A video of a baby smoking a small cigar outraged social media users Wednesday, who alerted North Carolina authorities and helped them identify the 20-year-old mother. It is unclear where the video originated, when it was posted and whether the substance the child was smoking was marijuana. “Big thanks to everyone who posted information about the smoking mother and baby,” police told their Facebook followers in a post Wednesday afternoon. A version of the video posted by a user who called for the mother’s arrest had received 1.5 million page views, according to the Associated Press. The 10-second video showed an adult-off screen holding what appears to be a small cigar in the infant’s lips.
