Rachelle Braaten, 24, from Centralia, Wash. was arrested and jailed on Friday after a video showed her allegedly letting her 22-month-old son smoke marijuana from a bong.

Braaten house was searched afterwards by the police’s anti-crime team to make sure the child was alright but instead discovered 40 marijuana plants in the home, KOMO 4 News reported. She was immediately charged with manufacturing marijuana and giving a regulated substance to a minor.

In the video, Braaten appears to laugh while her son leans over the bong but she’s allegedly regretted her action saying she felt “horrible” about the incident.  “I guess it was a joke and a stupid mistake that wasn’t really funny,” she told police.

On the other hand, father of the child and Braaten’s fiance who claimed he was absent at the time the video was filmed was also taken into custody. Tyler Lee had allegedly confessed to selling marijuana to a dispensary. He was also charged with three counts of unlawful possession of a firearm but was released Monday pending filing of charges, according to Q13Fox.

Braaten’s son and her other 5-year-old child, are now in protective services as she remains in jail on a $5,000 bail.
