Last weekend, a three year old boy unknowingly put the Australian police on the trail of his parents’ illegal marijuana plantation. The boy was found in the middle of the night, walking in the street by himself, wearing nothing but his diaper. When the police found out where the boy lived, and brought him back to his home, they discovered the marijuana plantation.

The Port Macquarie police responded to a call of a local resident. At the boy’s home address, they found his brothers, aged 16 and 18, but the parents were nowhere to be found. While the police were searching for another one of the toddler’s brothers of the age of 8 years old, they coincidently encountered a huge illegal marijuana plantation.

Terrible state

According to the Port Macquarie police, the house itself was in very poor condition. When they checked the fridge, they only found an expired carton of milk, and two slices of watermelon. The police decided that it would be in everyone’s best interest to remove all of the children out of the house and contacted the Department for Child Protection. The mother was charged with the endangerment of a child and for the involvement in the cultivation of cannabis. The parents will appear in front of a judge on April 6th of this year.
