Father Arrested, Girlfriend Charged After 4 Year-Old Says He Smoked Marijuana With Them September 28, 2005 - newschannel5.com
The boy told a Rutherford County Sheriff's deputy that he smoked the drug with his dad and his dad's girlfriend, and he showed the deputy where the drug was kept in the house.
Christopher McKee, 32, is the child's father. After the boy's allegation, McKee was arrested and charged with growing marijuana after deputies said they found nine marijuana plants on his property. McKee's girlfriend, Lora Yocum, was cited for simple possession.
Rutherford County sheriff's deputies went to Christopher McKee's home two weeks ago after a referral from the department of children's services.
"Patrol units went out to this home and looked at the conditions of the house. They saw some drugs in the house, did a search, we found plants," said Chuck Thomas of the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department.
A sheriff's deputy said it was at that point that the four year-old told him he smoked marijuana with his father and his father's girlfriend.
"I've never heard of a four year-old, that's early, the youngest I've heard of any child being around or saying they smoked it. I don't know if they technically smoked it. He was probably there when it happened, which is bad enough," Thomas said.
After McKee's arrest, DCS took the three children living in the home, including the 4 year old. Yocum said the children were only held for a few days before they were returned.
Yocum denied the charges that the boy smoked marijuana, saying, "If I was some kind of drug addict I wouldn't get to see my children. I have all of them back. I know it's illegal, but it's better than crack and them other drugs," she said.
DCS is still investigating the case and officials from the agency said they would return to McKee's home in 60 days and administer drug tests.

Ask a four year old if he remembers the time he flew in the UFO, or anything strange and most of the time they answer yes...

Unfortunately I've been around people giving kids of that age tokes once. I was with this guy and he justified it by saying that he "fully endorses weed" and the little guy did seem to enjoy having a couple tokes and then going out skateboarding.
That's way too young though, kids don't need to be spacing out in kindergarden.

It said in the article though that the kid didn't actually smoke anything...by 'smoked marijuana with them' it meant he was there when they smoked it or at least knew that they smoked it.
So typical of the media to try to bend the story at the start (the bit that most of the innatentitive readers get through before giving up) and then unclearly sidestep the truth later on.

You replied to my post yet it seems you did not read it...the kid didn't smoke pot!
"I've never heard of a four year-old, that's early, the youngest I've heard of any child being around or saying they smoked it. I don't know if they technically smoked it. He was probably there when it happened, which is bad enough," Thomas said.
