An Illinois mother showed a world full of slacker parents how it’s done when she discovered her teen daughters MySpace page was full references to her stonerdom. Let’s just say she’s a “tough love” kind of gal:

ZION — A revelation on a MySpace page resulted in an April 8 arrest of a 17-year-old on charges of unlawful possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

The teen’s mother said she was alerted to her daughter’s marijuana use when she read the daughter’s MySpace page that was left open on her computer. The mother told police she read a conversation between her daughter and a friend that included statements of smoking “weed” and possessing “weed,” a police report stated.

The next day, the mother told police, she found her daughter’s digital camera in the family’s living room. The camera had a stored video clip of a friend of the daughter’s apparently smoking marijuana with a pipe.

The mother found the pot and the pipe in her daughter’s sweatshirt the next day, and brought it to Zion police headquarters.

Awesome. That’s how parenting is supposed to look. Tough, fair and forward looking. The kid got charged with possession, and her friends bailed on her (of course) claiming they only “simulated” smoking pot with her. After taking the rap alone you think she’ll realize what kind of people you end up surrounded with when you’re a stoner?

And who says pot doesn’t affect your decision making skills? She left her pot reference covered MySpace open where her mom could see it and filmed herself getting high. Sounds to me like she either wanted to be caught or she was seriously “burned” as we used to say decades ago. Either way her mother was there to pick up the mess, good job mom!
