Teenagers allegedly gave pot and beer to a six year old

Posted by Brett Singer

Beer bong - does this look like something a 6 year old should be using? Three teenagers in Vernon NY thought it was.From the "WTF" files (actually, 1010 WINS news radio) comes this story:

Three teenagers are accused of giving marijuana and beer to a 6-year-old and videotaping the intoxicated youngster for their amusement in Vernon. The two 17-year-olds and a 16-year-old are charged with child endangerment. They will also likely face drug offenses, police said.

The teenagers were sitting around drinking and toking up and figured it would be funny to give the pipe to someone's little brother. Then they fed the little guy beer through a funnel. I'm saying "allegedly" because that's what you do in these stories, but according to 1010 WINS, one of the parents discovered four videos on one of the teens' cell phone that shows the whole incident.

While the "6-year-old is being screened for psychological and substance abuse problems," I think the three teenagers should be screened for the former as well. This certainly sounds like evidence of psychological problems to me.

These kids should be given community service with disabled children. Their "prank" could possibly have injured this child beyond remediation. Nice family values.
