Tape allegedly shows teen teaching nephews, 2 and 5, how to smoke marijuana
Video
(3/03/07 - WATAUGA, TX) - 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, police said.
The video shows two children being taught to smoke marijuana and the men encouraging them to "get high," police said. 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, commonly referred to as a 'blunt,"' according to a release from the Watauga Department of Public Safety.
The bail for Demetris McCoy, 17, was set at $150,000. He remained in jail Friday night, police said.
Police found the video Feb. 22 while investigating McCoy and Vanswan Polty, 18, in connection with some area burglaries. Polty faces burglary charges and is free on $22,000 bail, according to court records.
The children have been in the custody of Child Protective Services since last week, a spokeswoman said.

I understand the severity of this and how it looks for those of us users who don't pull stupid shit like this, but something bothers me about the bail. $150'000 for making a couple of kids smoke pot and only $20'000 for breaking into someone's house and stealing their shit? I'm not saying I agree with what happened but doesn't the weed offence seem a bit excessive, at least compared to the burglary charge? Fair enough if it's being deemed as child abuse but in that light I think the burglary charge should at least be higher than it is. Just IMO anyway.

Im pretty sure they were taking the child endangerment and the contributing to the delinquency of a minor into consideration when setting bail too, not just posession or use.

Texas teen who passed pot to toddlers gets 8 years
July 24, 2008 - chron.com
FORT WORTH, Texas — One of the two teenagers caught on video coaxing two young children into smoking marijuana was sentenced to eight years in prison by a Fort Worth jury on Thursday.
Demetris McCoy, 18, pleaded guilty to two charges of injury to a child/causing bodily injury and agreed with prosecutors to testify against his co-defendant, Vanswan Polty, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported in its online edition Thursday.
While conducting a search at a Watauga home, Fort Worth police said they found a videotape of two teens handing marijuana to two children who were 2- and 4-years-old at the time. McCoy is the children's uncle. If his case had gone to trial and he had been convicted, McCoy would have faced a maximum of 10 years in prison.
Drug tests performed on the children revealed they had marijuana and cocaine in their system. The children have since been placed in foster care.
"I think Mr. McCoy recognized that a Tarrant County jury was not going to stand for his behavior and he did the proper thing by taking responsibility for his actions," Prosecutor Darrell Davila told the paper.
McCoy also pleaded guilty to two charges of burglary of a habitation and received eight years in each of those cases. All the sentences will run at the same time, the paper reported.
Polty, 19, remains in the Tarrant County Jail awaiting trial. He faces two charges of injury to a child, three charges of burglary of a habitation and one charge of failing to identify himself to a peace officer.
The children's mother, 21-year-old Shatorria Russell, was asleep in a back bedroom and didn't know what was going on, police have said. She was not arrested.

> She was not arrested.
Why not? Ultimately, she is the one at fault for leaving a bunch of children unattended.
