Drudge perpetuates the hype

SHOCK: VIDEO SHOWS PARENTS TEACHING KIDS TO SMOKE POT...

The headline above appears on the Drudge Report. Definitely get's your attention. But for those of us who have watched the news this weekend know that it wasn't the 'parents' that did this, it was a teenage uncle who lived in the house. I guess saying that it's the parents drives more interest-Never mind if it's true or not.
WATAUGA, Texas (CNN) -- Police in suburban Fort Worth, Texas, said a videotape found in a search for stolen goods appears to show two teenagers persuading a 2-year-old boy and his 5-year-old brother to smoke marijuana.

Third-degree felony charges have been filed against the teenagers.

The incident began unfolding February 22, when the Fort Worth Police Department executed a search warrant to look for stolen goods in the apartment of 17-year-old Demetris McCoy, the unemployed uncle of the two children, and 18-year-old Vanswan Polty, Ure said.
