A man has been sentenced to two years in prison for letting his 14-year-old son smoke crack.

Glenn Knighton, of Hebron, pleaded guilty Friday in Licking County Common Pleas Court.

The 42-year-old is charged with corrupting another with drugs, possession of cocaine, endangering children and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Prosecutors say Knighton and the boy's mother, 38-year-old Sonya Brown, smoked crack with him in front of an 18-month-old child they were babysitting at a Newark motel room in February.

Prosecutors say Knighton encouraged his son to smoke crack and provided instructions.

Knighton's attorney says his client disputes that claim, but admits he was wrong not to stop his son from taking drugs.

An outrage! At least he didn't let him smoke CIGARETTES in front of the baby! Doesn't he deserve some leniency for that?

these are the kind of "wonderful parents" raising the next generation. There is no hope for the future.

"Knighton and the boy's mother, 38-year-old Sonya Brown, smoked crack with him in front of an 18-month-old child they were babysitting at a Newark motel room in February."

What kind of parents leave their child with a couple of people in a motel room?

"I got addicted. News, particularly daily
news, is more addictive than crack cocaine,
more addictive than heroin, more addictive than cigarettes."

No,No,No, see it's all about those evil wicked drugs. It has nothing to do with an individual's own responsibility. </ sarcasm off>

2 years isn't enough. 20 years would be more appropiate.

Dan looks like he is on crack in that picture! I would find some pics of him and edit them, but he is funny enough without editing.
