WATUGA, Tex. - A Texas Police team says it's the most disturbing video it has ever seen. ![]() Teens arrested for giving marijuana to young kids in video Police say they recently found home video of a 17-year-old and his friend coaxing his 2 and 5-year-old nephews to smoke pot. In the video, one of the older boys can be heard asking the young children if they have the munchies. Seventeen-year-old Demetris McCoy and 18-year-old Vanswan Polty were arrested after the tape was found. Officers say at one point the video shows McCoy lighting the joint for the 2-year-old. Police say this wasn't the first time the kids were pressured into narcotics. “The 2-year-old child, he's actually inhaling it,” said Chief Bruce Ure of the Watauga Police. “He's got a raspy voice. He gives all the indications that this is not his first time, which is incredibly sad."
