... Young Isiah Johnson died from a gunshot wound to the head after his unnamed brother found a handgun in their drug den of a home, police said.

Johnson claimed to have been napping on the couch at the time, saying he “heard a boom” before he found the 16-month-old boy dead, according to a probable cause affidavit

The dead toddler was later found to have had marijuana in his system, while his brother tested positive for cocaine, prosecutors said while announcing the charges.  ...

Wow!  How devastating. More and more there is absolute disregard for our youth.

How the hell do kids that young get these drugs into their system?????

 
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

@LMAO

I  can see the 5  year old stealing from Pop's stash to see what catching a buzz is like,but a toddler smoking pot is pretty freaking hard for me to believe.
