NY police: 2 arrested for making toddler smoke pot
 
Police: Two forced 2-year-old to smoke pot | News from The Post-Standard -
State police have charged two adults with child endangerment for forcing a toddler to smoke marijuana. Police were alerted when an eyewitness gave them cell phone photos of the event.
18-year old Kristin Brewster and 22-year old George Lavare Jr., are charged with child endangerment and marijuana possession. Police say they forced Brewster’s two-year-old son to inhale pot.
The witness, Destiny Haust, took pictures of what was happening and sent them to police. We've decided not to show them to you because of the age of the child and the disturbing nature. Some show the suspects getting high; others show an adult holding a pot pipe up to the toddler's mouth. Another one shows his mother blowing smoke right into his mouth.
“First George packed the pipe and put it to Marcus' mouth and he smoked it. The baby actually inhaled it and smoke came out of his mouth. He started crying,” said Destiny Haust when she recounted what happened on Sunday inside her mobile home.
Haust says Kristin then inhaled, and did what's called “shotgunning,” she held the toddler's head and blew the marijuana smoke into it.
Haust says she couldn't believe what was happening, and took pictures with her cell phone as proof.
“She's like, 'Don't you get high with your kids?’ My four- and three-year-olds? What are you crazy? She's like, 'You get them high and they sleep all day,’” Haust said.
Haust made excuses and went to file a report with state police. She also told the park manager, Robin Teneyck.
“Ever since Kristin got here it's been a nightmare in that house,” Teneyck said.
Robin printed the pictures for investigators. “I was devastated to see what they’re doing with this child still in diapers!” she said.
Haust says Brewster taught her toddler to call marijuana "baby" -- that way, he doesn't call it weed or marijuana.
“I know for a fact that I did the right thing. Whether someone else thinks I did the right thing, I saved a kid's life and I know they're both in a safe place right now,” Haust said.
Haust said she didn't know this was happening until she saw it herself on Sunday.
The toddler is now in the custody of his grandmother.
Brewster and Lavare were sent to jail on $5,000 cash bail earlier this week; we're told Lavare posted bail and was released, while Brewster remains in jail.
Both are due back in court next week.
