Absolutely ridiculous. Posting it on facebook though, wow, how stupid can you get? Snitching on them did no favors for the family either.

The kid should not have had access to the MMJ, but the father should not have acted the way he did either. But 2 plants in such a minor stage of growth??? Now, back to the bag of weed, again the child had no business having access to it , I am not sure I agree with all the charges but some were warranted….Just my opinion….
