Father, Grandmother Cited For Allowing 4 Month Old To Teethe On Bag Of Marijuana

A video posted to Snapchat led Sheriff's Deputies to a home in Deschutes River Woods where the father and grandmother of a 4-month-old girl were cited in lieu of custody for endangering the child by allowing her to teethe on a large bag of marijuana. The Oregon Health Authority states marijuana and its packaging have many chemicals that may negatively impact babies and young children. The father, 18-year-old Ethan Burgess and grandmother, 37-year-old Raechel Gilland will have to appear in court at a later date. The infant and her 2-year-old brother were taken in by Child Protective Services.
