Show the social workers and put it on You tube so we can see it.

Your brother should deal with this not you. Kick his *** if necessary. Fortunately if you act quickly and get the two year old in to a proper and safe environment this will have no effect on their life for they will likely not remember it within the week.
Make sure something is done NOW!
Wishing you a good outcome.

she's not fit enough to have a kid to look after, .... this really ****ing irritates me, people like that need to get the heads seen to! that kid will do well not to follow in the foot steps of what is clearly an irresponsible unfit parent!
any type of drug use is bad, nay wrong!, but to take it in front of her kid is just appalling.... just goes to show in what priority she ranks them!
it depends on what drug class it was, but he better off (i'm presuming it's his kid as well) to child protection agency. if it's for the good of the child he should be placed with the most responsible parent.... (i also make the presumption that he isn't involved in taking ****!)
good luck and i hope for the child sake that it gets sorted, and secondly that the mother gets help.

I would seriously try and get your brother to ihave serious words with his girlfriend and to get her to be made seriously aware of what taking drugs do and how this is going to affect his son whom he will get legal custody if she refuses to do anything herself to stop the problem with the help that is available today.
If she does not seek help to come off them, tell your brother to nform social services if the police are refusing to do anything because this is really unacceptable behaviour and she is putting the child's safety at risk. Drugs (except for nicotine) take the person into an altered state of reality and with a small child in her care, could so easily put that child in serious jepordy. It could be akin to someone falling asleep with a cigarrette in their hand - drugs make you absent from what is going on around you and with a two year old running around, she is not taking responsibility for her son or herself.
There is a reason she is doing the drugs of course and she wouldn't take them for no reason at all, so there are issues there that she needs seek professional help and possibly counselling to find out why she is taking them. She is running away as that what taking drugs do. They take you away from the things you don't want to feel inside and temporarily numb you so that you don't feel and the fix is short lived and so then an addicction is formed. Being a mother cannot be easy for her either and contributes to the problem. So this is why she needs to talk to someone, including your brother about what support is available to her and how to find a workable soultion to this problem that if left to spiral out of control, will do a lot of damge.
Your brother, is also responsible for the welfare of his child and if he sees his ex partner doing this in from of his child, it is his legal right to remove the child in her presence into another room where the child will not be subjected to the self-abuse her child will begin to learn these habits she is also teaching him. She needs to know that this is wrong and abusive behaviour that her child is going to be emotionally neglected when the drugs will make her absent.
If she refuses to co-operate with your brother towards a solution, then he will have to let her know that if she isn't going to seek help and support to come off them, then he will have to inform social services because your brother is a good father and doesn't want any harm coming to his young child whilst in the care of someone who is not being responsible.

that is sick,hopefully social services will get involved and give parental responsibilty to your brother,it doesnt matter if it is class a,b or c,even if it was "only" cannabis,as some people think its ok to smoke it in front of a child,surely the child would get similar reactions ,as thay are breathing in the fumes.any parent involved in any type of drug doesnt deserve to be a parent.

Your brother made a film of his son watching the mother taking drugs?
Sounds like the child needs to be put in a home where both parents have a brain.

leave it with the cops. they may be watching her and you don't know about it. they have to catch her first. that is awful for a two year old to do. he may have to fight to get his son away from her for good. get a good lawyer. show the proof to the lawyer. get hrs involved also

Please tell your brother to be very careful, he may be the one to get in trouble, if you are here in the US it is illegal (in some states) to video tape someone without their knowledge and this tape can be used against him if she gets a crafty lawyer, I've seen it done before and it can be done...
