Concerns over the impressionability of today's youth are common, but nobody would have expected to see what police in Watauga, Texas did when they uncovered an extremely disturbing videotape last month.
They say it shows a 17-year-old teaching two of his nephews to smoke marijuana, and the boys in question are just two and five years old.
"I've never seen anything like this, quite so disturbing," said Bruce Ure of the Watauga Police Department.
"They have scarred them and it's absolutely horrific."
According to authorities in the town, which is near Dallas, a man is seen on the videotape placing a marijuana cigarette into the younger child's mouth while in another part of the video the other boy is shown smoking on his own.
Police found the tape last month while investigating some burglaries and quickly slapped the 17-year-old with a felony charge of injury to a child.
"Our children count on us to protect them, these individuals did everything but protect those children," Ure added.
An 18-year-old who also appears on the tape faces additional burglary charges.
