Uncle teaches 2 and 5 year-old nephews to
smoke weed
A 17-year-old faces a felony charge of injury to a child after police found a videotape that appears to show him and another man teaching his 2 and 5 year-old nephews to smoke marijuana.
The video shows two children being taught to smoke marijuana and the men encouraging them to 'get high'. A man can be seen placing a marijuana cigarette into a baby's mouth and, in another part of the video, a different boy is shown smoking on his own.
"The video contains disturbing images of the young children being badgered into smoking a marijuana cigar, according to a release from the Watauga Department of Public Safety.
The bail for Demetris McCoy, 17, was set at $150,000 (aprox £80,000).
Police found the video while investigating McCoy and Vanswan Polty, 18, in connection with some area burglaries. Polty faces burglary charges and is free on $22,000 bail (aprox £11,000), according to court records.
The children have been in the custody of Child Protective Services, a spokeswoman said.
Unfortunately, more and more children in this world are being exploited and led towards danger. Parents nowadays have more to worry about with the world changing so fast for the worst. However, your prayers can have a huge influence on your child's life. Come to pray for your child on 31st August at the Blessing of the Children at your nearest UCKG Helpcentre.
