Nemis Quinn Mélançon-Golden first appeared on our radar two years ago, when the then-8-year-old drag queen who went by the name “Lactatia” was featured in a feel-good video by ELLE magazine. “This 8-year-old boy loves transforming into drag queen Lactatia,” ELLE wrote, “and he won’t let other people stop him from doing what makes him feel accepted.”

At 9, “drag superstar” Nemis was a hit at RuPaul’s drag queen convention, where he had a message for “the haters”:

At 10, Nemis was photographed backstage with a naked adult man (well, not entirely naked … he had tape on his junk) for Huck magazine.

Now Nemis is 11, and he’s live streaming jokes about snorting the club drug Ketamine. The tweet’s from back in January, but it started making the rounds on Twitter Wednesday.

11-year old drag kid demonstrates snorting ketamine. Why would anyone think this healthy? pic.twitter.com/BMfYCzDBmq — No One ?? (@tweettruth2me) January 13, 2019

This is not normal. https://t.co/6Pad4bBBl6 — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) May 16, 2019

What? Kids and drag queens go together like eggs and bacon … that’s why more and more libraries are featuring drag queen story time (for real).

This child needs to be removed from his parents. He is an abuse victim. This is horrific. https://t.co/DfnHIKLdEI — Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) May 16, 2019

What? His mom is 100 percent behind him and really seems to enjoy joining him on TV appearances.

Sickening — Kev (@kevin58477696) May 16, 2019

He's simulating snorting a horse tranqualizer??? — GOP Pouncer (@Mellecon) May 16, 2019

Yeah, it’s used in clubs as a psychedelic — Kev (@kevin58477696) May 16, 2019

And he knows about ketamine how?? Oh that’s right… — Kristin (@KiKi1185) May 16, 2019

This is disturbing. Why does that kid know what Ketamine is? I didn't even know until I looked it up just now. — Merissa? (@DarkHyacinth) May 16, 2019

The left doesn’t care anything about children. They either want to kill them in the womb or use them to further their nefarious agenda. And they say conservatives have no compassion? Completely absurd. — Jarrett Carey (@jcarey022) May 16, 2019

How on earth does anyone think this is ok? — Andrea Maria (@AndyCasarolle) May 16, 2019

Absolutely, unquestionably horrific!! Wow! Please someone save this child from the abuse! — John McGuire (@CaptainMac81) May 16, 2019

Hey, whoever doesn't see the beauty in him just being himself is a bigot. At least that's what the Left keeps telling me. — Casaubon ✞ (@_Casaubon_) May 16, 2019

Wow wow wow… this is not freedom of anything. It’s child abuse. — Dalia Al-Aqidi (@Dalia30) May 16, 2019

Disgusting on so many levels — Shawn (@cesarouppercutt) May 16, 2019

Why would parents want to promote this child’s need for self obsession? — Mildred Garner (@cmgarner_garner) May 16, 2019

That mother is looking at her kid like he's a piggy bank waiting to be opened. — jsFALLEN (@jsFALLEN) May 16, 2019

Well this has to be about the saddest, most hopeless, and abusive thing that I've seen in a very long time. — Jane D. Deplorable (@SoldiersDaught2) May 16, 2019

Wonder what the kid will be up to when he turns 12?
