Kid turns in mom for smoking pot.

[Winter Woman]

So much to say about this one. Will the kid hate his dad for using him in this way? How many people did she put back in jail for doing actually what she does? Did the kid take the DARE course?

HASTINGS, Minn. -- An 11-year-old Minnesota boy who says he was fed up with his mom and stepfather filling their home with marijuana smoke took photos of the drugs and sent them to police, leading to their arrest.
Drug agents served a search warrant on their home in Ravenna Township near Hastings, last month and arrested Heidi Siebenaler, a Dakota County probation supervisor, and her husband, Mark Siebenaler. Both face charges in the case.
A criminal complaint says the boy told investigators he had complained numerous times to his mother about the marijuana smell. He finally took the matter to his biological father who told him to take pictures of the marijuana. The father then forwarded the photos to authorities.

What a little prick.

Holy shit. That is low...

When I was 11 I complained to my parents about the ganja, but because I was afraid of them being caught and me being taken away. Did it not occur to this kid he may be taken into custody? I don't know if it was a ploy for the father to take custody of the kid or not. The father's actions were in tastefully underhand. If anything he should have done the documentation himself, or tried to take on the child in his own household.

I don't know, maybe I have a stupid child's perspective on this.

it's all about your own line in the sand. if they were smoking meth you guys would all have probably done the same thing. developing brains shouldn't be around pot smoke imo.

8lbs of marijuana and the mother is a probation officer. She should have known better.

 

[silasraven]

dude the least the parents can do is go outside. back yard or tons of fabries. dont like that 11 yr old but the parents need to vent the air so the kid keeps his mouth shut.

 

[blimey]

Yea, I think the dad was just trying to get full custody.

 

[DrexMcBluntyStrokeyStroke]

I dont blame the kid.

 

[kevin]

that's the #1 reason i never smoked or drank in front of my children until they were adults. those dare programs are designed to make the kids feel like a hero if they snitch until they do it.

 

[blimey]

8 lbs? That woman is doing business. If I was that kid I would of asked for a job!

 

[Winter Woman]

My niece came and lived with me for 2 years. I smoked everywhere but inside my home. She knew I smoked, but I never did it around her. It wasn't about being afraid of being turned in. It was because she was a minor.

It is my belief that the kid's dad set her up. The kid is really going to regret this move.

Edit: 8 pounds! Yikes. I didn't see that.

yes the kid is going to feel like shit when he realizes what he did to his mother. I think the father set him up. and also if your kid is complaining to you about the smell... then fucking do something about it, its your kid you should care more about your child than your weed. now dont get me wrong, Im not saying she should have got rid of it, but do something about the smell so the kid feels better.

god, i just dont want to know, stories like that make me sick to me stomach.

 

[Dont Fear The Reefer]

Daddy's revenge.. What an ass wipe... Mommy should have listened to junior!

 

[blakasassin1]

i blame the parents on this one you should never smoke around a kid + 8 lbs isnt just for personal use

 

[Jimmyjonestoo]

I think that if you are good to your kids and have a good home life the kids will know when dare starts that "hey my parents don't act like that there's no reason to say anything." If the kid was complaining the mom should have done something about it and she wouldn't have got told on like that. How many of us here had parents that smoked or drank in front of us all the time and never said anything?

 

[BigBuddahCheese]

Nah.. good for him. I have kids and they have no clue I grow or smoke, the way it should be. No way would I subject my kids to weed or smoke, if they choose to smoke when they are 18 then I will support it but I am going to let them live their own lives.

It's almost as close as child abuse what these people are doing, sorry truth hurts and they paid the price for being dumb ass parents.

2 big issues here....#1 is the use of children in the battle of divorce and seperation...#2 is the constant influx of anti drug messages being fed to our children via their education...not too mention the further bombardment of advertising they are subjected too while in school is infuriating me.
We talk openly to my 10 yr old...we have explained that it is medicine and helps people in numerous ways.....We have also explained the importance of responsible use of any medicine.


Now maybe the mother and stepfather are douchebags contsantly smoking in the house around a minor...and 8 elbows worth is just dumb any way you look at it,,,,,in which case I would say it needed to stop some way.....Need more of the story to make a good judgement....Like for instance did the father try speaking directly to his exwife and new man about the issue? or was this just purely out of revenge?

snitches get stitches
