A Pennsylvania mom admitted giving her teen daughter psychedelic mushrooms and marijuana during a “bonding experience,” authorities said.

Brandy Lee Betz, 42, was charged with felony child endangerment after she was reported to cops in June regarding her drug use earlier this year with her 14-year-old daughter, according to an affidavit obtained by the Patriot-News.

The referral indicated Betz gave the teen “shrooms” and marijuana while in her Middletown home. Dauphin County child welfare officials conducted a parallel probe and Betz confessed to smoking pot with the girl, according to the affidavit.

The Left’s position is: “There’s nothing wrong with serving veggies and a salad to a 14 year old!”

She should have had a degree in Psychology. Then no one would have batted an eyelash.

The Mom is too old to be a hippy. Maybe she’s the daughter of one?

I long for the old days when parental bonding involved storming castles and pillaging villages.

Mommy probably made the mistake of wanting to connect and be cool with the daughter.

There was this family when I was in high school ‘68-‘72, 2 nice looking sisters and a mom like the one mentioned. It was considered “lucky” by some to be invited over to their house for a party! Crazy world, but nothing new.

The point of being a teenager is having the opportunity to sneak around behind your parent’s back.

This psycho Betz was hit with charges last year for calling an unnamed man 70 times in one day.

Had a talk with my 20 year-old son who is now in his second year of college away from home and since its post-covid, is fully living with and seeing students from across the country and all walks of life.

He realized and commented how “parents and a bad home environment can really screw up kids, and have consequences for their entire lives.”

It seems obvious, but to a young person who was nurtured in a stable, gentle, Christian home, it must be quite a shock to finally grasp the differences.

Pity the poor girl in this home.

I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and so been there, done that. My parents were clueless about drugs. I would bust my grandson all the time. Come home late and hit the refrig “Oh I see we have the munchies...”, or “You are a little too bit chipper and talkative for 2am...”, or “What’s up with the camel routine?”.

All tell tale signs of doing something. Of course you have to have multiple indicators...

This kind of thing has been going on for a long time. A lot of adult marijuana users consider their favorite weed to be the most harmless, enjoyable thing in the world, so why should their teens be deprived?

In the 1980s SF Bay Area, I knew a number of parent-teen drug buddies.

Heck, I even knew a guy who said that he smoked pot with his grandmother. Grandma was an RBG-like 70-ish Jewish lady who lived in one of the wealthiest enclaves of Marin County, California.

I was at a friend’s house about 20 years ago when his brother-in-law and his girlfriend, a daughter, and two dogs came for a visit. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw her. I’d seen her mugshot on TV within the previous two or three years. She’d traded her teen-aged daughter to a couple of black drug dealers for some meth. Through conversation. it turned out that that daughter was at home with a half-black baby. She was probably 17. The one they were traveling with was probably 12.

Marin County, California.

What was that comedy TV show in the 70's where they made fun of life in Marin, CA? Tall blonde guy, did most of the shows in a hot tub?
