Meet Erica Martinez, a young mother of a one (1) year old baby boy. That's her mug shot below...
Apparently vying for a cover shoot for Sh*t Parenting Magazine, Erica was arrested for child neglect at about 6:00 pm on Wednesday, October 21st, 2015 in Oklahoma City when she was caught in a car that reeked of burnt marijuana with her one (1) year old son and a one (1) year old girl who were strapped in car seats in the back of her car.
Apparently Erica and her friends had taken a smoke break in the driveway of a home in her (or the) white Chrysler 300 that she was driving when a nosy neighbor saw the smoke and called the cops.
When the cops arrived they observed Erica behind the wheel with two (2) other adult females and the two (2) infants were in the back seat. Sgt. Ashley Peters with the Oklahoma City Police Department told local news reporters that "It was later determined that these [women] were smoking marijuana and there was an odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle as well. I’m not sure if [Martinez] was babysitting. But it was obvious she had disregarded the care of her own child as well as someone else's. The children weren't taken into custody - luckily there was someone who could take the children, so the children are now safe."

Memo to Erica (and the Folks): Anyone who knows me knows that I am, er, let's just say "{com}passionate" about recreational marijuana use. I firmly believe that continued marijuana prohibition is right up there among the all time STUPIDEST things that our government has opted to do; BUT I also believe that smokers, like drinkers, should be both responsible about their behavior and held accountable for their actions. Thus I neither endorse smoking week and driving a car nor do I grant leave to expose children to marijuana, and therefore I am calling young Erica's acts a "Parenting FAIL!" (albeit not necessarily an "Epic" one).
Memo to Erica (and the Folks) continued: Until marijuana is decriminalized you must smoke carefully, and even where and when it is you must...
