Every group of teenagers has that one kid with the cool parents – the ones who don’t mind if you have a beer round their place while someone sneaks off to the bottom of the garden for a roll-around. No harm done right?

The problem arises, however, when parents start using drugs as bartering tools with their children. Take Joey and Chad Mudd from Florida, who are basically the poster-parents for the ‘how not to raise your children’ handbook. Here’s Gawker:

[They] were arrested Monday after they allegedly admitted to police that they regularly used drugs in their parenting of their two teenage daughters, aged 13 and 15, as a bribe to get them to do “household chores and excel in school”…

[Joey] waived her Miranda rights post-arrest and willingly admitted to smoking weed with the kids at least five times “as a bargaining tool”…

[Chad] stands accused of snorting cocaine with the girls in his truck in the parking lot of a Treasure Island.

Look kids, this pirate hid a chest full of cocaine in our car, what a treat. You’ll be pleased to know that both parents are facing multiple charges of felony child abuse and have their children placed in the care of a family member.

Sounds like they enjoyed the combination of weed and cocaine a little too much – no wonder they’re both crackpots.
