Parents Used Pot As "Bargaining Tool"

MAY 6--A Florida couple used marijuana as a “bargaining tool” to get their teenage daughters--ages 13 and 14--to perform household chores and excel in school, police allege.
Joey and Chad Mudd are facing multiple felony child abuse charges, court records show. The children were provided the pot, investigators say, in the family’s home in Largo, a city 20 miles from Tampa Bay.
Chad Mudd, 36, has also been charged with providing the girls with cocaine, which he allegedly snorted with them earlier this year while the trio was inside his truck.
According to arrest affidavits, Joey Mudd, 34, admitted to smoking pot with her children on five occasions, and referred to the provision of the drug “as a form of a ‘bargaining tool.’”
Charged with two counts of child abuse, Mudd was released from the Pinellas County jail early this morning after posting $5000 bond. She has been ordered to have no contact with her children, who are in the care of a a relative.
Court records list Mudd’s employer as a pediatrics care practice.
Chad Mudd, a restaurant worker, remains locked up on six counts of child abuse and a cocaine possession count.

Cocaine is wrong, If it was not for the cocaine I would say the state is committing a crime, Marijuana can support family values if used properly.

Yeah if parents are allowed to let their kids drink if they so choose cannabis should not be a problem. I really hope however the coke part is not true...

Straight up. Giving your kid any drug at 13 or 14 is fucked. I understand introducing them to a small amount of alcohol or weed when they're nearing the end of high school and teaching them responsibility, but not middle school.

We all live under the same legal system. In the US it isn't acceptable behavior.
Maybe in some other countries or living systems like in the amazon rainforest or in some hovel in the 3rd world.
Doing any illegal drug with any minor is a no-no. Hell even drinking alcohol with anyone under 21 isn't a smart idea.
Basically you can't smoke weed with your kids unless they are over 18 21. and it is legal where you live.

And it is OK if you are a parent and smoke weed. It is no big deal.
But you aren't a responsible parent if you smoke weed with your minor kids cuz they can get taken away. So be responsible and keep your kids safe.
It isn't right but it is the world we live in. Until things change keep yours and your family safe from the crazies and lock up your weed and toke in private until your kids are 18.
It is silly but lots of parents smoke weed and their kids have no idea. But when their kids are all grown up they find out later that their folks did or used to smoke weed or were smoking the whole time.

Yeah, moderation is key. I use coke about one day per year because I like the buzz but feel like shit afterwards. I smoke roughly one joint everyday though because I like the buzz and I feel fine afterwards, lol.
Also, people almost always look like shit in their mugshots. Also, the potential of a photo getting photo-shopped gets higher the more sensationalized it becomes.
