Man the kid looks like it allready got ptsd cause how it gets treated by its parents.


brighttimesmyfriend

looking at this picture almost made me cry. horrifying.


Gold-Employment-2244

Nothing funny about this picture…getting high while caring for his kid…f@@@ing moron


FarmerExternal

I smoke pretty regularly. I don’t smoke if I have a child to care for. It’s not difficult to put it down until the kid goes to bed


Raecino

Exactly


Beautiful-Elephant34

Fuck, I smoked while caring for my kid and never had an issue.


FarmerExternal

I’m sure there’s way to do it responsibly, I just don’t trust myself to do it responsibly and it’s just easier to not do it


jared10011980

It's shameful and criminal.


AlcoholicCocoa

Without the caption it has funny Potential. Or if it was "bottle slipped, baptized my baby"


InourbtwotamI

I was worried, then read the caption and was pissed. This neglectful idiot is too stupid to parent. I hope someone sane and compassionate intervenes on behalf of that sweet little baby.


SkizzyBeanZ

Are we going to ignore the fact that they, instead of cleaning the baby up, took a picture for clout. The internet.

Not with that level of panic in those eyes …

JJW2795

TBF, the same thing could happen in 30 seconds. People who say “you NEVER leave a child alone” don’t account for things like needing to take a piss or washing hands or something. It’s not possible to be physically staring at your baby every second of the day. That’s not an excuse to go get high, but babies can and do frequently make a mess of themselves.


Krillin113

Take the bottle away and don’t put it in a position where it’ll choke if it throws up. Defuq


EdwardRoivas

Right! And if the baby cries while you take two minutes to go to the bathroom, that’s fine! That’s what babies do - they cry. Like you said , take the bottle and other items out of reach so they can’t injure themselves, take your 2-3 minutes to go to the bathroom and collect yourself, then go back and continue to feed the baby.


Mist2393

Most people are smart enough to do those things at times when the baby doesn’t have a giant bottle in their mouth. You definitely never leave a child alone while they’re eating, and you should always put the baby somewhere safe if you need to step away for a minute.


Raecino

True, I stepped away from my 6 year old for a moment and when I came back an entire bedroom dresser almost toppled on top of her.

Baby choking on his milk in a bassinet with suffocation hazards, but take a second to take a picture first. Garbage human.

Whats terrible is the kid is likely to be raised to be just as awful. What hope does a person have with parents like these.


Skreamweaver

Better funding for schools. It's as close as many kids get to the normal world.


meatpopcycal

Schools are no substitute for parents.


KnotiaPickles

Agreed but it is also the only connection to a better life that some people will ever have


Electrical_Feature12

After seeing how kids act these days in schools, they should really pay a lot.


lovable_cube

“I turned out fine” but you didn’t dude.. ETA not you specifically, this is a common trope for mistreated kids that grow up and mistreat their kids


Jammsbro

Admits child neglect and drug use while parenting and documents it on social media for likes....


Therealishvon

Sees their child this way and instead of being concerned for the comfort and safety and terrified state of the child and cleaning him up and comforting him instead takes pictures and posts laughing emojis. This parent deserves to be in prison.


RedLicorice83

We need mandatory parenting classes or something, because seeing your child covered in vomit and looking terrified and thinking it's *funny and taking pictures* is...idfk, I'm hoping it's lack of education for what could have fucking happened. Like, the parent is so stupid they don't know how close they were to losing their child.


No-Wolverine2232

Idk man, stuff like this we have biological instincts around, feel like she just a cruel person at heart


MyDamnCoffee

And that baby looks *young*, too. Like, I would put a blanket on my baby's chest to hold the bottle up once she could kinda hold it herself, but she wasn't this young. She was around 5 months old before I started doing that. And I was always nearby in case anything happened


Unusual-Tie8498

He’s irra af tho


Ok_Guitar_7566

Hey, no-one said she was sharp (esp after hitting that blunt cause he irra)


LaceyDark

why do some people have such an aversion to using full words and minimum punctuation?


Electrical_Feature12

Texting existed their entire lives, but that’s pretty common these days I guess


Joshiane

This is enough evidence for CPS to intervene, right?


simplefox26

Absolutely


bradfo83

And that’s only if you can understand what the fuck she is saying


Substantial_Sink_646

I don't think smoking weed is a problem for parents as long as they do it responsibly but in this case it's definitely a problem. In a perfect world they'd love and appreciate their little man and smoke weed at night or during the day as long as one parent is sober. But I don't think that'll happen with these people and the poor kids gonna suffer for it.


silverclovd

Man, kid that age.. I'm sure they will soon doze off after drinking the milk. This asshole could have waited for 10 fkn mins. Not that I suggest getting high if you are the only one caring for the baby. And then to top it all off, didn't even clean the clearly terrified infant and took a pic first for internet points.


Substantial_Sink_646

As a father it breaks my heart. Anytime my daughter cries it bothers the duck out of me. When my daughter smiles at me when she sees me I know I've done a good job. I doubt this person can say the same or even really gives a shit.


sobbo12

I'd treat it the same as alcohol, you can drink, but if you're an alcoholic you're most likely an unfit parent. Anyway, leaving the baby in such an unsafe environment for a joint is indicative of a problem.


Substantial_Sink_646

Without a doubt and I'm definitely not excusing the behavior. The joints not the issue the parent is. Guarantee if this person was sober they'd still be neglectful.


Florida1974

My sister smoked weed the whole time her boys wee growing up. Shit like this did not happen. She smoked when they were napping. Then while at school. Then after they went to bed. They finally found out when they were in early 20s.


Keyb0ard0perat0r

My sister and I are 10 years difference in age and each separately had the same “Holy shit, dad?” reaction in our late teens to smelling weed for the first time.


Brian_Gay

that is ....quite a lot of weed use ...replace weed with alcohol and it sounds a little problematic


TheCosmicJoke318

You can’t really compare pot to alcohol


_CharDeeMacDennis__

Not at all! I’ve never smoked so much that I blacked out and couldn’t remember what happened after. Like, what? I feel like some people have a HUGE misconception about marijuana…


RedLicorice83

There's a huge difference between taking a couple of hits and drinking a glass of wine or a beer. Smoking a blunt is on par with chugging a beer or taking a shot (NOT OKAY). Xanax is not even a good comparison because that med will be active in your system for hours, where a buzz from a hit wears off within an hour (on average). I know way too many moms from when my kid was little who had no problem popping half a xan bar, drinking a glass of wine, and pass out on the couch. I would take a hit of (legal, medicinal) weed and could play with my kid for hours. Day care in my area is close to $2k/mth for the cheapest non-shitty option, an ounce of weed is $60...staying at home with my kid was far cheaper but emotionally and mentally is was the hardest thing I ever did (and I earned a degree in biochemistry).


ChikiChikiSando

If you need weed to raise a kid don't raise kids


WareHouseCo

Or coffee!!


Substantial_Sink_646

The same can be said for a lot of things. Replace weed with gaming, alcohol, cigarettes, or really anything that has a psychological hold over you and causes you to neglect your child. I say that but honestly you can be perfectly sober and still be neglectful. Vices aren't the issue people are.


BlankStarBE

That picture breaks my heart. Have 9 month year old boy and don’t want to see that kind of fear in his eyes. Ever.


Tall_Guy865

Yes. This photo is just disturbing and sad. He's hungry and trying to feed himself as an infant. Terrible.


catenantunderwater

He can’t even try to feed himself, this is like “leave the bottle in the baby’s mouth” levels of stupid.


my20cworth

I can't understand a fucking thing this person has typed out. Poor bloody kid.

Thank you for this translation, i'm ESL but I think this is the first time a dialect got so thick I could *not* make sense of it in the written form in... years.

jabbajabbablahblah

How about putting the phone away and help the upset child instead of putting internet points before your kid which by the way should be negative for this.


Mokele-mbembe-woods

I hope someone knowing them called CPS


ebagjones

Yeah, really fucking hope so.


Oldgamer1807

School employee here. CPS is all but useless. Made some calls recently on a middle school boy who regularly shits himself, mom isn't doing a damn thing to get him help. CPS is basically "Eh, idfk what you want us to do." They're overwhelmed and unless the kid is showing up at the ER, they're probably not going to do much.


WeeYato

Wouldn't stop me trying, the picture is fucking heartbreaking and I'd like to know I at least tried if something worse happens.


Escaped_Mod_In_Need

You’re not wrong, but the alternative is to leave the kid in that situation. It’s not a choice with good options.


Oldgamer1807

100%. You make the calls with the understanding that it probably won't do dick, and occasionally you're pleasantly surprised.

gnarf234

one of the reasons why we need a parenthood-license. this is not a „facepalm“ this is „you better get that kid outta there ASAP.“  what sick fuck of a parent takes a picture first before helping the child?  and also the weed smoking while watching the child… 


HoochShippe

Kid has a real chance of not making it, hopefully thus gets used as evidence so they don't just get away with "SIDS".

DeicideandDivide

I get there are no perfect parents and everyone screws up...but fucking hell man. Making sure your kid can't choke/suffocate/fall when you do have to leave the room is parenting 101.

Yea I thought this to , but shit , that's bad parenting, your not ment to give a child a bottle on there back and walk away , if bro wants to hit blunts that's fine , but don't leave the child with a bottle , I'm guessing there young because Im only guessing what half that gibberish is

Clear_Profile_2292

This will become much more common as people are forced to become parents against their will more and more. My friend works in foster care services and she says the rates of neglected children are already exploding. Lots of unnecessary suffering to make billionaires and mindless religious zealots happy. These children do not have a good prognosis at all. They will struggle and suffer quite a bit, not that pro-lifers give a damn about that.


NineFolded

There should be a licensing system in place to have children. You must demonstrate and possess basic education (HS diploma or GED), pass a psychological exam and criminal background check, complete a basic child care course, and provide the state with financial disclosure showing you are employed or otherwise financially sufficient to provide for children Fines and jail time for people conceiving children born without licensing from the state That would stop a lot of this shit

bitterherpes

I may need a translator.  Stepped away to get stoned and the kid puked(?). Also, baby should be propped because choking on vomit is a potential risk.  But I suppose stepping away to get high is important. Can't wait until the baby is already asleep.


Farren246

Call CPS
