Ohio mom accused of giving marijuana to 2-year-old
CINCINNATI — A grand jury has indicted an Ohio woman accused of providing marijuana to her 2-year-old daughter and using her cell phone to record the child smoking the drug.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters said Wednesday that 21-year-old Jessica Gamble of Springfield Township in suburban Cincinnati was indicted on child endangering and other charges.
The video shows the child handling and puffing on a marijuana cigarette.
Investigators say Gamble gave the girl the marijuana at their home sometime in August and that a person they haven’t identified gave a copy of the video to the state family services agency.
Gamble remains in jail. She could be sentenced to up to 11 1/2 years in prison if convicted of all charges.
A message was left at her lawyer’s office.
