give them a chance at a healthy life.

what idiots! :mad:

I sincerely hope you are joking. Yes, we need to be upfront to kids and tell them everything. Yes, if they will understand the individual words, tahts early enough. But what these two are doing is putting a young, impressionable, physically and mentally weak child onto an addictive substance damaging to the child and anyone who comes near her while she smokes.

If she dies of cancer of liver failure, they should be tried for manslaughter. And if they're just plain sick, rather than stupid, and know all this, they should be tried for murder.

Our dear friend Drunk Commies Deleted never jokes around about religion, sex, drugs or alcohol and especially not good parenting. :p

Wait a minute. You're not her parent. She may be a very mature 2 year old. She may be ready to handle booze and cigarettes. Who are you to make decisions for her?

God bless you and your sense of wonderful humor.:D

It's physical. A two year old is more vulnerable to the harmful effects of the substances and more easily becomes addicted.

Nonetheless, I salute your effort! *Solemly presents Most Devious Counterargument award*

To answer your question, who I am to make her decisions is an evil oppressive libservanazi. And a foreigner!

I was given a cigarette when i was 5 and after that experience I'm sure I'll never start smoking.

See Boozia? Maybe her parents were being responsible after all. They were only trying to keep their kid off tobacco and alcohol.

You have a point, but I'm afraid I feel it my duty as a libservanazi to say that the best method for keeping a child off something is to punish them in a legal fashion for getting on to it.

Then again, considering the "Rebel without a cause! It's awesome!" mentality that seems to be spreading among others of my age (13), your argument gains merit. I surrender.

So they should give them the smokes and booze then lock them in a closet for a week? Just kidding.:D

Oh, people shouldn't get too unduly bent out of shape over something like this. When I was three, I'd scarf down any drink an adult left unattended - beer being a favourite. I never felt drunk. I think my metabolism burned off the booze or something.

That's legal where you live?

Legal? No
Fun? Yes

I've always wondered how old a chimp has to be to smoke or drink-you ofetn see chimps on TV or in commercials smoking cigars-Are they 18 yrs old?

Of course they are, there'd be huge uproar from the animal rights movement is an underage monkey was forced to smoke.

Legal? No

Oh? So, what did you enjoy about being locked in the cupboard for a week?

I hope you are being sarcastic/joking.

No shit, Sherlock. Anyway, these idiots should be sterilized. They obviously can't raise a child.

These people should be forced to wear an "I'm Stupid" sign so large it would make Bill Engvall say "DAAAAAAAAMN!" Yes, most kids are given a small amount of beer or something when they are young...but not when they are 2, it's not videotaped, the adults aren't even jokingly trying to get them drunk, the purpose is to make the kids realize how God-awful the shit tastes, and there are generally no cigarettes involved in the matter.

People like this shouldn't be allowed to raise a ficus plant, let alone a child.

Finding Narnia and neutering Aslan.

You're right, that's awesome! I need to try that sometime!

Ah, Narnia. There's so many ways to screw it up! Napoleonic invasion! Nazi invasion! Importing of heavy metal!

After all, who knows where that wardrobe ended up...

If parents smoke, and their child dies from secondhand smoke, should they be tried for manslaughter/murder?


I'm just interested in your opinion. I'm not going to say mine.

In my opinion, yes. But I'm probably biased since I have lung problems due to exposure to second-hand smoke.

Yeah. They, through their actions, directly caused the accidental death. Sure, they're addicts. People who kill their children in a drunken rage are addicts: we try them. Or at least we should.
