The home video of two boys, aged two and five shows them being forced to smoke a marijuana cigar while the mother still remains in the background. Police says their uncle, 17-year old Demetris Mccoy and 18-year old Vanswan Polty – were teaching the two children—how to get high.
“They're essentially trying to get them high, the children are stumbling they're falling down, they're significantly impaired. This is just horrible video,” said Bruce Ure Director at the department of public safety.
Ure said it appeared that the videotaped scene was not the boys' first such session. “He's holding it like he's done it before, he's inhaling, and this isn't the first time,” he said.
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.
“We would like to charge him with a first degree felony. If our children can't count on adults who can they count on?” said Ure.
At one point in the video the two-year old says “no more.” He runs off to the kitchen. His shorts fall down. Police say the child is clearly wasted. Seconds later he comes back to his uncle.
Police say - there's faint female laugher in the tape, which could be the boys mother. The boys' mother has told police she was sleeping in the back bedroom during the incident.
She has not been charged, Ure said. “The only thing I can say regarding the mom is that we're still investigating that particular aspect of it.”
The person behind the camera is a minor who has not been charged as of now, even though he's the one who rolled on the whole thing. Polty is free on $22,000 bail - Mccoy remains at the Tarrant county jail.
Children protective services say the children are fine and won't have any long-term affects because they smoked marijuana. They've been placed in foster care.
