The mother shouldnt have let ANOTHER person do shit around her child.
10 years is a joke..they are making a spectacle of her...BUT it might make other people think twice about doing this.
If you are a guest at someones house and they even hint that you should blow smoke into their kids face you need to leave...IF that kid has a mental disorder, and the parent or caregiver is telling you to mess with their already potentially unstable mind, you need to let someone know.
That being said...what the FUCK was the computer store doing going through her computer. It was repossessed PRIVACY and I would hope company policy would dictate you format the computer NOT go through it.
Now dont get me wrong..I bet there was a 18 year old teenager working in the shop...he was supposed to be restoring the comp to original settings, with a fresh install and clean hard drive...Its not hard to run a quick search before he does that...you know hes looking for home made porn...Yes I have worked at pc stores, and Ive even fired a guy for doing exactly this. (well he was copying down stored usernames and passwords for websites the customers were subscribed to)
I tell you people, if you put your computer into a shop DONT HAVE ANYTHING ON THERE YOU DONT WANT PEOPLE TO SEE. Saved credit card details...I hope nobody is that silly. Home porn...well yea heaps of people have it...burn it to a dvd or get an external hard drive enclosure...and one that is relevant for us on this site:
DONT LEAVE GROW ROOM PICS OR VIDS ON IT.
Morals are gone from this world...These days kids run the streets pulling girls skirts up panties down and recording it to STRANGERS. I mean yea ive seen the movies of it, and it was a giggle...but the poor victims must be mortified.
I just dont want to hear about someone going to prison cuz a computer store found 350 images and 70 videos of an illegal grow op when the guy put his pc in to get his antivirus updated. (yes, people bring their computers in for that lol).
If you work with other peoples personal computers try to show a little respect...sometimes theres folders right there on the desktop with really enticing names...you have to control yourself and do what you were paid to do...lol
all in all the computer shop had no right. The hardware was theirs, but the files this lady created, as in pics, written info and other stuff like that belong to the lady. Im not sure how they used this video as evidence..perhaps she signed a waiver saying they could go thru it and keep anything on it?
If you need to give a computer back put the recovery disk in, restart, follow instructions on screen. DELETE THE PARTITION when it asks, then format (not quic, full). Then reinstall windows, drivers and utilities.
BAh sorry i know ive missed the point of this thread...I just hate that kids these days think its ok to go thru other peoples computers...I've lost good workers to this invasion of privacy.

In a computer shop I would agree that if a PC is repoed it needs to be wiped before anything else. I on the other hand work with computers owned by my company and rented to the State. I am required to investigate for any 'inappropriate' files on computers. In 5 years I've found child porn, personal porn, stolen credit card information, and two videos of personnel getting high. All except the stoned videos and personal porn I informed my supervisor about. The two videos and private porn I carefully informed the people to NOT ever put that stuff on my computers because I don't want to have to turn them in or have someone else turn them in.
As far as this person. I don't care how stoned I was I probably would have beat the living shit out of the woman who shotgunned the kid. First the kid has mental damage, second he's 7! I started smoking at 13 of my own intent. At 7 years old I consider this child abuse. I have major moral issues with displaying any kind of habit around kids. My parents would occasionally drink, but I never saw in the inside of a bar until I was almost 16.
The bottom line is that the mom should have made sure that her kid was in bed before anyone started smoking up. My wife and I have smoked in a house where kids were present, they were all but barricaded in their rooms and it was well past their bed times, so in theory they were asleep.
If someone even hinted at thinking of doing this to my kid I'd get a jail sentence too, but it wouldn't be for child abuse. I simply won't stand for someone inflicting this kind of damage on a kid.
At the age of 10 kids brains are still developing, while there's no research saying that there's negative effects on brain development for people under 15 there's also no research saying that it's 'ok.' I don't think it did any damage to me when I was 13 since I'm college educated and have a very successful life, but still 7 years old ... sorry the woman who hotboxed the kid should get the chair and the mom should get life on a desert island with no food, water or weed.
Top it all off how do you think videos like this effect the legalization efforts? All the prohibition people have to say to slow it down is, "look at what marijuana makes people do" and show that video. For hindering legalization efforts I think the desert island should be populated with fire ants too!
