[QUOTE] [B]A mother from [URL="http://www.thelocal.se/tag/Malm%F6"]Malmö[/URL] in southern Sweden, charged with forcing her 3-year-old son to smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol at a party last year, has confessed to all charges but was unable to offer the court any explanation why she acted the way she did.[/B] “She had no explanation. She had drunk alcohol and smoked cannabis,” said prosecutor Klas Norelius to local paper Skånskan. At the party, which took place in June last year, the 3-year-old boy was filmed as he was urged to smoke a cigarette given to him by his mother. “Take a toke then you little… inhale then… come on now. Inhale a little. Light it up now, for goodness sake, get the damned thing going,” the mother said according to the transcript. Some other party goers then gave the boy a can of beer. The mother did not protest. They started joking about what would happen if the social services found out The mother allegedly told the boy not to tell them, called him a squealer and a snitch and flicked her fingers at his head. In questioning, the adults present at the incident have said that it wasn’t beer in the can but water and that the 3-year-old was given a cigarette so as to feel “nauseous and dizzy” and develop distaste for tobacco. However, the district court charged the woman with reckless behaviour, bootlegging and narcotics crimes. She has reportedly confessed to all three. The prosecutor had initially hoped to charge the woman with child abuse, but her reckless behaviour in letting her child smoke and drink together with actively blowing smoke at her son was not deemed enough to prove she was abusing her child, according to the paper. The fact that the incident was caught on camera meant that the prosecution had a strong case against the woman. The prosecution is demanding the woman is fined and according to Norelius, it is important that the woman is convicted. The mother’s defence lawyer has argued that parents are allowed to let their children try alcohol in some instances. “He will have to speak for himself, but in my opinion you should never offer alcohol to a 3-year-old,” said Norelius to Skånskan.

"I have a great idea! Let's give all our 3 year olds cigarettes so they'll see how terrible it is and then they won't smoke in the future! What a great plan, ignoring why people start smoking in the first place." Dumb shits.

Like it or not most people smoke out of choice not some BS about social conditioning.

[QUOTE=Negrul1;35307539]suuuuuure.[/QUOTE] Haven't you heard? Instead of just having chicken-pox parties parents are now having cigarette parties so none of their kids get addicted to smoking when they're older

In Texas this would have been perfectly legal (I shit you not)
That kid is going to be so cool when he gets older.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;35311168]yeah except in practice, i have never once seen that actually used, of course anecdotal evidence, but i know a bunch of people who got fined for drinking with their parents[/QUOTE] Not my fault they are too stupid to contest the tickets using the defense provided to them by State Law, and not my problem you have shitty cops and DAs in your area.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;35311168]yeah except in practice, i have never once seen that actually used, of course anecdotal evidence, but i know a bunch of people who got fined for drinking with their parents[/QUOTE] Broseph_ has a serious point though. These are the things lawyers pretty much use to get people out of shit like this. It's dirty, wrong, but 'the law is the law' and that's how it'll be looked at. Still would fall under child abuse I think though.
