i am the mother of that baby seriously and he has played with the baby biting his cheeks since he was born he didi it to me to never hard and the marks were gone in a few hours the nurses said the scratches couldve been from the fact that i hadnt got a chance to clip his nails and i dont know if he is telling the truth or not so you all can judge him but until you guys can tell me what happened just think about what if some charge was brought like this what would you think if it really was an accident and how would the other feel if it wasnt

wow. This post is about child abuse. But it looks like people can only focus on the weed. This guy is disgusting and can rot in hell. Point blank.
Poor little baby :(

sry...not as carcinogenic

we dont need a tangent discussion but i can find research that says marijuana smoke is NOT a carcinogen. in fact seriously read this .gov link....

i didnt say it was ok for the kid to ingest marijuana smoke...i said the worst thing that would happen, from the smoke, is that he would catch a little buzz and take a nap. not ok, but that IS the worst that would happen. you admit there are positives from marijuana smoke. did you find any positives for cigarette smoke?? ive never denied the possible negatives of consuming marijuana, and im aware there are 400ish compounds in marijuana smoke. but ill gladly point out that ALL 400 ARE NATURAL. should i google how many ADDITIVES are allowed in cigarettes, or are you aware??:) if you deleted the source which would you rather have in your childs body?? im sure you will read studies about marijuana use leading to harder drugs. i cant imagine there are studies out there regarding second hand marijuana smoke consumed by a 7 month old. couldnt i use the same argument agains the kid ingesting cig smoke?? that the nicotine will lead him pot...which will lead him to harder drugs?? i will say that pot consumption is worse for the child in how the parent will act as it does cause laziness where cigarette smoking typically does not. but if the discussion is wether its better for a 7 month old to ingest marijuana smoke or cigarette smoke...since its WELL documented how PHYSICALLY addictive nicotine is...and how DEBATABLE the physical addiction of marijuana is...this cat just shouldnt have been left alone with this baby in the first place:)

How did he explain the bite marks on the babies back? This is just SICK!!!

So I am making an assumption here, but I think the mother knows what he does for "recreation". She is just as much at fault, IMO...

He's definitely got a few strikes on his record. I don't think he'll be seeing his child for quite a while. Hopefully "mommy" will do better next time?

MrBlack... your post MADE MY DAY!!! hee-hee....

im not sure either about the technical diff tween pot/cigarette smoke...but a quick google search for 'compounds in cigarettes' shows me this...'Some of the compounds found in tobacco smoke include ammonia, tar, and carbon monoxide' or this 'Over 4000 chemical compounds are created by burning a cigarette' and a quick search for 'compounds in marijuana smoke' shows me this....' Marijuana Compound May Stop Breast Cancer From Spreading' or this ' 60 therapeutic compounds in cannabis that are healing agents' or one of the ONLY negatives 'Cannabis smoke contains carcinogens similar to those found in tobacco smoke'. similar...NOT WORSE...the kid(not me:) MAY catch a minimal second hand buzz which would probably just help him nap...but as for the ACTUAL physical effectts of the smoke...ones no worse than the other(accept for the fact that the one that KILLS 400,000+ every year is LEGAL)

'dope smokin tards'. im just curious if one can see the sun with ones head so far up ones...

Mymaro, I don't know the technicalities between the components of second hand smoke of cigarettes vs marijuana, but I do know that they're both not good for the body. In a sense, yes, I'm saying it's the same.
.
For the record I'm not a parent and never will be. Kids aren't my thing. However, I know I could be a much better parent than those breeders out there who don't even do drugs.
.
Also for the record, I'm not a pot smoker.

I smoked weed... so what?
Bush junior was an alcoholic, and Clinton "DID" the White House whore...

What does any of this have to do with the topic?

At 19 years old, he's still really "wet behind the ears", shoulda probably left the wee one at Gma's house. What does a 19 year old boy know about babies? Obviously, "Mommy" and 'Daddy" aren't together so it was probably a case of "back seat" passion... Didn't think they'd MAKE another life form!!!

Idiot kids... put the little one up for adoption. A much better life for the baby and then Mommy and Daddy can go back to their irresponsible lives!!!

proof right there of the previous statement.

typical pot head mentality. Bunch of dope smokin tards.

im not mad at you kennedy:) you just had said that this doesnt help me make my case for pot. that makes it sound like you are closin your mind rite away an blamin the pot...and that surprised me from you cuz thats not change...thats more of the same:)

I agree with the point regarding cigerettes.

Kid, don't be angry with me. I don't think pot made this man an idiot. I'm quite certain he was one beforehand. I do think that he may not have been forced to "elbow" his son to keep him from falling off the bed if he didn't have a bong in his hand. Again, not the pots fault, the morons. I don't care if someone wants to smoke grass. I do care when it's around a child and had a negative effect on them.

good post trojanvirus. as i said earlier when alcohol is involved we tend to blame the person...and when pot is involved we blame the drug. i am by no means condoning the consumption of marijuana around any minor...nor more than i think its ok to consume alcohol(to the point of intoxication) around a minor.
.
gabby: we should see this as a reason why pot shouldnt be legalized?? ummm the fact that its currently illegal didnt keep it out of this ignrorant parents hands...did it?? do you really think this guy would be...dumber...if pot was legal?? nope. what he did would still be a crime and hed still go to jail. you notice he wasnt ticketed AT ALL for anything to do with marijuana...so one could reasonably assume that if pot was legal THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE EXACT SAME SCENARIO. all this story does is show how ridiculous it is that we spend money fighting this 'war on drugs' cuz the drug still gets into the hands of the irresponsible...

"...while I dont think there is anything wrong with smoking a little pot, it is wrong to do it with your baby on the bed with you."
--What about all of the parents who smoke cigarettes around their kids? The only thing wrong I can think of about smoking with the baby on the bed is the fact that it'll be inhaling the smoke too. But isn't that what happens when the parent/relative/whoever is a (cigarette) smoker too?
--Of course this guy is definitely an irresponsible person and the fact that pot was involved is going to give the drug more of a bad rep. Drugs set aside, this guy shouldn't be a parent.
--The pot didn't influence this guy's behavior. That's the difference between pot and alcohol. Most things that people do while drunk, they don't do when sober. Most things that people do when high, they'll also do sober.

gabby, perhaps you got left out of the loop, but the use of POT inhibits one's reaction time and also alters their perception. If he was reading and used his elbow, then it would truly be an accident. But to know that you are in charge of the safety and well-being of someone as helpless as a newborn and knowingly sit there and smoke it - sheer irresponsibility and stupidity.

It is wrong to smoke around your children. I stopped when I got pregnant and haven't touched it since. Yes I miss doing it sometimes but my daughter is FAR more important to me. I just think the 'anti-pot' bloggers will see this and say 'hey this is why pot shouldn't be legalized!' This guy is a low life and I hope the child's mother does something about his visitation rights.

They'll be "nibbling" on his cheeks in prison

Forrest Gump says" Stupid is as stupid does"
Hope that kid got some of moms genetics if they are any better.

What would you be writing if he was reading a magazing and used his elbow? Or maybe holding another child and used his elbow to stop the kid from falling? Granted I think this guy is a low life. But I'm sick of everyone blaming POT. 'oh poor baby, it was the pots fault.' Screw that. If I were to smoke I surely would have dropped that bong to catch my kid. I'm sure he didn't even try to stop it.

makes one wonder if the mother was aware of the father's habit.

Some people shouldn't have kids... I agree, neuter the LOSER! (Then lock him up for a very long time with a guy name Buba who likes to give "love bites".)

"Neuter this guy now, before he has any more kids!" The neutering process should leave bite marks too!

Neuter this guy now, before he has any more kids! What a complete idiot!

Amen kid.

lakennedy please tell me how this story has ANYTHING to do with me wanting legal pot?? do you really think pot made this guy who he is?? this guy is obviously ignorant and could have just as easily been drinking a beer on the bed watching a game. drunk drivers we always blame the people but when something happens involving pot we blame the drug.

What???
I don't know where to begin here. I certainly hope he didn't spill his bong water when trying to elbow his son onto the bed again. There has to be a special place in hell for this kind of stupid.

This definitely isn't going to help thekids case for pot.
