3-year old brings marijuana to day care to share with friends


RALEIGH - A Raleigh woman was charged with misdemeanor child abuse after her 3-year-old son showed up at his day care with marijuana, court records show.

Channel 9’s newspaper partner, the Herald in Rock Hill, reports that the child thought the marijuana, which was packaged in small portions, was candy and asked his fellow preschoolers to eat it. A teacher at the day care took the drugs before any of the children could eat them, according to an arrest warrant filed Tuesday at the Wake County Magistrate's Office.

Lakesha Mials told a magistrate Tuesday that she had no idea where her son found the two plastic bags of marijuana. She said he may have found it outside her home.

"I don't smoke drugs. I don't sell drugs. I don't receive drugs," Mials said in court.

12. When marijuana is legalized, this will be no less acceptable. Kids and drugs don't mix.

Just sharing the love, what a nice kid.

15. When was the 3 year old out of her sight long enough to pic up the bags of marijuana?
Sounds like someone in the home had a side business

In my 30 odd years of smoking I have never once just "found" some weed.

27. Groundscore, man!
Just stroll around the lot or campground at a music festival just as dawn is breaking. You wouldn't believe what kind of shit you can find. Well, maybe you would.
:)

Not that it explains this story. I'm guessing it was mom's, maybe a couple dime bags or something. Maybe she was dealing, maybe just smoking, who knows...

34. I have, twice! Once doesn't count because it was at a
Grateful Dead show. The other one was when I was with a friend and he saw a car for sale parked on the grass outside a business that was closed because it was Sunday. Right under the driver's door there was a bag of weed, just laying there. And I was with the same friend walking to the car from Montgomery Ward one day when we found a bong in the bushes. There was nobody around so he took it home and eventually it became mine. It was beautiful, clear glass with yellow roses. My ex-husband broke it, like he does all glass implements, lol.

17. The day I was to give my first poetry reading, I got a call from my son's school.
The principal said, my son brought a bag of white powder to school and said it was cocaine and offered it to kids on the play ground. He said he had called the police and was turning over the evidence.

????!!!!?????

So, I leave the English Dept at Cal and don't give the reading, and go get my kid. I'd never even seen cocaine so I had no clue in the world what was going on. The kid is eight.

It turns out that while I was doing homework, the kid had been watching Cops. He wasn't happy at school and I guess he needed to get some attention so he took a bag of sugar to school. The principal greets me at the school main entrance and he's like casing me for signs of drug use. Oh, geeze.

Thinking back, maybe I could have used something to perk me up, you know? Enough to be able to cover all the bases at the time. And I owe a black eye to my Cop producer friend for setting me up that way.

lol

18. fake dope
In some jurisdictions, it is even MORE illegal to sell fake dope than real dope. You are lucky they didn't haul your child in for trying to pass off sugar as dope.

23. My brother did something similar
When he was in the 4th grade, with rolling papers and tobacco. Except that being the entrepreneur, he was selling his "joints" at $1 each. Luckily, this was in pre-DARE days: The principal told my mom she wasn't sure whether to laugh or give him detention.

when being human wasn't a felony.

25. I remember one day my older friends came to my house
while my mom was at work and decided to take the can of pain thinner and pour it on the side walk so we could see the rainbows. My grandmother was upstairs and she never heard a thing. Did you know there were rainbows in paint thinner?! They were smart kids. They poured it toward the drain but not too close so we could see it really good before it went in.

That's got to be a CPS call, right there!

lol

37. Are you saying it would be better for a 3yr old
to have alcohol? If not then we are in agreement except for one thing. Marijuana is safer than alcohol. That was the point you missed.

33. I feel bad for that kid. Poor guy thought he was doing something nice, and now his mom is in
trouble. She should have kept it away from her kids. I don't for a second believe he found it outside.

38. Does he deliver in this area?
Edited on Fri Dec-17-10 06:27 PM by Ezlivin
We can't even get a damned pizza delivered properly.

This kid will either be a millionaire by the time he's 20 or in prison. Either way, he's set for life.

(Apologies to Joel and Ethan Coen.)
