A YOUNG mum has been arrested after video footage emerged of her sharing a bong with her 22-month-old son.
Rachelle Braaten, 24, was arrested after mobile phone footage of the toddler inhaling marijuana smoke from the bong was handed to police anonymously.
In the clip (see below), adults can be heard laughing in the background as the little boy sucks from the device and coughs.
"I guess it was a joke and stupid mistake that wasn’t really funny," Ms Braaten, of Washington in the US, told officers.
She claimed the boy suffered no ill effects from the experience but conceded: "He is two and he shouldn't have known about that. He shouldn't have that in his body."
According to Washington's Komo 4 News, Ms Braaten said she felt “horrible” about the incident, which is believed to have happened five months ago.
She has been charged with multiple drug offences, including delivery of a controlled substance to a minor.

She was released on bail yesterday following an appearance at Lewis Superior Court.
The boy has now been taken into care along with his five-year-old brother.
Their father, 25-year-old Tyler J Lee, was also arrested after police recovered 40 marijuana plants from the house.
Washington is one of a handful of US states that allows possession of small amounts of marijuana for personal use.
