Baby Bong photo: Lawyer says it wasn't a bong?

Whittington represents Rachel Stieringer, the 19-year-old Keystone Heights mom accused of a misdemeanor count of possessing drug paraphernalia.
Our partner station in Jacksonville obtained the latest documents in the case, which show that motion to dismiss was denied.
Instead, both sides agreed to refer Stieringer to a diversionary program. Whittington said once she completes the program, the court case will be over.
Whittington said Stieringer didn't want to comment.
Someone tipped off authorities after seeing the picture on Facebook last year. DCF started an investigation and Stieringer was eventually arrested.
In response to the motion to dismiss, prosecutors countered that Stieringer's Facebook name was "rachelxreefer." Prosecutors say Stieringer told investigators the baby found the bong and started playing with it.
Prosecutors say Stieringer admitted the device was a bong.
Stieringer still has her Facebook page active, under her real name. But her Myspace page is still titled "rachelxreefer."
Her story gained international attention last year, with the picture being show on outlets like Sky News of London and Radar Online in the U.S.

The so-called mother deserves a high 5 to the face as well as anyone who thinks this is at all amusing or justifiable.

Actually, if you turn the pic upside down, it looks like a big rattle and a baby drenched in bong water.

Who lets their kid play with a dirty bong? At least clean it first! And I think that kid has watched mommy a few times.
@twinite - this is sickening?! We are dropping bombs/shooting people, allowing people to be homeless, allowing people to starve, denying health care to people who need it all in favor of higher profits...And this pic is sickening?! This kid has a mom albeit maybe she is young and a little misguided, but the kid looks healthy, he's clearly in a house, mom's taking pics of him so he's getting attention. That is more than some kids get.

exactly. If you smoke a bong like that, you'll only taste finger. I don't even think the slide is in it... which makes it... unsmokable (those of us who broke the slide more than a few times can attest). Its really not that shocking, baby found a bong and played with it... wooo.

I agree its not that shocking the baby is just playing with a bong. Its not even like he was smoking weed, unlike that chinese baby that was addicted to cigarettes. Hell i think its kinda cute if you ask me.

Ok, People
Everyone just calm down.
It may or may not be a bong. That pic isn't exactly what you'd call high def.
I think some research with the item in question is warranted here.
So... Anyone got a light?

Water Pipe maybe? But that still has not been proven in a court of law. Bongs are illegal in most states Water Pipes are not. I live in Texas walk into a pipe shop and ask for a bong and they will ask you to leave.

I know it's a bong, you know it's a bong, the judge, the prosecuter, the defense attorney, the suspect, everyone knows it's a bong, but without actual physical evidence, i.e. the actual bong, there is no way to prove that this is a bong and not a vase, or photoshop. That is the way it works.

You're not kidding.
Walked into a shop
"Excuse me, do you sell bongs?"
"I'm sorry I'm going to have to ask you to leave?"
"Seriously?"
"Yes sir."
"Did I offend you?"
"No sir, but you have to leave."
"No? Well fuck you bitch, offended now?"
I learned my lesson.

i smoke marijuana and i never had an urge to put a bong to my babies lips. it's bad parenting plain and simple if it was a parent who took pictures of their kid with a beer or cigarette no one would blame it on alcohol or tobacco.
