Fla. mom arrested after pic of baby with bong
KEYSTONE HEIGHTS, Fla. — A central Florida mom who thought it would be funny to post a picture of her baby with a bong on her Facebook page has been arrested.
Nineteen-year-old Rachel Stieringer was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. A Texas resident called Florida’s abuse hot line after seeing the picture online of the baby posing with his face in the bong.
Clay County Sheriff’s deputies say Stieringer turned herself in July 29 and was released on $502 bond.
A spokesman for the Department of Children and Families said Monday the baby had no injuries and drug tests came back negative.
A message could not be left at Stieringer’s home Tuesday morning. The phone number was busy on several attempts.
