20-year-old Krystle Leigh Weber smokes out with 2-year-old son
20-year-old Krystle Leigh Weber initially rejected the idea of her 2-year-old son “taking a hit”. But apparently this didn’t last long as she had soon, with her camera-phone, created three videos of him staggering around with a blunt.
Hey mommy, are you retarded?
Krystle tells police she knows what she did was wrong. No duh? I’m sure they’re gonna make her learn this lesson real good with the 3 charges they’re bringing her up on.
(thanks for the tip kelly)

I don’t care how much pot anyone of us has or has not smoked. This woman obviously lives a life of drugs. What she did to her baby is inexcusable. She is his protector and mother and should not have let one single person influence her. If she was smoking pot at the time, and usually does, then I am sure she wasn’t in the right mindset at the time. A 20 year old partying pot smoker probably shouldn’t have a child at this point in her life but since she does then she needs to sit down and think about what matters most and start acting like a responsible mature adult. She says she knows what she did was wrong, well that makes it even worse. She knew it was wrong and let it happen anyway. He could have died or be physically harmed for life, was she ready for that?? This type of person is tough to change.

Thank you Pak. She seriously didn’t need a child. Probably is one of those girls who got pregnant to try to save a teenage romance – Not thinking that a baby would put a damper on her partying. Well – Now jail should put a damper on it. Stupid bitch. At least they should take the baby. Then she can carry on with her life and let the child be raised by someone more capable. She should not have custody.

We just seem to have a fundamental disagreement about human nature. You seem to think that breaking the law is “natural” for most people. I believe, based on my own experience, that it’s actually an aberration.
I think it’s more that human nature dictates our imperfection. I have to agree with cary on this one. It’s pretty impossible to go thru life without breaking laws. You may not have done it itentionally (the example you gave of a speeding ticket is perfect) but it still happens.
I also agree with his statements about RESPONSIBLE pot use. And I disagree that (exclusively) using that particular drug increases your likelihood of breaking other laws in general.
Just MHO

Kathy, so your rights are more important than someone who makes the choice to smoke? Why? I loved Germany because (with my two year old) I realized that responsibe parents make the right descisions for their chilren without the government having to do it for me (and I’m a better parent for it). I remembered the ideals that made this country great (freedom, liberty, and the right to persue happiness). Most of all, I fear for my children not learning right from wrong because people like you are deciding that for them.
October 24th, 2007 at 4:27 pm
Lisa – I have to agree with Kathy. People who smoke impose the dangers on other people. It’s not like smoking in their care, where the smoke is contained to harm just them. second hand smoke is offensive and harmful. So, while your righ in that people have the right to CHOOSE to smoke – Why does that make it okay for them to impose it on people who choose an obviously healthier lifestyle?? Think about it. I don’t think it’s fair that I have to walk through a cloud of smoke at the local Target store with my son because the employees sit by the door to smoke on their break. It’s disgusting and not at all fair to my child who has asthma. His rights are being violated at that point. It would be different if there were more curtious smokers that didn’t impose their vile habits on others.

“I realized that responsibe parents make the right descisions for their chilren without the government having to do it for me”
Ummm, YEAH and my responsible parenting means I am not exposing my child or myself to secondhand smoke. This is my choice. When someone around me decides to smoke, they are basically making that decision for me too. Sorry, but that is just as bad as any law making you NOT smoke. Except for the fact that those laws are probably doing you and your lungs a big favor.
“I remembered the ideals that made this country great (freedom, liberty, and the right to persue happiness).”
What about MY freedom? What about my freedom not to have to endure the enormous medical bills etc that my mother now has to deal with as an adult because of someone else’s decision to smoke? What about my freedom to have and enjoy a meal in a smoke free environment?
“Most of all, I fear for my children not learning right from wrong because people like you are deciding that for them.”
What am I deciding for them? Smoking? No, I am deciding for myself. I do not want to live in a smoking environment, so I choose to vote and spend my money at establishments that believe the same way I do. Seriously, do you really think smoking or not smoking is teaching them right from worng? What about the laws against murder? Do you think they are not learning right from wrong because of there are laws against murder?
I’ll say it again, I don’t think there should be laws completely banning smoking, I just want to be protected from smokers. You can make the decision to endanger your health for you and your children, just don’t try to make that decision for me and mine.
This makes me wonder, what do you think about the peanut free zones at school? My daughter is not allowed to bring any peanut products to school because of a handful of kids that have severe peanut allergies. Should we just let those kids suffer, maybe even end up hospitalized because my daughter loves peanut butter? After all, shouldn’t her freedom to enjoy peanut butter override anyone else’s freedom to remain in good health?
October 25th, 2007 at 7:57 am
Peanut free zone??? Really??? Hmmmmm. I have never heard of that. Interesting. It makes sense though. My son is free to take peanut butter (whatever) in his lunch – but I know that for parties we can’t provide products that have peanuts in them. We can only bring store bought items and they have to have an ingredients list on them. Peanut free zone seems a little extreme. You would think that they would just not allow sunch sharing and know the children with the allergies need special attention to assure that they are not eating other childrens lunches.
Sorry to change the subject. You already know that I’m with you (Kathy) on the smoking thing.
October 26th, 2007 at 2:22 pm
The only problem with all this crap about second hand smoke and people bashing smokers is the amount of of smoke you’re getting from me pales in comparison to the pollution you’re breathing from other sources.
It’s just apitty you can’t smell all the shit in the air, or see it much of the time. it’s so easy to bitch about my cigg smoke. You see it and smell it.
Are you so worried about your son’s asthma that you’ve given up cars? what about other sources of air pollution? the very generation of electricity causes tons of pollution.
I respect your right not to smoke, and i respect it to the point that I decline to smoke IN MY OWN HOUSE if I have visitors that do not smoke (yes including children).
It just pisses me off that there is no respect returned. Target employees sitting right at the doorway smoking,t hey’re assholes and have no respect, and deserve none.
I however am not that kind of person. These laws being passed about not being able to smoke in public are just plain fucked up. Sorry, but that’s how I see it.
What about the disturbing images of all these kids who don’t get off their video gaming butts, who eat everything and anything they want, they weigh 400 lbs before they’re 20, they’re hard to look at. What about my right to be “pollution free”?
This is also becoming the biggest health epidemic in our country (childhood obesity).
I just think that if both sides have a little respect we woudln’t even have to have this kind of conversation.
October 26th, 2007 at 10:41 pm
I’m in NO way debating the “issues” surrounding smoking. I can appreciate a curtious smoker. It’s just a shame that there are not many smokers that are curtious of us non-smokers. I have freinds that smoke and respect my decision not to but smoking outside of their own homes. I can’t tell you what that means to me. Besides, if they didn’t, I probably wouldn’t visit often.
As for my son’s asthma – I live in LA. That (i’m sure) is a major contribution. We have been lookink to relocate to help the problem (maybe).
October 27th, 2007 at 7:45 am
stupipplshldntbreed, well stated.
April RJ, I always try to be polite when I smoke, so I took for granted that most people were. I do not smoke in anyone’s house (I always have my kids so I don’t smoke in my car, either), and I don’t smoke in my own home. I believe that an establishment owner should choose if they have a smoking section (I don’t take my kids to bars or coffee houses because of the smoke). If you don’t want to breath in smoke than don’t go to the resturaunt or get take out. I don’t allow smoke around my kids (or drug addicts or alcoholics or cleaning solutions or too much sugar or too much tv, etc). I have some bad habits, but my babies shouldn’t suffer because of my mistakes.
October 27th, 2007 at 1:59 pm
Lisa – I don’t think ill of anyone that maks the decision to smoke. I think it’s nice that there are some considerate smokers. I have to say that most of my friends that smoke are considerate (same as you). I live in CA. All public areas are now “smoke free” indoors. Not amusement parks are another thing. Disneyland DOES have a smoking area.
Anyhow, sorry to have turned this into a debate on smoking. That was never my intention.
October 29th, 2007 at 6:54 am
Well, whether you smoke or not, and whether it’s tobacco or not, you DON’T share it with your 2-year old. Not directly by letting them take a drag and not indirectly by smoking around them. Period.
October 29th, 2007 at 3:01 pm
April, Lisa and Jaleja. I am glad. I know there are a lot of very intrusive smokers, and oftentimes when it comes up on message boards many non smokers act as if all smokers are like that.
I agree with, “It’s just a shame that there are not many smokers that are curtious of us non-smokers. ”
And would only add to it that many non smokers are intolerant and judgemental about smokers. It’s also a shame that more people (like you three) can’t also show a little respect towards my decisions, when they don’t directly impose.
Thanks!
October 29th, 2007 at 3:46 pm
I think anyone who can reccognize that ANYTHING they do that might be offensive to others and goes about it in a respectful manner is amazing and I have complete respect for them. I am no one to judge people for the decisions they make as long as they don’t affect me. Just like drinking for instance. I could not care less if some one is an alcohiolic – As long as they don’t put my life in danger by jumping in their car while impaired. Believe me – I have habits also – I pick at my split ends (I know not the same) but I won’t do it in front of people for fear that they might think it’s gross. Anyhow – I don’t mind if people smoke. I just want to choose if I go outside to sit with them while they smoke or stay inside and not jeopardize my health. I really do believe that ALL people should try to be curtious of one another in every aspect of life (not just smoking). We get one chance at life and who wants to go around pissing people off???
But I have to agree strongly with Jaleja – It’s not if you smoke or what you smoke, YOU DON’T GIVE IT TO A 2 YEAR OLD!!!
October 31st, 2007 at 7:55 am
Stupippl, I was not talking to you directly (you will know when I am because I will address you as Stupippl), I was voicing my opinion in general. But, since you are replying to me directly over a general comment I made, I will reply to you directly. I don’t care if you smoke or don’t smoke, but if you do smoke *whatever* and share what you are smoking with minor children, you should be brought up on charges for child endangerment. And you don’t know if I smoke or not. I happen to be a smoker who quit, so I’ve been on both sides of this debate. So put that in your pipe and you know what.
October 31st, 2007 at 12:02 pm
Jaleja, It seems I’ve offended you somehow? Not sure how.
I only added your name to my reply because I MEANT to agree with your statement. I must have had a brain cramp while writing my response.
I completely agree that my body is mine to care for or destroy, and that sharing with a child is just sick and wrong.
October 31st, 2007 at 1:04 pm
stupippl – That is why I hate to jump to conclusions with statements that are in black and white. Sometimes it comes across the wrong way. I know that I was offended when I read your post the first time – But after reading it again I realized that there was nothing offensive about it.
November 1st, 2007 at 6:36 am
[...] of the fact that yes, you are doing a fine job in comparison. Such as the mother mentioned on Parents Behaving Badly who apparently not only smoked up in front of her two-year-old son but also let him smoke a bit [...]
November 1st, 2007 at 3:11 pm
Thanks April. I strive for that same feeling. I try not to assume, but you’re right, it’s hard in print to always get the right feel for what a person’s saying.
November 1st, 2007 at 3:31 pm
stupippl – Today is my “leaf turning” day. I wore devil horns to work yesterday and everyone kept asking where my costume was. Today I am a kinder, gentler April…LOL
I have been a victim of the whole jumping to conclusions to something in print thing. It involved a family member. From that I learned how things in writing (typing) can be taking SOOOOOOOOOO wrong. Your intent becomes distorted and trouble brews. Oh, well. good thing we are all adults here and these things came be resolved. *hugs*
November 2nd, 2007 at 4:12 am
well, GREAT! Now I’m offended because i WASN’T mentioned in stupippl’s post! Ok, not really. I just want to say that I am not a Anti-smoking Nazi and I have lots of friends that smoke (BOTH types of leaves…) I just have my preferences.
(Why does that feel like the I am NOT a racist speech I hear all the time?)
November 2nd, 2007 at 8:31 am
LOL Kathy, cuz you’re saying you’re not “racist” against smokers, and it feels like you’re defending yourself!
and just FYI! MONDAY IS MY QUIT DAY~! (again damnit, again).
November 2nd, 2007 at 9:22 am
stupippl – I’ll be rooting for you. Hey – I have a friend that quit through hypnosis about 8 years ago. She swears by it.
November 2nd, 2007 at 9:41 am
Chantix.
My friend quit using this. It cost $100 though. Ugh. Lucky for her, our company reimbursed her 75% for quitting. They implemented this no more smoke breaks policy and used this as an incentive to quit.
She had soo much energy taking it, I almost wanted to fake like I smoked just to get me some! LOL!
November 2nd, 2007 at 10:27 am
I hear Wellbutrin is amazing for quiting. Plus you don’t get the weight gain.
November 2nd, 2007 at 10:40 am
ok, so what’s good for quitting all this Halloween candy?
November 2nd, 2007 at 11:19 am
KAthy -They have yet to find a cure for that. mmmmmm – I guess you stop when it makes you sick to look at it!! LOL
November 2nd, 2007 at 11:20 am
I always bring it to work and make my co-workers fat with it. That might help some…
November 2nd, 2007 at 11:45 am
That’s what I’ve done! but it is sitting on my desk and I keep reaching into the bowl! So instead of having to face it at home, I get to face it 8 hours a day! LOL!
November 6th, 2007 at 8:17 am
Sorry, Stupippl, I read this
“And would only add to it that many non smokers are intolerant and judgemental about smokers. It’s also a shame that more people (like you three) can’t also show a little respect towards my decisions, when they don’t directly impose” after being replied to by username, and thought you meant it was your decision to share or not share smoke with your children, and we should show a little respect for your decision. I also wanted to point out that I have been a smoker in the past, so I can understand both sides of the smoking debate. Sorry about that and for jumping down your throat the way I did. I misread your post.
November 8th, 2007 at 4:07 pm
Kathy, the cure for your halloween candy addiction? Christmas candy, of course!!!
Jaleja, no harm done

“You do realize that the overwhelming majority of marijuana users do so responsibly, and are wonderful parents?”
Here here! I’m living proof… What the hell was this chick even doing around here kid while smoking pot?
I’ll admit it. I am a pot smoker, and a mom. The difference is, I get to light up outside, NEVER in the house, after my kid is in bed. and Only after my kid is in bed… not, you know in the middle of the day with my baby hanging out in the room…Wow.
