A couple gave their teenage daughters cocaine and marijuana if they went to school and did household chores, authorities said.
Chad and Joey Mudd, of Largo, a suburb in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area, gave their daughters, ages 13 and 14, drugs as a bargaining tool for school attendance and doing chores, Pinellas County Sheriffs detectives said. They were arrested Monday.
According to an affidavit, the mother said she smoked pot with her daughters five times and the father snorted cocaine with the teens and one of his daughters boyfriends in his truck.

And I thought my dad was out there when he gave me a beer after a long day of working in the hot sun when I was 17. (Legal age was 18 back then)

For boys taking away their video games as punishment will do it.
For girls the cell phone is the soft nerve.
Rewarding young teens with cocaine sounds like a very bad idea.

lol. My mom would let me have parties where everyone could have a “beer each”. We all got sloshed every time. I was 16. Everyone was at most eight or ten houses away. Poor dad had died and I took advantage of mom.. I’ve gone to confession since :)
As for bribing with drugs, I do the same with my cat...he’s a catnip junkie and needs treatment

Were we always this bad and we just hear about it more now, or are we in rapid decline? Makes me literally sick to my stomach.

I was about to call this a prime example of No Judgments, Upper Middle Class, Modern parenting . . . . . wntil I saw the pictures of the parents. Now I’m going with sheer stupidity.

Have you been to Largo? I have. “Suburb” doesn’t really describe Largo.

Drugs are bad, but at least they were subjecting their kids to homeschooling!

......the father snorted cocaine with the teens and one of his daughters boyfriends..... ______________________________________________________________________________________________ And which daughter; the 13 y.o. or the 14 y.o. has a dope head boyfriend who is old enough to have a truck? These folks put the work "fun" in dysfunctional.
