You know what, this race issue is getting rediculous. These are 2 young children we are talking about. It does not matter what race these children are. Give me a break that the "Saddest part of this whole thing is people will see the video and just focus on what color they are". "thenamesdave"......Yes I'm talking to you. What about the saddest thing being the children?????? THINK!!!!! It is people like you that keep the race issue going. GROW UP! How would you like it if someone gave your kids (if you have any) POT??? I myself have 2 kids (2&6) and if this happen to them (well first of all I wouldn't LEAVE my kids with Juvies.....Where is the MOTHER or FATHER??? Grow up people, grow up. Bringing up the race issue like that you are probebly young and a troubled kid your self....

Everybody is so quick to video tape everything. It does come back to haunt you, doesn't it? So much for everyone's 15 minutes of fame.

Tragic enough that these teenagers did this...but to capture it on video, too?

:O

[rohink-2009]

To turn this into a race thing is ridiculous. Excuses, excuses. There are no absolutes anymore, everything is relative. It depends on what your definition of is is. ( We can thank the liberals for that) We as a society are losing our morals. Wake up people. There is such a thing as good or bad, right or wrong. Let's start doing the right thing. Where were the parents? Where are the positive role models?

[wendyhoo-2009]

Oh god are you serious... is this really going to become a race thing. WHo gives a *** about the skin color... we are talking about a GOD *** 2 YR OLD being given pot... I am sure dumb *** like this happens in all races. Don't bring this to a race issue it is about a child.

You know it has nothing to do with being BLACK
or any other color I read the arc. and didn't see anything bout it saying being black. The fact is there was two black kids playing with two babies lives. at that age a child is growing and learning.They don't need the help of two kids killing their hopes and dreams. The effects of this drug is alot on two babies. It has nothing to do with with color. Everybody sees nothing but COLOR.

You know what? It's true. It's because they are BLACK that this is getting the attention of the media.

If you believe that, then...

Pot use is almost always associated with BLACK.
Meth use is almost always associated with WHITE.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sarcasm~~~~~~~~~
Stop trying to make it a race thing. It's about teens abusing young children. It's about teenaged boys smoking pot, while granny works to support their lazy butts. If I were granny, I'd kick these ungrateful boys to the curb. I can't wait to see what details about the mother and father's whereabouts come to light.

Every thing such as smoking and drinking and even a CT scan kills many cells at this age and this cells do not grow back.

Excuse me this ... should be these cells do not grow back.

[wendyhoo-2009]

I am disgusted!!! I have a two year old or soon to be two year old. Someone better be watching over my family member if I ever found someone doing this or anything harmful to my child. It is not just about the point the 2 year old was smoking pot. REALLY the bad situation here is the brain cells that have been affected by this. At this age children are not developed fully in the brain and I don't think it takes a brain surgeon to know this. Every thing such as smoking and drinking and even a CT scan kills many cells at this age and this cells do not grow back. This child depending on how many times they have made this kid smoke pot can seriously be damaged learning wise as he gets older. Shame on the teens and shame on the parents who were not even mentioned. Probably don't have custody themselves for similar reasons.

[robjk1-2009]

They are teenagers, not much will happen, probably.

[robjk1-2009]

What does black got to do with it?

[thenamesdave]

The saddest part of this whole thing is that so many people will see the video and be unable to get around the fact that the people involved are black.

[burlykatz]

I am the mother of a 2 year old and the thought of ANYONE doing this, especially a family member, to my son makes me ill! I hope those little pot-smoking *** get punished to the full extent of the law for what they did to those little babies! This makes me absolutely sick!

[amandasw1]

"I'm very upset about it. I didn't raise them like that and they know I didn't raise them like that," Russell said. "I feel terrible about it, it's outrageous, all the things that went on and I didn't know nothing about them."

I call BS on the entire thing. Granny knew they smoked pot... Everyone should get the maximum.
This is exactly why it will never be legalized.

[olebd]

No mention of where mom and dad of the teens are. Seems that grandma raised them but had to work to keep them fed and clothed.

I hope these idiots get maximum punishment for this stunt.
