A 2-Year-Old & Her Pot Brownie Habit: Kids These Days, Right?

Is La Crescenta - the hideaway in the hills near Hollywood - turning into a hub for junkies?

     Daycare owner Roubena Hartounian was arrested "on suspicion of child neglect and endangerment." A 2-year-old, having been sent home for the day, was severely lethargic, and tests confirmed there was THC (the fun chemical in marijuana) present in her system. An investigation began and drug paraphernalia was found inside the daycare.  

Roubena Hartounian, alleged ablutophobe.
Filed a restraining order against Mr. Clean years ago. 

     Hartounian said no one was living there, but it seems that someone was living there, based on the drug paraphernalia lying around and the amount of dirty dishes present.  
     Knives and rat droppings all over the place (on the TOYS, too!) seem like dangerous and continual conditions and it sounds like the rat-den was horrid for a long period of time.  I am not a parent-blamer, but isn't it odd that this went on for so long without being reported by another parent? Parents who knowingly put their children into this type of environment ought to be noted. It took a 2-year-old getting into someone's accessible stash (or was it given to the child?), then hospitalized, to close the place down. That is what's pretty sad if you ask me.
     I do not object to people smoking weed or eating it or...whatever.  I do, however, have a huge problem when a small child is unwillingly involved in both body and mind.

     What strikes me as funny is that I realize I am a parent-blamer. I guess maybe I've seen one-too-many parents tell their kids to throw their gum and garbage on the ground instead of in the garbage bin mere feet away where it belongs.  

This all takes place in the same state that elected this guy for governor.
