Brianna Ashanti Lofton, 20, was arrested for forcing her 1-year old baby to smoke marijuana.

Authorities in Raleigh, North Carolina arrested her after a man from Rochester, New York posted a video online of Lofton giving her daughter marijuana.

The child was placed under the 'care' of Child Protective Services and the mother was put in police custody.


<<When asked why she would do such a thing, Lofton responded: "I was gonna read my baby a book, and then I got high.  I was gonna give her food I cooked, but then I got high.  Now my baby is high as a kite, and I know why. Because I got high, because she got high, because we got high . . .ba da da pah pah pah . . .">>

Aight!

A North Carolina mother was arrested on Wednesday after allegedly forcing her 1-year-old child to inhale marijuana, as seen on a Facebook video that went viral.

Brianna Ashanti Lofton, 20, was charged with two counts of felony child abuse, contributing to delinquency and possession of marijuana, according to an arrest warrant obtained by ABC affiliate WTVD.

Raleigh Police became aware of the video after a man in Rochester, New York, posted the video online, according to WTVD.

In a statement, the police department thanked residents and others who began posting the video and related information after 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.

"Big thanks to everyone who posted information about the smoking mother and baby," the department wrote in a Facebook post. "Thanks to your willingness to get involved, the child is now safe and the mother is in police custody."

Lofton was set to meet with Wake County magistrates Wednesday evening and was being held on a $100,000 bond, with a court appearance scheduled for Thursday.

She has been arrested four previous times, all last summer, on various misdemeanors including simple assault.

The child was placed in the care of Wake County Child Protective Services.
