Mom also says that the video was mistakenly uploaded to social media and it's not her error. "It's more common than you think," the mom said. "It's just not put out there on recorded video.

While speaking with the media representative, the woman claimed that if asked to her children they will represent her as a good mother and she has no qualms regarding it, "I feel like it was not an endangerment to my kids," she said. "If I felt like it was something that was going to harm my child in any way physically, mentally, emotionally, in any way like that, I wouldn't do it around my kid.

Ever since the video has been uploaded online it has sparked an online debate with many parents claiming the video is no big deal and are comparing it same as drinking. While other parents are criticising the young mom for exposing her kids to weed smoke at such young age.
#7 Social Media Debating On The Matter
One person commented, "Okay..lemme clear this up for a select few. When you say, "what's the big deal? People drink around their kids all the time"..First tf off, your babies are in the same room stupid! You know they catch a contact! It's clearly a choice you make..To smoke a joint/blunt/bong/pipe..Whaaaaaatever..just be a decent person and step in the other room or the closet like me." While another posted, "Those of you saying it’s the same as drinking around your child. It is not. My kids don’t get buzzed by osmosis. Kids can get high or buzzed by you smoking near them. This is what’s wrong with this generation, you guys think it’s ok. You also justify it by saying things like drinking and driving with kids, so you’re justifying it with something that’s clearly wrong? Pretty sure that makes you wrong. I’m all for making it legal, but smoking it where it can have an affect on them, that’s just horrible parenting. Your children are more precious then you and they should be treated as such."
