We weren't sure the method of ingestion would work since she had not been able to keep down water. But it did. She not only kept that down, she did not vomit again! The mj stopped it completely. She finally went to sleep and was able to recover without going to hospital. Had authorities found out, I would have been thrown in jail for child endangerment.

Would you have done this?

Your opinions?
Sure, there is a hugh difference between a teen and a 2 year old and also a medical case versus endangerment of a child. In my opinion, at 2 the kid has no reason to even be seeing being used... let alone being allowed to hit the bong himself. This is probably blown out of proportion by the media as Sso says, but I think this is endangering their welfare if only getting the kid started into a life of something which is currently illegal in the US before they can even choose what to eat for himself. It sucks that is illegal, but I bet it is stories like this (and memories of the Refer Madness videos) that keeps the non-smokers from seeing things our way.
