WATAUGA, Texas (CNN) -- Police in suburban Fort Worth, Texas, said a videotape found in a search for stolen goods appears to show two teenagers persuading a 2-year-old boy and his 5-year-old brother to smoke marijuana.

Third-degree felony charges have been filed against the teenagers.
"I have never seen anything like this quite so disturbing," said Bruce Ure, director of public safety for the Watauga Police Department. "Our children count on us to protect them; these individuals did everything but protect these children." (Watch kids puff on apparent joint as teens laugh )

The incident began unfolding February 22, when the Fort Worth Police Department executed a search warrant to look for stolen goods in the apartment of 17-year-old Demetris McCoy, the unemployed uncle of the two children, and 18-year-old Vanswan Polty, Ure said.

Among the items recovered was camera equipment, Ure said. Upon looking at one of the tapes, investigators came across "a session where these two males were providing marijuana" to the youngsters, he said. "They were essentially trying to get them high, laughing. The children are stumbling, falling around."
Ure said it appeared that the videotaped scene was not the boys' first such session.

The 2-year-old was holding what appeared to be a marijuana cigarette "like he's done it before," Ure said. "He's inhaling."
The boys' mother, McCoy's sister, has told police she was sleeping in the back bedroom during the incident. She has not been charged, Ure said.
Nor has another minor, who served as the cameraman, Ure said.

In the video, a man puts a cigarette into the toddler's mouth. The other boy is seen smoking without prompting.

The children have been in the custody of Child Protective Services, Ure said.

This ish made me want to cry. They interviewed the mother in a later news report and what was so disturbing was her focus on her brothers well being opposed to her children's well being. She barely acknowledged her children, her main focus was on her feelings towards her brother being locked up. My damn heart was hurting after watching this.

Then, this wasn't an isolated incident either, because the children showed "experience" in smoking. The 2 year was holding the blunt like a pro, this is just so sickening, I dont know how else to explain it.

Yeah, this is very terrible.
I saw the mama and her comments and all I could say was.
"Girl, I hope you know what just happened because your kids are gone".
Its a crying shame.

Yeah, I saw this on television as well.

She'll be lucky to get those children back. And even if she does, she'll be subject to a strict probationary period, I'm sure. This is what happens when babies have babies.

I saw it last evening. I wanted to slap some sense into that so called mother. I failed to see the humor in those kids smoking weed but I can see how a teenager could find it funny. Probably not laughing too much right now though.

This is a shame! What is that saying about gasoline drawers?

Parenting IS the problem with today's youth. This case is a perfect example.

Its like that old song: "Take your time young man.....don't you rush to get old...."

thats just upsetting to see these young brothas do that to that infant and then record it on tape let its the smart thing to do

When i read the news article, i was in shock, but having just seen the video footage is just disheartening.

Unfathomable. Someone needs their arses kicked. Two times!
