MENOMONEE FALLS - A TODAY’S TMJ4 Exclusive: shocking and sad video. A toddler caught on tape smoking pot with his mother in the same room.
The mother is from Menomonee Falls. She was punished along with two of her friends.
The incident happened back in October, and police have now released cell phone video taken during the incident.
The three adults were all smoking marijuana inside a Menomonee Falls home, but it wasn't the drugs that got them in trouble. It was what police found on one of their cell phones.
The cell phone video shows a 2-year-old boy taking a marijuana blunt and smoking. The video shows his mother's friends teaching him how to do it.
“He's about to do it again. Hold it right here."
The boy's mother, Krystle Weber, was in the room at the time.
“I swear to God, I better not get in trouble for all this," she says on the video.
TODAY’S TMJ4’s Heather Shannon showed the tape to several Menomonee Falls moms. Everyone had the same reaction.
“That poor little baby,” one mom said.
“Oh, that is disgusting,” another mom said.
Amy Schneider is a mother of two with one more on the way. She's appalled at what she saw.
“Instead of a child, he's a form of entertainment, and that is just awful,” Schneider said.
Andrea Holmes also watched the cell phone video.
“I am in shock. I just cannot imagine doing something like that with your child and videotaping it and making a joke of it,” Holmes said.
Krystle Weber, Sean Held, and Dane Ashely were all charged with giving the marijuana to the boy. All three entered guilty pleas.
The criminal complaint says all three were in Ashely’s basement smoking pot when they gave the joint to the toddler, so he could smoke it too. Sean Held told authorities it was “funny” and that he was surprised that the toddler seemed to know how to inhale.
Weber is taking parenting classes, but she still has custody of the boy.
Weber's attorney says his client has maintained complete sobriety since her arrest last fall. "She is gainfully employed and has been doing everything in her power to better her life and the life of her son."
Children's Hospital did run tests on the little boy and they found that he did not have any marijuana in his system.
