(CBS) PALMETTO, Ga. - Palmetto police are looking for a grandmother who is only 34 years old, and her boyfriend, after her 13-month-old grandson was taken to the hospital for ingesting cocaine, CBS Atlanta reports.

Active warrants were issued Monday for 34-year-old Ebony Daniel and her 22-year-old boyfriend Charlie Martin. Palmetto Police Sgt. Lee Gragg said they are both charged with possession of cocaine, cruelty to children and reckless conduct.

Meanwhile, the child's 17-year-old mother is considered a witness and has not been charged, Gragg said.

Police said the mother brought the toddler to Piedmont Newman Hospital after the boy ingested cocaine at the home of the boy's grandmother and her boyfriend. He was then transported to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Eggleston, where he tested positive for cocaine.

The boy was released from the hospital and is expected to survive. Investigators said Monday they were awaiting toxicology reports to determine how much cocaine he ingested.

Palmetto police executed a search warrant at the grandmother's home on Saturday night, and "evidence was found and collected at the residence," Gragg said.

He did not provide further details.

You have got to be kidding me!!! Seems that this is just a continuing example of the trash that is running wild in this country!!! Hey grandma, maybe you should have told your trashy daughter to keep her pants on and not get into the SAME situation that you put yourself in not so long ago. But hey, no problem 'cause the rest of the country will pay for all of your defile living. AND I BET YOU VOTE FOR OBAMA TOO so you can keep taking money from people who wotk for it since you obviously don't!!!
