Couple Rescue Dogs, Leave Boy to Burn

(Center, Pennsylvania) James Chandler, 33, and his girlfriend, Crystal Adams, 31, escaped a fire in their mobile home while rescuing their dogs and marijuana. Unfortunately, they forgot to rescue Chandler's son, four-year-old Adam Chandler, who firefighters found cowering and crying in the corner of a bedroom.

"It blows my mind. I'm a father of three children. When they brought that boy out, it hits you totally," [Center Fire Chief] Brucker said Tuesday.

"How do you put somebody to bed and not remember that they're inside? I just find it hard to believe."

Both Chandler and Adams were charged with reckless endangerment. Also, Adams was charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. An officer saw her try to hide a baggie of dope in her pants.

Adam Chandler was treated for smoke inhalation. Authorities would not comment on who presently has custody of the boy.

This case appears to support the contention that marijuana makes people stupid. Smoke enough dope and you forget you have a child. Frankly, I wouldn't call that NORML.
