"KEYSTONE HEIGHTS, Fla. (CBS) Hats off to the Florida mother who posted a picture of her baby "smoking" out of a bong on Facebook. Not only has she managed to outrage mothers all over the world, she has also gotten the attention of the Florida Department of Children and Families who have in turn launched an investigation into her parenting skills - or lack thereof - reports Sky News. The 19-year-old mother from Keystone Heights, northwest of Gainesville, is defending the photo. She claims it was taken as a joke and posted on Facebook so that she could show one of her friends. Newsflash! Facebook is a social networking website that hosts millions of members, including one concerned citizen who saw the photo and sent it to a Florida-based news outlet, says RadarOnline. The photo has since been cruising through various media outlets leaving stunned viewers in its wake. Eventually, the photo fell into the hands of the Florida Dept. of Children and Families which is now in the process of drug testing both the mother and the baby, says Sky News. John Harrell the spokesperson for the group told Sky News, "We are alarmed that any parent would take pictures of their child next to what is obviously drug paraphernalia." The unnamed mother has come forward and stated to Sky News via Facebook, "If u look at the picture u can see that there is no bowl in the TABACCO [sic] pipe...I would never ever ever let him get high." If drugs were used by or found near the baby, she could face serious charges, including losing her 11-month-old son to the state of Florida." http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20008851-504083.html I got a lol out of this. It shows the picture.

11 month olds don't instinctually know how to hold a bong. I think she's in trouble.

I don't understand the problem. Its just a bong. A baby doesn't know what a bong is (or anything else) so its not like its going to grow up to be a pothead because of a picture. Taking care of your child while high or exposing the baby to second hand smoke is awful, however, which I'm sure this woman was doing.

What is to get so worked up about. It is not like there was Marijuana in it.

If the picture showed the baby getting high, then yes intervene. But it was just a bloody unused bong.

She can't properly communicate on the Internet AND she blames the media for getting her in trouble. It's great.

As frequently observed on Gamespot...some pictures/comments either aren't funny or can get you into trouble. :) Posting a picture of your baby with a bong on the Internet is asking for trouble, innocent or not.

Generally speaking, 19 year olds do not make great parents. Some can, but a majority don't.

It's not like the baby was actually smoking it or anything. If it's just the bong with nothing in it, it can't be that bad..

Good. That just sounds like completely irresponsible parenting. I hope the child goes to a grandmother, aunt/uncle, or foster home that aren't idiots.

I'm going to be a father in a couple months, I don't think it's very far.

I would go ape-**** if I saw pictures on facebook of my wife posing my baby with a bong in his hands.

Where does it become okay for people to act like that? I might not be down with all the liberal trends, but I think it would be common sense that you don't keep your baby and drug paraphernalia in the same room.

Excuse me? Liberal trends? You take any opportunity to put down liberals don't cha?

What if I went into treads and generalerized an entire group of people based on the actions of one person? Oh according to this article, it must be the new conservative trend to let your baby play with loaded handguns.

I don't want to see her life destroyed over this, but something has to be done. I would be okay with a hundred hours of community service, and routine check-ups by child protective services for a couple years or so.

This kind of behavior is NOT okay. If she doesn't learn that now, she never will.
