The View From Drew

Mother allows two year old to smoke pot.  Besides being a poorly written piece, it fails to mention, as I saw on the news this morning, the mother who has the little girl temporarily taken away from her as she attends parenting classes. 

Parenting classes? 

To them, this is simply a matter of, "Oh you didn't know this is what you should do with a child?  We'll fix that with a parenting class." 

How about dealing with the fact that the 18 year old mother is smoking pot at all! 

Now, I'm not saying I'm against pot or anything, but there is a time and a place and it's not when you're with your 2 year old!  Parenting classes isn't going to correct that!
