Unfortunately, Parenting Fails do not go on hiatus (like this weekly column does on occasion). Connecticut parents Kristin Augeri and Thomas Way, ages 23 and 22, respectively, are currently being held in jail after police discovered their child was caught smoking marijuana. Their 3-year-old son, that is. A video that showed the child using a lighter and inhaling smoke from a glass pipe was found when police were executing a search warrant in the couple's home. The preschooler was filmed by his parents during his marijuana smoking session, who laughed and even gave him assistance as he alternated between inhaling and coughing.
During their search, police also discovered weapons, ammunition, drugs and drug paraphernalia. The parents are facing a litany of charges, including risk of injury to a child, criminal possession of a firearm, possession of a stolen firearm and failure to properly store a firearm. Their bond has been set at $150,000 and they are slated to return to court on April 15.
Families in Medford can contact Oregon Department of Human Services if they feel a child's well being is in jeopardy.

How embarassing for this family, and for society as a whole.
