Parents Behaving Badly

Mom Who Gave Son Dope Made Poor Choice of Illegal Intoxicants

by admin on September 19th, 2006

Thanks again to hot tipper Patty for this follow-up on the story of Amanda Lynn Livelsberger, the Pennnsylvania mother who’s been giving her son marijuana since he was 11. This new article sheds a scrap of additional light on why Livelsberger thought she was doing her son a favor. And I quote: "The boy said his mother told him smoking marijuana would help him forget about his father, who is in prison for selling crack cocaine."

Silly mommy! Everyone knows that pot intensifies experiences, emotions, and sensations; it doesn’t "dull" you to anything. (Try smoking when you’re anxious, and see what I mean. Um, not that I’d ever do anything illegal, of course.) If you were truly trying to obliterate your son’s memories of his crack pipe-wielding papa, you could have chosen from any number of other drugs, including:

• LSD. Had your son seen his dad’s picture on the mantelpiece melt into a cute puppy, odds are he would’ve started taking that whole "crack cocaine jail sentence" thing in stride.
• Opiates. Sir William Osler called opium "God’s own medicine", and the Egyptians used the drug "to prevent the excessive crying of children". Shit, girl, opium was practically made for your son!
• Heroin. The ultimate drug for the total obliteration of consciousness.
• Crack! Hey, why not fight fire with fire?

Good mothers know which illegal drug to call on for the situation. You, Miss Livelsberger, missed the mark by a country mile with your erroneous choice of weed as a healing balm. Bad mommy! Bad mommy!
