This is one of the most SHOCKING and DISTURBING things I've ever seen. I mean I've seen people on drugs before, but this is a KID!! I wonder how this affects her long term development. By the way, very NSFW website: http://filecabi.net/video/m070707x.html
Well it turns out the people involved claims it was a hoax. Hopefully drug tests might be able to tell. Might be too late to detect it. How long does the drug stay in your system for it to be detected through a hair follicle test? http://www.click2houston.com/news/13656145/detail.html
good lord i could only watch the first few seconds before i got sick i mean seriously WHY would any mom do that to her child. I hope for the child's sake she is taken away and put in a group home and the mom locked up
why would you just sit in a car recording this?!?!? man these are so screwed up parents... makes me sick..
thank you for providing this link. whether it is fake or not, people should read the info and understand that authorities are still concerned about the environment that this litle girl is growing up in...
Very disturbing if it's real. I don't understand any logic in any parent doing such things to their child. Why even joke around like that, now that girl is gonna be stamped as a druggie when she hits school at a later age.
I have a hard time calling it a fake as-is. The girl's eyes are certainly not doing....natural things.
I disagree -- two year olds don't act like that un aided. She hardly even reacts to someone touching her face etc... She just sits there with a blank look on her face and her eyes keep rolling back in her her head.
Indeed...at the end of the video you can clearly hear that it's a Houston radio station playing in the background.
I saw this yesterday. reports was that it was a Houston Christian radio station. I fthis is true, obviously this is one family who slept through the "thou shalt not give recreational drugs to two-year old kids" sermon.
The video can also be seen here (safe for work) http://parentsbehavingbadly.com/ As a parent, I can assuredly say... that kid was on drugs. Two-year-old children do not sit still, staring, rolling their eyes back, de-focusing their eyes, and not responding when someone raps them on the head or squeezes their face. No sir. That kid was not pretending. She was on drugs. And, honestly, the fact that the parents were using such harsh language around the child and had the child sitting on the floor of the van, rather than in a car seat warrants that their child be taken away and delivered to truly caring family, IMHO. Here's the most recent article from the Chronicle on it: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/4958191.html July 11, 2007, 1:40AM Witnesses deny tot in video was on Ecstasy Deputies trace 2-year-old and others in van to Harris County By MELANIE MARKLEY Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle Harris County authorities have located the 2-year-old child who was videotaped on the back-seat floorboard of a moving van while teens joked that she had taken the drug Ecstasy. Lt. John Martin, a spokesman for the Harris County Sheriff's Office, said Tuesday that all nine people in the van — the toddler, an infant, four teens and three adults — are from Houston and were returning from Padre Island when the video was taken. Everyone interviewed said the girl was not on Ecstasy, despite contrary claims on the video. Martin said that authorities have yet to determine whether she, indeed, was given the dangerous stimulant and hallucinogenic. No charges have been filed. "There is not enough information to say with any degree of certainty whether or not (the toddler) was exposed to any illegal drugs," Martin said. In the video, which originally appeared on YouTube, the 2-year-old child is seen crouching on the back-seat floorboard of the car and rolling her eyes back until only the whites are showing. A young woman in the car laughingly taps and squeezes the little girl's cheeks, telling her to stop rolling her eyes. "Cookie, stop rolling, girl," she said. "You shouldn't have popped no x." Investigators were told in interviews that the toddler had merely been asked to roll her eyes back into her head while they videotaped her, Martin said. He said the little girl's mother, who is 21, was in the van when the video was taken. The video later was posted on YouTube with a link to a MySpace account maintained by one of the teens. Martin could not say how investigators located the people in the van, but a spokeswoman for MySpace said the social networking site had cooperated with authorities in their investigation. Harris County Child Protective Services spokeswoman Estella Olguin said the agency is eager to conduct its own investigation now that the children have been located. Aside from the toddler, an infant is seen being passed from person to person in the back seat. The people who were in the van told authorities the video was shot on June 22, Olguin said. The two small children have been placed in the custody of relatives while the investigation is conducted, she said. "We are looking at more than just whether a crime was committed," she said. "We also are looking at the welfare of these children, if they are in a safe environment, if there is cause for concern." The video, which appeared on other Web sites after it was removed from YouTube, revealed ties to both Harris County and Jackson County. An announcer on the car radio is heard giving the call letters KHCB FM, which is a Christian station in Houston. An instrumental version of Jesus Loves Me is playing in the background. The Jackson County Sheriff's Department and the FBI took part in the investigation.
even though it looks disturbing i'd have to say no parent is dumb enough to give their kid X...even these morons. and if the kid was on drugs, i doubt it's X. the "X comment" in the video was just out of the blue. the kid looked like she was doing it b/c she like the reactions of those around her. i try to get my 20 year old nephew's attention a lot of times by snapping my fingers and waving in front of his face, but he sometimes doesn't respond. it's just his way of being in his own world.
